This stuff reminds me of the Catholic Church. There are the rapists, and then there are the people who shuffle around the rapists. The rapists are rarely punished, and the shufflers are never punished. We should be going after all of them. Every murderer, and everyone who moves and rehires a murderer, should be…

Why are they marketing as if for rivers and oceans when it’s obviously only for ponds?  That’s still a thing.  Maybe someone out there owns a summer lakehouse, and they could keep this around for some adventurous guests.  

No, the onus is still on us. We shouldn’t be saying, “Efficient technology doesn’t exist yet, so I guess I’ll fly cross-country and back each week.” It’s up to us to change our habits.

Stop giving Iowans that excuse. The district is not “heavily gerrymandered.” It’s not a trick or a scheme. All of the nation’s heavy gerrymandering happens outside of Iowa, and Iowa’s map mostly follows county boundaries and the wishes of the electorate.

This reminds me of Beyonce singing about her chinchilla furs during the recession.  I’m just really over people bragging about their excessive wealth.  The two of them have passed into just being tacky.  (I still listen to Beyonce regularly, though, because how can I not.)

...and it wasn’t just an expression of hatred. There are two explicit suggestions that gay people should be attacked in order to keep them out of the sport. The sport is inherently hazardous, so this is a call for violence.

No.  Fuck off.  Gay people should not have to come out at the workplace in order to avoid being murdered by their coworkers.  The bigots should just be fired before that even becomes a possibility.

Unmarried men are supposed to impregnate their dead brother’s widow, obviously.  And at least a few of their slaves.

The arms I believe, so I’m really really hoping about the d.

Buying Greenland is maybe the only independent thought he has had in years. Eagle-eyed pundits have proven countless times that the guy parrots whatever was on Fox News during the previous hour. Everything he mentions is just stuff that was just said by someone else. How can he lack the self-awareness to see that he’s…

“I know more about X than anyone in the world,” says the stupidest president in the entire country’s history.

...sentient?

A bearded young man with tan skin who can’t speak English?  Texans would murder him like immediately.

Everyone but her is named.  We even get the name of a random waitress, but not the name of the caller.  WTF.

Yes, I wonder about their daily schedules too. How did they have four spare officers to investigate this silly call? And it’s not even over yet because now they’re going to dedicate more staff to investigating themselves!

What do Greeks call Armenians?  They were murdered in the same genocide.  I sense more affinity and solidarity than hatred.  

We shouldn’t be rating words on any scale. The writers here at Jezebel publish pieces where they call gay men “faggots,” and no one has ever addressed it or apologized. It’s not a worse word, and my writing it here won’t be automatically rejected, but why the fuck are straight women bloggers still using this word as a…

The original phrasing is fine.  She begins by listing the two largest cities in the country, both of which lie on coasts.  She contrasts them with a state in the middle.  You’re trying to be condescending, but you just sound foolish and tired.

She has an open yard with multiple bird feeders, and the hogs are calmly eating the surplus bird seed. The media calls this behavior all-caps “RUNNING.”

A traffic ticket is a civil offense, so it is generally considered less severe than any criminal offense like a misdemeanor.
