ricotta. Stupid white cheese.

Argh. I went with the headline. I still think it would be a good thing to show interviews with Ferguson business owners, teachers, doctors and nurses, etc. Positive stuff to set against the crap the cops are giving out.

If white man crime and white domestic terrorism were acknowledged in this country people might have to do something about it, and we can't have that, can we. /sarcasm

Aaron Sorkin's characters as complex? Scratch any of his male characters in The Newsroom and you will find an angry man, some of whom can Get the Job Done, some of whom are Deep Thinkers; scratch any female and you will find a emo, daffy, verbose creature who yearns for a love life, has no love life, or is one step…

It might help to keep the focus on Ferguson if there were more articles on its citizens.

More and more domestic violence shelters are taking pets for just this reason.

Maury Povich. That hero of tabloid television, Maury Povich.

You are missing the point. The *point* is that, with a scant number of exceptions, no matter what source a man claims for the safety of his sperm, it is not worth the risk to the woman to believe him unless she sees the condom on his dick. (And even that has risks, but different ones.) Plenty of women have felt…

I was talking about the fact that plenty of men already lie about things that would make them safe to have sex with—having had mumps (makes them sterile) and having had vasectomies)—so why would we accept it if they told us they'd had this shot? You replied about better men; I said what I did; you said the number of…

94% of everything is shit. Does that make it right? Men don't get stuck with the consequences, do they?

I used to dress professionally on a plane. A few overheated, cut-circulation, crushed-on-arrival to overpriced-dry-cleaning hotels fixed that. Now I wear clean, loose (by which I mean BIG), worn casual clothing, and that includes IN FIRST CLASS (when I can get my publisher to spring). Davies is right. Jammed in…

I have one. Do you know how many lousy ones are out there?

Am I the only nasty, cynical person who asks, "And we're supposed to take guys' word for this?"

this isn't love. It's terror, violence, and manipulation.

You must be a guy. Do you know what "Just ignore him" gets you? It gets you "Hey, I was just tryin to be nice!" "Don't you know how to smile?" "Bitch, I'm talkin to you!" "Somebody ought to teach you some manners!" "Anybody tell you you're fat, too?" "Fuck you, you stupid c**t!" And, of course, there are the…

this is a powerful piece and one that carries the force of your anger as well as the need for all of us to remember what happened and keep demanding justice for people being murdered by cops run amok.

They have changed their stories so many times they should be writing for television.

for heaven's sake, I at least appreciate the difference between powerful, eye and ear catching rhetoric and punditry.

So much for the excuse "What's wrong with me wanting to tell a woman she's attractive? It's all harmless!" Now everybody knows what women know instinctively. It's not complimentary, it's trouble, and it could go bad in a flash.
