El Idiota is NOT losing his grip on the office and his attempts at re-election are neither hopeless nor falling away. He will be re-eletected by white people who are afraid of Blacks, Mexicans and “others.” They hugely outnumber the whites who might vote against El Idiota, and don’t forget that poll numbers don’t mean…

She says, “I thought it was my apartment” 20 times. Maybe the writer meant to quote that. 

Yes.

It's not a well-written sentence.

Depression distorts your view of reality so that killing yourself looks like the most merciful, generous thing you can do to benefit those around you. It might look selfish to people like you, but a suicidal person is not, in fact, motivated by selfishness.

Women, stop being nice.

I ask all my friends not to use the word “lady” to describe me. http://chicanaontheedge.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-wo…

Why do Jezebel writers use the word “lady” when they can use “woman?” Many of us find the word “lady” sexist.

The Irish were also enslaved, but Dolezal isn’t Irish either, so your point stands.

Not a bad theory.

Exactly! How long did she think she was going to get away with this when her white family was out there, NOT part of the charade?

Yay, we agree!

“...straight couples who conceive without medical assistance are seldom accused of selfishness for not choosing to adopt.” That’s true, although this article does it: http://chicanaontheedge.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-se…

I know! I resent articles that suggest we cut down on something (sweets, alcohol, meat) that are accompanied by tantalizing images of that very thing. Come on, Jezebel! Use images consistent with the message!

Nutrition is our new religion and can be debated endlessly with scientific evidence to back up any opinion. http://www.npr.org/sections/thesa…

The kind of natural fat in nuts is not bad for us. It’s good for us.

These days someone can find research to back up any opinion on food and nutrition. It's all a matter of opinion right now.

Eating fruit isn’t AS BAD as eating candy, but that doesn’t make it healthy for everyone. Fruit has been bioengineered to have a LOT more sugar than generations ago. It isn’t as healthy as it used to be and is harmful to people with metabolic disorder (pre-diabetes). Likewise a “light” cigarette might have less…

Well, thinking that corn and fruit are healthier than beef and guacamole are a matter of opinion. Your opinion of healthy clashed with your friend’s and since you’d provided all the food, her not eating it bothered you. That’s understandable.

I have a little Sharper Image rolling bag and when flight attendants see me get on the plane they usually ask, “Will that fit under the seat?” I say, “Yes and I don’t need leg room” (I'm five feet two).
