And their charges should be these five house reps.

True, but for some reason I can't imagine Romney caring about unemployed people who have given up or already used up their unemployment benefit if he gets elected. Anyone who understands how unemployment is measured knows it has those limitations. And we all know those limitations are hyped or dismissed depending on…

Ugh. Wasn't that terrible? After the first debate, there were a few good blog posts about how Obama doesn't have the privilege of being angry, among all the whining about how he was too passive. And here we go, 2nd debate he really brings the assertion, and within 5 minutes CNN is pulling the Angry Black Man card. …

I know plenty of liberal men who would answer the pay equity question exactly the same as Romney. Sexism might be more apparent among the Republicans, but it's alive and well on the Left, too.

You don't need to explain it for him; he explained his position very well. And his position is offensive and wrong.

I think you have an interesting insight into why we're earning so many more degrees than men. MRA's like to whine about how our system is discriminating against boys in school, but it's not true. The reality is, we've been told all our lives that we have to work twice as hard to get half as far, so we've been…

Shoot, there aren't even dads who want or have flexible work schedules so they can work full time but still cook dinner a few times a week! Totally 100% always the woman's job. Always.

You're not giving him enough credit. He also said some crap about making it easier for women to leave work on time and put food on their families.

Don't get complacent! Electoral-vote's algorithm probably isn't identical to fivethirtyeight, but they're probably pretty similar. E-v's uses a weighted average of the past few polls, so we won't see what the real damage in the electoral college is for another day or two.

Acceptable? Absolutely! I'd even call it responsible and proactive.

This would be hilarious. I'd be proud to see my "donate $11 to have dinner with Obama!" funds go toward the making of this ad.

Thanks! Yeah, Zevia is really tasty. Before I quit caffeine, I used to love their Mountain Zevia and I still drink their ginger ale. Now can we just get random rural gas stations to start carrying it?

As a food scientist, do you know why it's not as good in carbonated drinks? You've got me really curious now. I know Coke either has or used to have a diet with Splenda, and the SodaStream flavors - both regular and diet - have Splenda in them. I don't remember it tasting better or worse than any other kind of diet…

New diet sodas? Really? Could they please not have aspartame in them? PRETTY PUH-LEEZE?????

Hah. Silly Kinja. Well, I enjoyed your comment nonetheless. I didn't know anything about Haidt's background, so I'm actually surprised that he's written some intelligent stuff. The pork analogy was egregious!

Okay, I figured out what I was vaguely remembering above. (Should have just googled the first time around.)

Thanks, Lindy, for the validation and reminder that it's not necessary or helpful to debate with or try to understand the views of those who just want us to get back in the kitchen. They can't be won over with reason or logic, and the expectation of hearing both sides out is really unfair. To pull an out-of-context…

But didn't the Obama administration start out with a policy that would have made religious institutions actually pay for the insurance plan that covered the "whore pills"? Or something like that? I remember the policy started out more aggressive and then Obama compromised to make it so the religious organization's…

I actually am a semi-redhead (my mom has the super red hair; I just ended up with reddish auburn), so I can slightly relate. I don't usually get the Irish response, but I can't tell you how many creepers say creepy things about my freckles. Multiple random, unrelated jackasses in different cities and on different…

Ding ding ding! That's the one! Thanks :)
