Mine, too. I was explaining about voting rights to them after watching Mary Poppins and they looked at me liked I was lying.

"Semple was a celebrity in Boston’s tightknit sports circles: he was a physical trainer who massaged and tweaked the muscles and limbs of Celtics and Bruins players... Cope noted that Semple was “one of the nation’s few remaining great masseurs, an expert practitioner of the dying art of hand manipulation.” "

You are an idiot. Your reading comprehension sucks dicks. Troll. People home school and believe in charters because public schools are full of entitled dickheads allowed to grow without any actual parental upbringing. Let the teevee and the teachers raise the kids. POS

You’re one of those parents of the year, aren’t you?

Really? That’s what your take on this is? This behavior is all due to public schools? Riiight.

part of the reason this bullshit continues to fly is people like you want to dictate how a victim of abuse should act. you literally want to put words in her mouth so that you can feel comfortable about her choices, and, failing that, you’re all too ready to assign complicity to her for violence wrought against her.…

Could be another example of Megyn Kelly caring about issues that directly affect Megyn Kelly....

Holy shit. “Did you get overly emotional?” gave me shivers. FoxNews is ALWAYS on in front of the good treadmills at my gym and I inadvertently absorb so much of its awfulness. It’s nice to see someone be Not Awful.

Don't worry, black people are just as scared of black cops as white cops, because it's institutional to the profession. Even popular fiction like The Wire CLEARLY shows that. If you don't understand the problem is POLICE on black here, you don't really understand the issue.

Go kick rocks, bootlicker.

Looks like you need a history lesson.

If three different women accuse a man of rape, shouldn't the "where-there's-smoke,-there's-fire" alarm bell go off?
