Leave these sad people alone

kellemonster says: To be honest, I think we should feel bad for watching just about every reality show out there. Whenever anyone is willing to let themselves be exploited I don't think we should participate in that exploitation.

Agree 100%. With little exception, there is NO value to the viewer in watching this exploitative dreck. Let these damaged folks rehab in peace.

WTF?!?

Do these idiots not realize that a significant number of fertilized eggs do not implant and are expelled? Are they talking too - on their way out?

Circular file

Cerritos College?? Never heard of it - that's one of the Top 50? I can't imagine any student who is not already a religious wingnut even bothering to read the intro to the book.

What about enforcement of the new law?

Other than obviously banning all abortions and contraceptives, how will they enforce the law protecting all of the FertilizedEggPersons?

Given that a significant portion of fertilized eggs are spontaneously dispelled prior to implantation, are they going to set up some mechanism for all sexually active, fertile women to collect and report all discharges from her hoohah?

I assume there's a big outsourcing contract for HalliburtonBlackwaterKBR in there somewhere?

Original article: In defense of ACORN

Do as I say, not as I do

This situation is just the 21st century version of Reagan's Cadillac-driving welfare queen. God forbid an organization helping regular people (including some poor, brown folks) access their government's services screws up - meanwhile HalliburtonBlackwaterKBR continue to get $billions in federal contracts despite massive incompetence and illegal behavior (ya know, like raping/killing people).

Keep up with the story

The young secretaries don't see Peggy as a professional or romantic rival in the office. Rather, they're more concerned that she doesn't have enough "juice" and working for her won't advance either their secretarial careers or get them a husband.

Almost true

Actually, the new government sponsored healthcare plan will consist of two plans, based on voter ID:

Democrat - free preventative medicine, free prescriptions, no out-of-pocket for surgeries, no lifetime limits, free cosmetic dentistry, Lasik, hair transplants, weekly mani-pedi, annual spa treatments

GOP - Prayer.

Original article: Jenny Sanford strikes back

It's not our business

The inner workings on the Sanfords' or anyone else's marriage is our business. Neither serves as a role model for anyone and despite this "exclusive" interview, only the parties directly involved know what is going on.

The people of South Carolina should be paying attention to Sanford's misuse of taxpayer funds and dereliction of duty as governor, not worrying about whether Mrs. Sanford is the new role model for wronged spouses.

Not buying it

Does anyone believe that Palin is actually writing these (moderately) coherent posts? I don't think so - probably Willow or Piper or Truck or Twig got ahold of her Blackberry.

Give the Vendor a second chance

It might be malware, it might be someone else accessing his/her computer.

My suggestion - send a reply (without the image attached) indicating that you must have received this by mistake and that they need to check the content before emailing you in the future as your company has a policy against employees having this kind of content on their computers.

I never give friends/relatives my work email for this very reason - I don't want to receive anything that might be questionable or NSFW.

Original article: "The Ugly Truth"

Oh, hell no!

micros ms. says: Hell, and after all of that we are rewarded with a kiss... a kiss! No skin?

They've got to be kidding! An R rating and no hot sexy? The only possible reason I would have gone to this dreckfest was to see Butler's hot bod. No thanks!

If we had a time machine

could we go back in time and pay Rep Tiahrt's mother to abort him? Or could we just collect money via the Intertubes and pay some thugs to take him out?

America's new Top Chef?

Maybe Justice Sotomayor and Justice Ginsberg can trade recipes? I'm looking forward to the gals new cookbook. I prefer to eat them with fava beans and a nice chianti.

NJ don't like no wingnuts

While incumbent Gov Jon Corzine is hurting, NJ voters are just now finding out that GOP candidate Christie is anti-choice, would have turned down economic stimulus - moves that aren't too popular with NJ's generally moderate-left voting public.

Bringing a certified wingnut like Palin in to stump for the GOP will probably backfire.

Yup! This is just a ploy to boost ratings

TV ratings for the Oscars have been swirling down the toilet, especially when many of the films/performances nominated only played in NYC or LA.

Think of all of the fans who will tune in when "Transformers 8:Revenge of the Roombas" faces off against "EuroAsianArtfilm" for the big one!

Working on 20%

but at the same time they want to show activists, donors and voters on the right that they did something to oppose her.

Have fun alienating Latinos, any other "minorities", women, rational thinking men, etc. while locking up the racist, sexist idiot demographic.

Original article: How to talk about abortion

Wrong again

What's illegal is being unsuccessful.

Suicide, whether successful or unsuccessful is not a criminal act in the US.

Original article: How to talk about abortion

Incorrect

And laws against committing suicide.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not illegal to commit suicide.

@ Mike Zimbouski

Now he'll go on to face current Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, in the general election, which will be held later this year.

New Jersey governor, Lt Gov, State Assembly and a bunch of County offices will be decided in November.

This is a bunch of crap

It's easy to "downshift" your career when you've already reached a significant level of success and you have a high-earning husband to fall back on.

Original article: Pink boxer brigade

Battle ready

If I was a terrist, I'd be scared of those boxers! And doesn't everyone where flipflops just about everywhere today?
