As a woman who dated men significantly older than me when I was in my teens and 20s, I regret it immensely. These were guys whose horrid behavior I would never have put up with by the time I got to be 30. As far as I can tell, it IS all about finding someone with lesser social power who won’t push back the way a peer…

And you are here for what reason, exactly?

Interesting that you chose to read this as somehow a diss of the women, when I think it is incredibly obvious that the distaste is all for Leo.

My guess is that they pretty much hire out the raising of the younger set of kids, with occasional photoshoots in which they look like involved parents.

Their “simplistic” solution sounds a lot better than your nebulous “encourage men to be their best selves” approach to me. Perhaps this would be more relevant if someone had asked for dating advice.

So many of the pro-birthers claim to be Christian, which would involve following the path of someone who was nonjudgmental and helped everyone he could just because it was a good thing to do. That is why I ask pro-birthers what volunteer work they are doing -- virtually all of them are unlike the Christ they claim to…

Nah, it has been a pretty Big Thing in Minneapolis since forever.

Didn’t have to think about that for a minute. It’s a famous quote from Yogi Berra, who was known for funny and often nonsensical sayings.

Any data on that? I mean, I guess it’s theoretically possible, but there is still the problem of our oceans being dangerously overfished and of causing suffering to living creatures that doesn’t need to happen.  I see a lot of this sort of “wondering” from people who know subconsciously that they’d be doing the world…

I didn’t become vegan 20 years ago because I didn’t like the taste of animals. I did it because I didn’t like causing unnecessary suffering to other creatures and the environmental degradation that goes with it. I also didn’t do it for my health, though it probably has benefitted my health quite a bit. So I don’t mind…

Which campaign manager? Can’t keep track.

While we’re talking about appropriation of identities... About 30 years ago, I dated a guy for a few months. He was physically perfectly standard for a guy. About 5 years later, he started living as a woman. About 10 years ago, I saw that she had formed a support group and was a spokeswoman for intersex people and…

Worked for a PP affiliate a while back. Was just out of college & wanted to do something useful. Exec director got to keep the job as long as she wanted to because her husband donated more than her salary every year. Many of the jobs turned over 3-4 times in a year because several of the (white female) leaders were so…

Who would possibly want to read this? I found Keillor’s Prairie Home monologues pretty amusing, and even I would not read this book if I found it on the sidewalk. I guess being an old rich white guy makes one think his life is a story that others want to hear?

If I were the defense lawyer, I would: a) refuse to settle; and b) request a jury trial. Because I can’t imagine any red-blooded NYC jury awarding this *ahem* socialite enough money to catch a cab.

Why not just “leave?” What we do with it could be our own business.

The height thing is not completely acceptable among decent women. When I hear that from a woman, I call her out on it.

“Monday blues?...she heads to work in a chic cream outfit and statement earnings.” Is that like an earnings statement?

FYI: It is possible for an indicted person to waive the right to a speedy trial. I can’t say that Trump would necessarily be smart enough to do that if he were offered the opportunity, though.

In fact, I can think of MILLIONS of completely INNOCENT people who lost everything in a single day -- victims of hurricanes, floods & other natural disasters, victims of school shootings and their families, victims of terrorism, just to name a few I thought of right away. MacDonald must not be very bright if he…
