motherfuckingjexi:
Jeb Bush is talking about the failed education system. He needs to stop blaming across the aisle and look inside his family.
Indeed.
Off the top of my head, I recall his wife and daughter have been arrested (for smuggling and drugs/fraud, respectively), and wasn’t his son arrested for trying to break into an ex-girlfriend’s house?
Sounds like he did a bangup...

blogvader:
Have we forgotten her prominent role in inciting a war that killed thousands of Americans needlessly, and upwards of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis? (And we’ve since learned that we knowingly fired on civilians, thanks to Wikileaks.) What about her decision to go see Spamelot and buy shoes in New York City as Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans? It’s also...

I got into a discussion with someone last night...
One of my buddies (a Mormon) compared the biological need for sexual release (and the various ways we fulfill it) to alcoholism, which just really, really bugs me. Sex is not a disease or an addiction, and seeing how completely our education system has failed religious people of late makes me want to bang my head against a wall.
I find it even more annoying having spent nineteen years as a member...

'Mewling quim'
I wasn’t sure the phrase’s definition, so I looked it up and mewling means ‘to cry feebly’ and quim means ‘female genitals’.
So Loki called Black Widow a crying pussy.
And, I have to say, that’s probably the most artful way I’ve ever seen such an insult delivered.

Ah, I see. They can quote MLK, just under circumstances you deem acceptable. That makes sense.

If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:26
I think such verses as this are pretty absurd too, especially given the fact that so many species (including human beings) have innate parental instincts so strong that that they’d lead us to die...

The answer is it doesn’t; so stop spamming this propaganda. Tod Akin is an imbecile but he is one imbecile, not an entire religion. For a group of people who seem to value that they are of higher intelligence than everyone else you really do seem like a bunch of imbeciles.
The problem isn’t Todd Akin’s ignorance of basic biology (well, not the whole problem)...

Yes, and you know what else had a heartbeat? Terri Schiavo, but I wouldn’t argue that she was alive. (And I’d laugh in the face of anyone who would.)
Pro-life folks have difficulty understanding the difference between animated tissue and living things.

Republicans tried to cut funding for the National Weather Service and FEMA in 2011.
But, suddenly they care about hurricanes when said hurricanes interrupt their travel plans and their cocktail parties. (And give them an issue that allows them to appear stoic and brave on the campaign trail.)

Male privilege is not getting bullied constantly by your older brother as a child, but being told to ignore it. Male privilege is not always being told by your mother, “He thinks your cute,” to make you feel better when your brother purposely made you cry and laughed about it. Male privilege is not have your mother join in.
Male privilege is “Boys will be boys.”
Right.

I caught a snippet of Fox News during my treadmill...
Predictably, a couple of Republicans were being interviewed and between the pair, they mentioned jobs and/or the economy nine times.
I seem to recall them emphasizing jobs back in 2010, when everyone believed them. What did we get? Thirty-three pointless votes to repeal Obamacare (and numerous bills to defund sections of it), sixty bills to name post offices, resolutions endorsing prayer at...

Feel free to judge me.
I listen to shit that puts me in a good mood, and don’t really give a crap how original, ‘authentic’, or derivative it is. I just enjoy it because it puts me in a better mindset.
(And I’m pretty sure most people who criticize pop music have rocked out to ‘Single Ladies’ at least once in their life.)

Male privilege is what occurred this morning, when my step dad revealed he was planning on voting for Mitt Romney and I said “but he’s going to try and get rid of planned parenthood!” and his reply: “honey, that’s small stuff”. Male privilege is being able to refer to the things affecting women as “small stuff”.
I’d love to be able to rebut this, but I’ve been...

That is, if every Christian in this country cared more about adhering to the core concepts of Christ’s teachings (unconditional love and forgiveness) rather than religious dick-measuring contests, demonizing the poor and those they perceive to be sinners, and fighting over whose Jesus is best.
Think about it. If all of these religious teabaggers were out there fighting for universal health...

That’s how I feel after making it through the first area (Boletarian Palace 1.1) and killing the Phalanx.

I want to laugh at this. But I don’t. But I do. Because it’s clever. But I don’t. I’M CONFLICTED.
Thanks for the compliment.
I just think the folks who are following that logic need to articulate their argument a bit, because...

I didn’t see anyone holding a gun to his head and forcing him to read a script, and I don’t think anyone forced him to consume the moronic ramblings of a hack ‘doctor’ who’s opinions on rape are discredited by basic, grammar school biology.
It’s actually a little refreshing to see someone being publicly flogged and forced to apologize not for a sexual...

You are a grown man.
Here’s some facts someone should’ve told you before your nudes leaked: “People these days have cell phones with alarmingly clear picture taking capabilities…”

Honestly, if I were a prince, my life would be way more scandalous than Harry’s. I’d be crazier...

Thank you all for the ongoing fearmongering and your insistence on the moral imperative here.

However, for every major candidate’s position that I support, it seems that they have one that I equally oppose. This puts me in a difficult position as a voter, because I can’t feel good about voting for someone who supports the war on terror (and all of its associated abuses),...

I’m not sure what fit of masochistic madness seized upon me when I decided to buy this game, but surprisingly, the game is actually a lot of fun. (Even if it is the cheapest, most punishing game I’ve played since the 80’s.)
And, to the devs of Demon’s Souls, I just have to ask: No pause function? Really?

You share physical characteristics with the people who oppressed my ancestors, and therefore, are equally guilty for their crimes. At least I can content myself in the fact that few people outside of Tumblr have a literal belief in this nonsense.

Right, because everyone you talk to is a mind reader, and is going to intuitively understand your point of view on every issue. (Even though the baseless crap you believe is effectively nonexistent outside of Tumblr.)

Keeping Score on Todd Akin
One has to wonder that, with each new day, what outrageous statement Todd Akin is going to make?
Supported the House Republicans’ attempt to force a national default on our bills, which would have invariably harmed the national economy. (Akin assures us he supports small businesses though.)
Opposes federal funding for the school lunch program. (Even though in Missouri, 22% of kids are food...
