This fucking shoe.

I totally agree — and while the "Footsie roll" (really? really?) is either A. totally unfeasible or B. something you're already doing because you're a foot fetishist — the idea of incorporating the condom into sex play is a really good idea and helps eliminate the "it slows things down and breaks the mood" argument…

The only reason we have to see so much of this half-brained schmuck recently is because RedState's other cofounder, Josh Treviño, lied his little red ass off to Politico about his role in a pay-for-play deal where conservative pundits wrote positive articles about Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim. Conservative principles!

I'll take all the dick pics in the world if it means I never have to see another guy trying to take an awkward, spread-eagled shot of his b-hole in what is obviously an EconoLodge bathroom.

I wonder if circumcision is covered under most national health care programs? It was my understanding that only the US and Israel do it with any real frequency, so I'd be curious if European or Asian countries subsidize the procedure through their national healthcare.

Why do you assume it's "instead of?" Prisoners are allowed psychiatric counseling. Outside of incarceration, his family has enabled his illness and has not made any effort to get him the help he needs, even when the victim of his crimes attempted to reach out to them and get the stalker some mental health services.

We're hitting the hard edge of my bitterness tolerance, here :) I tried fernet branca once... also in Chicago, as it happens! It was intense. My hot weather go-to is Pernod and water if it's really hot — or the Greg Proops (1 oz vodka w/ 1 oz strained vodka over ice) if it's just kinda hot and I want to bitch about…

Bourbon lover solidarity! My go-to gin drink is a Gin Buck with the driest possible Ginger beer. I want that Ginger beer to have just crossed the Sahara on a camel's back in nothing but a pair of mesh shorts and flip flops. I want that ginger beer to be platinum-bleached blonde hair in February. I want dry. Same…

I made a similar comment elsewhere — I want to see this clump of human excreta put in front of as many microphones as possible. Let's get him a national leadership position in the GOP — RNC chair-dingus, perhaps? He can have Steve King come in and "punch up" his speeches before he gives them.

As a diehard liberal, I believe we all need to band together and get Louie Gohmert elevated to some position in the GOP leadership that gives him much more visibility. RNC chairperson, maybe? He and Steve King are like a gift; the assholes that never stop shitting.

Brown-liquor-and-bitters high five! The only time I've ever actually gone Bartender's Choice as at Longman and Eagle in Chicago and I was treated to a perfectly delightful Manhattan with bourbon rather than rye.

Right!? Keep your 6 tbsp of Splenda, Dannon — gimme that milkfat! I'm the same way — I buy a big ol' tub of whole milk yogurt and a jar of Hero all-fruit preserves and am set for weeks.

Her voice is fantastic and I love her style. I think she also has really uneven songwriting — I'll listen to Born to Die, Blue Jeans and Young & Beautiful and just get lost in the sound, but then something like the track linked or National Anthem comes along and the lyrics are just cringeworthy. But that's fine! …

I've never understood why beer is considered the "man's choice." Scotch and bourbon have always seemed much more appropriate — but most of the people I know these days who can appreciate a good whiskey are women. I guess it's a class thing to a large extent.

I think you're exactly right. This is also why the local supermarket has 5,001 brands of vanilla non-fat yogurt but ZERO whole milk / partial fat yogurts.

Right? But Melissa Harris-Perry got a show, so we should just shut up and gratefully watch her fellate the military-surveillance complex.

This very much jibes with my experience working with the elderly for many years. Even my own grandmother, who is politically, personally and religiously conservative, self-identifies as having become much more liberal in her old age. Not only in her political understanding, but in her personal life — she is much…

Bless her! Depression-era folks often have some impressive stories, especially the women. I worked for many, many years in senior care and it was honestly transformative. One of the most engaging things I did there (and really, most engaging things I've done career-wise) was lead weekly Current Events discussions.…

First things first, a great deal of the potential discrimination or disenfranchisement gay cis men possibly face due to their orientation is frequently ameliorated by their cis-male status. In my personal case, I'm also white and middle-class/college-educated, so honestly I've personally seen very little professional…

I kind of made the same point you did about "sissy-boys" in a separate comment. I think privilege of all stripes is provisional on a set of assumptions that you're going to conform to a pretty complex checklist of behaviors. The most privileged categories are also going to have the widest borders, so the acceptable r…
