he describes himself as a detached and hyper-logical champion of human rights

Yeah for real. Sorry, sometimes my troll-picker is way off.

I think we can all agree that this is an instance where dealing with the guy with extreme force was perfectly justified. I’m guessing ‘road rage.

I had a pair of docs that were, I shit you not, 20 eye black patent leather, which I wore with purple ribbon laces. I never saw anyone else with patent leather docs, and they were the coolest thing I ever owned. People would stop and ask me about them constantly, or even beg to trade me random stuff for them. I wore…

Did you wear them with Doc Martens like I did?

Actual Owen Labrie picture below. Not a pic of a palatable tv nerd.

The problem with the death penalty isn’t the people who deserve it. It’s the people who don’t.

As a general rule, if it’s Camille Paglia doing it, then it’s 100% being done wrong (and probably very, very shitty, too).

“hate-right?”

Was it “Keepin’ it 1600"? I listened to this as well but cannot imagine Dems being so frustrated with “insider politicians” that they would nominate a rap artist* into office. Although, he’s probably still more progressive than most of the GOP so....

Oh come the fuck on. This woman is not being deemed a Jackie because “all rape accusations are fake,” she’s being deemed a Jackie because this history of this case (as Anna Merlan outlined clearly earlier this year) is shady as fuck. If this woman were to come out tomorrow, even under a pseudonym, and talked to a…

People are honestly the worst. Did you get sick? Of course you did.

Everyone should watch ‘The Choice’. Although it kind of made me hate Bill Clinton.

Just... No. I’m not a huge fan of Hillary, but Gary Johnson is not even close to being qualified at all, let alone more qualified than she is. This is so objectively false that I’m not even going to list reasons. It would be like arguing with someone about why we can’t just force Mexico to pay for a wall on the border.

Agreed. Dan Savage actually has a pretty good take on third party candidates. They need to actually do stuff, and they need to start small. If you want the presidency one day, start with your local dog-catcher and utilities and school boards and work your way up, but you CAN NOT just start with running for…

Yeah. I hope Lumumba watches or at least hears about how that came about because I’ve heard that he’s still very angry (understandable) and thinks that Knox is a terrible person for implicating him. I don’t necessarily think he owes her an apology, but I would hope that it would help him understand her a little more…

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the purity test. Of all the ways we liberals shoot ourselves in the foot, this one is my absolute favorite.

I read all the labels, and eschew audio tours. I love museums, but on my terms.

Even if he was an affirmative action admission all it would prove is that affirmative action kicks ass and is worth the investment, because we got Barack Freaking Obama out of it.

I am pretty much crying over losing the Obamas at the drop of a hat. Signed, Sealed, Delivered breaks me now. Best president and best first family, certainly in my lifetime.
