Because it takes about $12/year to have a website? Seriously, that was an amazing read.

"a chance to see a pretty girl...."

yeah basically. because us wimmin don't say nothin' worth quotin'! or something.

Political parties don't even woo us, they catcall us. "Vote for me, sugartits!"

I can just imagine the pick-up lines from the Republican Party:

So, pics of the girls, quotes from the boys. Gotcha.

Modern Whig Party? WTF? I had no idea such a thing even existed.

And this is actually a thing...how did I not know about this ridiculousness.

Wait... rebranding forgotten or niche things as cool is a Democratic Party platform? That is a hipster thing and they liked the Democratic Party before it was cool and are now into a new small party, you know, one that you never heard of but it is totally amazing and no, they aren't aren't going to tell you about it…

oh yeah

Shorter list:

Oh my god, this was great. Isha... I think I love you.

I can definitely understand that. My little sister couldn't understand why I freaked out when she posted something about me being pregnant online, but that is exactly the scenario I wanted to avoid. Telling close family about a miscarriage is one thing; announcing it to the world is another.

Nature AND Nurture! It'll be ok, I promise. I've got one with Asperger's Syndrome, and maybe it's my fault for swallowing that vial of mercury on a dare that one time, but you can't dwell on what's done.

I wouldn't rush to connect the two; miscarriage is more common than many people realize. It wasn't until I was pregnant with my daughter that I found out that pretty much everyone woman in my family who had kids, had also had a miscarriage at some point.

Mother, why had thou not diversified thine potato diet when thou delivered me?

Thank you. You could do a much better job writing about science than anyone on the Jezebel staff.

How far back are we required to scrub out our sins? Father, why had thou not conquered your alcoholism when thou sired me? Mother, why had thou not diversified thine potato diet when thou delivered me? Forgive me, my child, for your devotion to chips and beer; these are burdens we have carried for a long time, and…

I'm going to just say not so much on this one. People in poverty, living in third world countries still conceive just fine. People who used to smoke and drink on the regular in the 20's-80's had most of us. It is always something.
