And basically everyone thought it was hilarious that Texas is, in the name of improving women’s healthcare, willing to send women to New Mexico, where those laws that improve women’s healthcare don’t exist. It is ALMOST as though “improving women’s healthcare” isn’t really the real reason for HB2, whodathunkit.

... is this opposite day? I really thought Alito would be the one.

Fortunately, we don’t live in a participatory democracy. We live in a two-party system where independents have the same chance at the moment of being elected as I do of flapping my arms and flying to the moon. So whoever you support, be it Hilary, Bernie, Trump, or Cruz, it’s in your best interest to vote for the…

Oh, he’s a child, he didn’t know what he was doing.

Or, he meant exactly what he said. It’s pretty clear this is about the content of the photo ... so he could, in fact, care less about what she has photos of. If the photo in question was one of kittens frolicking in a meadow, I would imagine he couldn’t care less.

Let’s say I teach biology and we do a dissection lab, using scalpels. Later, long after the lab is over, one of my students reaches into a drawer where the scalpels are stored, and stabs me with it. According to your argument here, this is my fault entirely for having scalpels in the classroom.

Having been a teacher (college level) my assumption is that she didn’t have a resource she needed to teach successfully. I bought web hosting once, on my own nickel, for an entire class because it wasn’t “possible” for IT Services to set up a server for my use despite the fact that every other college in the area…

I gave up on social media as a bellwether when I was ASSURED that Bush wouldn’t win in 2004. :) Not slamming you, but yes, I have the same experience with my social media being overwhelming progressive, which is partly because of how sternly I curate it.

She looks like she’s wearing pantyhose. There’s just such a dull, matte finish to the photoshopped image! It makes my soul cry it’s so bad.

I don’t know where you’re located, but even in my extremely blue city and county in an extremely blue state, I personally had conversations with people who believed that Martin was doing something wrong and Brown was a grown man with a weapon. I agree that there is more public outcry, but I think you’re overstating a)…

Or, he’s a complete sociopath who has no ability to replicate emotions on his face because he doesn’t understand what they are. That’s my personal opinion, and I realize it’s unqualified diagnosing-at-a-distance, but I’m okay with it. I can still sleep just fine at night for being a Judgy McJudgyPants about the…

On the one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, I think we are exhibiting a very healthy and correct fear of someone with at least the facial behaviour of a sociopath. While the article is a bit tongue-in-cheek, I think most people who look at Cruz knows something ain’t right there. But we seem to have trouble…

His wife is no great shakes as a human being either - remember the thing about how she had to break off from pressing the flesh in Iowa to go take showers? - so I suspect she’s very happy with her lizard-Bible-man husband, but even Ted’s mother thinks Cruz is fucked up.

We’ve had our differences in the past, but I love you for this comment. Cruz is completely terrifying! I am one piece of cardboard and a very blue state away from standing on street corners shouting “WAKE UP, SHEEPLE”. Trump is not nearly as bad as Cruz, in my opinion. Like, he’s the terrifyingly questionable and…

I have no idea what’s wrong with you because I feel completely fine with the fact that so many people hate Ted Cruz’s stupid fucking face. If they hate his face, maybe it’ll make up for the fact that a lot of them sure as hell don’t recognize that he’s not running for President, he’s running for…

I knew someone who pronounced it “brefix” but at least I had the option of not discussing the morning meal with her. That sounds like a nightmare.

I touched on that in an article yesterday. I know a woman who made a claim that she’d been raped where, due to the fact that I know all the involved parties and saw really questionable behaviour from her (it verged on assault) for quite a while before the assault happened, I was comfortable it was a false allegation.…

I can’t agree with this sentiment. While the exact circumstances of Till’s murder MAY not happen again, what else was it when Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin other than a modern-day lynching where a black child died for existing in a way that a white person found inappropriate? I’m white, so when I say we, I’m including…

Insensitive Porpoises is my Smashing Pumpkins cover band now.

You’ve peaked my interest, but I don’t want to be your escape goat.
