Years ago Kate Harding (who I used to really like!) wrote a whole impassioned essay on Jez on how we should all be REALLY MAD at Sandra Bullock because her husband slept with a racist. The same people defend HRC/Billl for some reason...
Ha, I have similar memory from reading a John Iriving novel and a character was supposed to be huuuuge... At 150 pounds. It was kinda shredding for me to read that as a teen who weighed like 145 and was a size 6 or something.
It DOES matter that some (actually a lot) of candidates voted for Bush. MORE of them voted for Bush than voted for Nader. If he had been able to sway those 537 from the Dems that voted for Bush, he would have won also. It makes no difference that Bush was a viable candidate (in fact, it makes their votes even more…
More Dems crossed over to vote for Bush in FL than voted for Nader. Gore lost because he was an uninspiring candidate who had a lot of Clinton baggage and was terrible at campaigning. Sounds kinda familiar, right?
The amount of Internet outrage this is getting given that she lives in NYC and her potential non-vote for Hillz won’t amount to anything is a liiiiiitle over the top.
People forget that more Dems in Florida voted for Bush than anyone in Florida (of any party) Nader. There was also reported suppression of the African-American vote.
“Cook lunch and discuss the local food scene.” Ugh. ugh. ugh. I love cooking and discussing food, but if a male professor asked me to do this for him I’d probably throw up in my mouth.
In addition to that, they’re also using that filter that makes everyone look like they’re made of silly putty...
Haha... awesome! I’m just gonna assume that Rachel Maddow reads my Jez comments now. :D
Of course it would be Portland!
This was me but with RENT.
Right? Apparently a 14 year old me is still alive in my heart, because this headline gave me all the feels!
Hari’s book is really great! I really had no idea about how the drug war came to be until I read his book.
Racism was part of the drug war since the beginning. Billie Holiday was basically stalked by the founder of the drug war.
I love anthro even though I can’t really afford most of their stuff and as a someone with a non-waifish figure, most of the their stuff looks terrible on me (big boobs, tiny waist, big hips). But I see their ads and I’m like “mayble I would look amazing in that blouse covered half with feathers!”
Other commenters were trying to tell me it was off-the-cuff, and I was dismissing that. That was sort of my post. If you think she went into this interview “prepared” then what the hell do you think she was originally trying to say? You don’t make a mistake on that level, as a “prepared presidential candidate” for no…
Ehhh calling this “shade” seems sketchy as hell IMHO, especially since even HRC herself hasn’t framed it as such in her retraction. I would respect a ruling from Judge Kara Brown, tho.
That was kinda my point.... ????
It was a pretty detailed statement. It’s hard for me to believe that she was just spit-balling. She had to know, going on TV during Nancy’s funeral, that she would have to stay some nice stuff about her. I don’t find pleasible that she was just searching for things to say and came up with this stuff. It’s too…
