No one is saying they can't, I'm just saying it's idiotic to waste your time during what is supposed to be a fun, mindless holiday, policing what other people are wearing and pearl clutching when those costumes offend your political sensibilities.

Did she even know he was coming to move in with her?

I know. What happened to meeting for coffee in a public place first, you know, before moving in together?

Poor dog! He's already got a broken leg and has to have surgery, why humiliate him even further by naming him fucking Starbucks?? Hasn't he suffered enough?

Women buy more books than men, and it's a well-known, oft-lamented fact that female authors—especially first-time authors who haven't yet "proven" themselves capable of appealing to both genders—are frequently given covers that say more about the publisher's target consumer (and disturbingly fossilized take on what…

Obviously it's a pretty big troll, capitalizing on people like me who are somewhere between embarrassed for humanity, and currently in search of a facility that will (inexpensively) cryogenically freeze me until society has overcome its affinity for hypermeta pop culture.

All it's doing is bringing her a lot of pain

Yes, everyone be quiet and respect her choice to marry the asshole who will probably kill her one day. It's the right thing to do if you care about her feelings.

Are you serious? Yes she's a victim but do you think that means that everyone should just accept that she's staying with a guy who thinks nothing of punching her lights out, and not say anything, lest we be accused of "judging" a victim? Fuck that shit.

I'm sorry but if she were "relatively strong", she would have kicked his sorry ass to the curb the first time he laid a hand on her (which you know wasn't the time he punched her in the elevator). What "useful input" can she possibly have as long as she stays married to that violent asshole and keeps defending him?…

Genius.

So diversity's only good when you're talking about good things? Would you feel better if I added Pol Pot and Caligula or Mengele to the mix?

But also, it ignores the fact that you can be very good at your job, and be a shitty spouse.

Exactly. I think Hillary was pissed off not because he cheated, but because he was caught.

But being called "cunt" or "the worst writer alive" isn't a dialogue; being called "a white girl" as a discrediting tool (this from personal experience; I'm also black) is not a learning experience.

Linda Tripp and Ken Starr ruined Lewinsky's life. Bill Clinton in guilty of being a bad husband and sleazy old man, neither of which are illegal. And neither of which have anything to do with this performance as president.

He had an affair. That sucks, but it's between him and his wife, and maybe the mistress. Trying to make it into a political thing is what was ridiculous.

No, it's not a legal journal but that's no reason to get angry at people for being logical and stating facts. Personally I find that more interesting than people lashing out at others for responding with logic rather than emotional outrage.

Seriously. And if this is the writing talent she thought should get her a job writing for Politico, she's as delusional as he is if he thinks anyone is buying his lame excuses as to why he's "chosen" to leave politics.
