You know, even if parents do agree to let their children be tested and/or receive services, that is no guarantee those services will be good. My adult son was in SPED from 3rd grade until he graduated and it was a real hit or miss situation. It’s a constant fight and often parent’s don’t even know what it is they…

Or Joe Lieberman. Have a tissue.

Except that Medicare For All is, in reality, being used as a catch-all, place-holder term that polls well - until respondents learn what single-payer actually means and what their taxes would look like. It’s synonymous now with universal healthcare. So most of the politicians invoking it at the moment don’t seriously…

“In” where, exactly? Maybe you just need better boundaries.

It’s strangely satisfying to see Paul Blest get the take down he so richly deserves. And he does deserve it richly. Why does he have this platform? A question forever in search of an answer.

Jesus. I live 2 hours from DC in West Virginia and I don’t even think my Cracker neighbors (and I mean neighbor metaphorically, not literally, in the improbable case any of them read this) would demonstrate their ignorance so brazenly in that situation.

You were extra vulnerable due to having just given away a lot of shit. NEVER go shopping when you have recently experienced a “shit I bought but didn’t really need” vacuum.

And Ms. Gray repeated the technically correct but fundamentally dishonest clain that Bernie won all 55 counties in WV.

Apparently she was/is working on her 5th degree. She holds a law degree and is reportedly a member of the NY Bar Assoc. which makes it even stranger that she’s living in a dorm. Something is wrong there that she hasn’t been able to establish herself in any of the other fields in which she holds degrees. Also, have to…

Neoliberal is at least 100 years old. Trust me, when it was coined what Libby Watson used it to describe did not even exist. The meaning has morphed back and forth over the past century. The current popular usage is not concordant with past definitions. Even academics in the corresponding fields, such as economics and…

It’s getting harder and harder not to fall into despair.

There are special diapers made specifically to be worn in pools. Huggies has some and so does Pampers. So I think it must be more common than you think or they wouldn’t exist.

Poor guy is just economically anxious. Or so they say.

Or did you think the Clinton’s were around 100 years ago?

To what topic or buzzword are you referring, Kitten? NeoLiberal (100 year old term)? Trolling? Ambien? GHB? Dying to make heads or tales out of that all-you-can-eat word salad buffet.

Uh, ask any one in the fields of economics or political science and they will tell you otherwise. The term is 100 years old and it’s meaning and usuage changes all the time. Bet you didn’t know that.

Here in Wonderbread West Virginia, the drug addicts are all white, and so are the dealers. I think that’s how it is in rural areas throughout the country.
They leave their needles lying all over the place, and pass out/die with their kids in the back seat of their car. They even act entitled in their anti-social,…

How easy it would have been for him to tweet ”As mayor of Pittsburgh, I’m sure I speak for all our citizens in offering our love and support to the people of our neighboring city, East Pittsburgh, at this difficult time.” Boom! Expresses sympathy and “we’re not in it” with at least a modicum of grace.

Anybody who is still seriously using exhausted, threadbare terminology like “Neo-Liberal”, for which no definitive definition even exists in any remotely related field, is a hack who should get a job at some weak, low-standard site like Splinter. Oh, I guess you already did that.

Sorry. There is a lot to say about the…

I’m a fan, in fact, a big fan of your sharp and ordinarily original, stylish, and epigrammatic expression. But if you are going to keep pounding the redundancy lever by overusing an arbitrarily chosen name to convey caucasiosity, especially a name whose use has misogynistic connotations on top of the overtly crackerist…
