Something something “social contract” something something.

Louie is enormously talented. Which is why his “aw, shucks. I’m just an ordinary slob so what-do-I-know” fence-sitting routine is wearing fucking thin. It’s totally out of touch with reality.

Somebody says that about every single protest. Besides. That’s now how protests work.

Protesting the scandal and keeping it in the public consciousness is addressing the illegality of the actors involved.

Yes. there is plenty to protest about. For instance: Why aren’t the executives involved in fucking jail. They committed out-right fraud.

I would be applauding Rock but then Rock’s very first joke was a steaming shit on the Oscar Boycott. He basically called all the boycotters “unemployed” bums. Seems to me he wanted his cake and to eat it too. It’s one thing to say you wanted to be there to tell the truth. But shitting on the people who stood by…

Our border collie is 17. SEVENTEEN.

The lesson is stop White Knighting people until you yourself have talked to them about how they feel about what ever has you outraged. In this case Maddox says she was not raped. Case closed.

Libertarians (and their Anarchist equivalents on the left) are the Trekies of politics. They believe in a total fantasy to the point of fetishizing.

Fun Fact: in 1996 Gloria Steinem went to Burlington, VT to endorse Bernie Sanders. And, hold on to your hats, Sanders was then running against a woman, Susan Sweetser. Steinem then declared Sanders an “honorary woman.”

You know how many times this argument was applied to Hillary in 2008?

True. But we shouldn’t get an automatic pass. She can still be shown she has a made dumb mistake and be given an opportunity to correct it. Being old isn't an excuse to stop learning from our mistakes. I'm 52. I make mistakes every day.

Whole lotta trolls replying to me. Sorry. Make up straw man bullshit and get dismissed.

Being a writer and critic that deals in words and their power she knew what she was saying. It was colossally stupid.

Oh. That whole thing where she said Beyoncé was a terrorist.

As much as I respect her Steinem has become rather embarrassing as she’s gotten older. Like Bell Hooks, she occasionally comes out with one of those ill thought out fuddy-duddy grandma-isms that make you roll your eyes and want to take the remote away from them.

This is an accepted conventional wisdom that I’m not so sure is true any longer.

Um. I hate to break it to you but women generally don't keep dick picks from pervs. From old boyfriends they have send to bone, maybe.

Wait a minute. Bill Maher may’ve been crass (as usual) but he is not exactly wrong.

Nothing worthwhile is easy. It’s never easy standing up for your rights. But you either do it or end up impoverished under the boot of someone else.
