Three gay-teen suicides in the last four weeks. Absolute and deadly manifestations of all the anti-gay legislation running rampant. Terribly sad.
This has been sitting in my drafts folder for a day because I can’t really figure out any kind of coherent response. It’s just so heartbreaking and infuriating, and it is terrible that I’m so unsurprised by how cruel people can...

Shouldn’t taxpayers get a receipt?
Ezra Klein reviews this Third Way proposal, which I think has a lot of merit:
For many Americans, the amount they pay in taxes is larger than any purchase they make during the year, but studies show they know almost nothing about where that money goes to…
We suggest that everyone who files a tax return receive a “taxpayer receipt.” This...
thatpassed-away asked: No relationship other than that Fortuyn's loudness about anti-immigration stuff made it easier for other people to speak up. They both founded their own parties and they both had major election victories (Fortuyn after he was murdered), mainly because of their populism. What they were saying spoke to a lot of people, never mind that it's not achievable.
Anyway, the story goes that...

Google supplies weekly reports on what people search for and keeps track of which areas those requests are made from. Using this data, the researchers looked up the popularity of pornography searches in “red” and “blue” states — those voting for Republicans and Democrats, respectively — in the week before and the week after the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections and the 2006...

Matt Tiabbi's cliche' of a hit piece on the Tea... →
Taibbi blasts away at the Tea Partiers as stupid evil people manipulated by smart evil people — as a bunch of crazy redneck idjits created by Ron Paul, who then got co-opted by even more despicable corporate interests. His narrative is that the “Tea Party’s political outrage is being appropriated, with thanks, by the Goldmans and BPs of the world,” and the subtitle of his piece is “How corporate...

bourbonismycopilot asked: If you were featured on an episode of Glee, what would you sing and wear?
pockyplanet asked: Glee..? Dear lord, my perception of you has changed... haha.
I think that you should tell me reasons why everyone thinks glee is so amazing.
I love musicals, Disney movies and moulin rouge are on constantly in my house, but glee.. Glee is just not happening for me.
Please convince me.

Wow, that 49% drop is extreme, no wonder our incumbency rate is so high.
I don’t think lobbyist revenue has anything to do with this. a lobbyist is a lobbyist for two reasons, 1. they know lawmakers and 2. they are an expert on the issue as it pertains to regulation, history and the...

Rich people dragged down by their rich-ness. Fucking love it.

dildos?
straight ladies, if you were being seduced, would you want a bunch of dildos lying around everywhere? I can hardly suppress my giggles when I see dildos.
also lube. I didn’t think most women used lube.. unless it was for O’keefe. and then the dildos would be for him to.
Someone find out of O’keefe returned Project Veritas’ dildo and lube purchases.

Douche chill.
There are too many amazing parts of this to pick just one. Basically, the “pimp” from the ACORN videos tried to embarrass a female CNN reporter doing a story about him by luring her onto a boat outfitted with like party-store sexy-sex items and hitting on her, though it’s unclear how this would embarrass her, exactly. Do read.
James O'Keefe shopping list
As usual, the Huffpo has the good stuff.
Equipment needed
a. Video
1. hidden cams on the boat
2. tripod and overt recorder near the bed, an obvious sex tape machine
b. Props
1. condom jar
2. dildos
3. Music
a. Alicia keys
b. 80s romance songs, things that are typically James
c. avoid Marvin Gaye as too cliche
4. lube
5. ceiling mirror
6. posters and paintings of naked women
7....

Finally, “if they go on the attack, you should point out the hypocrisy in CNN using the inherent sexuality of these women to sell viewers and for ratings, passing up more esteemed and respectable journalists who aren’t bubble-headed bleach blondes and keep the focus on CNN.”
