Why not? We are going to need someone shrewd enough to negotiate, and win, with a Republican Congress out for blood.

How can you say that? You’re saying that bringing up children is somehow less significant that what you’re doing every day at the office? Or, in this case, what she was doing in the lab? Most parents, including myself, would say that how we act as parents completely transcends anything we could do outside the home in…

As someone who believes that the humanizing parts of people are the most important, I believe that the woman actually comes out looking better. So no, I don’t.

I’m hoping (and guessing) there’s still a very, very healthy middle, with those on the extremes simply appearing to be bigger than they are because they suck up so much oxygen on social media and scream the loudest.

Lol!

Yeah, politics has been schizophrenic this year all over the globe.

The more I hear about Clinton’s emails, the more I like her. We need a brilliant, calculating President in order to keep the economy humming along while simultaneously bringing about the slow, incremental change necessary to maintain a healthy and fluid democracy.

Trump has to run the tables in order to win. He’d have to win Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio and Virginia- almost impossible at this point. Not going to happen.

Everything you write is true up until the last sentence. In fact, Breitbart- and the Trump masses in general- have been all over rich white males for the past six months, calling them “globalists” “elites” and “cucks.” This is an anti-intellectual populist movement that celebrates working class whites over both…

Yeah, Republicans were much cooler than Democrats on the race issue up until the 60's.

Most guys don’t ask what a woman does when they meet her probably because they care more about her looks than her job- that’s not good, but it is the way many guys are built, or socialized to think, or a combination of both. I do agree that it is unfair and likely won’t change for a while.

I work in finance and really like my job. That said, I’m far more proud of the dinosaur models I do with my kids. I’ve also told my wife that I don’t want my work mentioned at my funeral when I die. I only want people to talk about what kind of a person I was, what I loved to do outside of work, what kind of a husband…

Are domestic skills less important that professional accomplishments? Some might say they’re more important. No snark here- I’m genuinely curious.

No, but her son, Matthew Brill, specifically told the Times that she, “made a mean beef stroganoff.” The NYT routinely tries to put a human touch on obituaries for famous people. That’s all this is.

Exactly- to her kids, the beef stroganoff brought back many nice memories, which is why they had it put into the obituary. Anyone who gets angry over this desperately needs a hobby.

Sure, and hipsters can grow 1880's blacksmith beards and wear skinny jeans that show their muffin tops, but we have a right to comment that they look like idiots.

I’ve noticed a strange trend in plastic surgery, where the fake look seems to be “in.” Meaning, in places like LA and Dallas, plumped up lips and an almost automaton-like appearance are the goal.

He’s a racist because.....

Yeah, I know I am, but it really isn’t my intention. I think immigration is refreshing and healthy for a fluid society.

I think that’s roughly true. In this climate, the university would not have fired a black female professor, for fear of a lawsuit.
