“Cousin marriage is far more common among people from some parts of the world, making our unwarranted prejudice against the practice a form of xenophobia”

I am against the death penalty myself, but if someone believes in it I’m not sure why 14 hours is somehow worse than deciding to do it in 24 hours or 36 hours.

“So are we just ignoring the facts that Bernie Sanders announced the same thing earlier in the week and now Hillary announces it and she’s getting all the attention? She is literally coopting Bernie’s platform as her own.”

Ahhhh! This is so weird, I was just telling someone last week that I really wanted the house from 2010 because of the indoor canal with the dolphins!!!!

“Considering the massive amount of power college profs have (in a lot of ways more than primary and secondary teachers) I’m pretty uncomfortable with this.”

28 ounces of cod a day? Mmmmm, mercury.

It is entirely possible that she is convinced there was something in her drink and disbelieves the toxicology reports.
