    Yeah, but only vegan CrossFit anti-vacciners wear them, so who cares?

    I regret ever supporting Hilary Clinton for anything. Yes she's done good things but she (and Bill) fail to own up to their failings and that's unacceptable.

    Hillary Clinton Says Bill Clinton's Affair With Monica Lewinsky Was Not An Abuse Of Power | HuffPost

    Hey, how about thinking about whether she's okay with Chelsea (at 22) giving her (significantly older) boss a BJ under the table?

    Hilary, I have some advice for you, leave us alone.

    I'm disgusted with party line thinking; we as Americans need to start looking for people who will bring us together, whatever their declared political party affiliation. Is Huntsman or Romney a better candidate than Hilary or Bernie or Warren? If so, I'm voting for them.

    Why should Hillary or Melania, who both have been asked, answer any questions about their husband's infidelities? Shouldn't Bill and Don get these questions? Actually, why Clinton doesn't answer every question with "fuck right off now" mystifies me.

    He admits Obama isn’t Kenyan right now, but also believes he may “change back.”

    I would rather live alone in an iron box set out in the sun than have her in my life.

    I'm glad she finally took the test & released the info, but I doubt it'll change that many minds, even among people who don't necessarily think she did anything wrong. The test results suggest that she's at most 1/32nd Native American, possibly less. It's fine for her to value that ancestry and to talk about it (in context), but for Harvard to cite her 3% as an example of its diversity looks ridiculous. It fits in with a belief by many people, not just Trumpists, that the diversity game is at least partly a way for those with power to help those they want to help, regardless of the merits. If a white male professor with 5% African American ancestry and the wrong political views decided as an adult to identify himself as African American, would Harvard give his claim the time of day? Or if a white student with 5% African American ancestry applied for admission as an African American?

    This is a sensitive subject for me, because my wife is from South America, and our high school sophomore son will get a big boost on his college applications by identifying as Hispanic. If I think about it, I can come up with a couple of ways being half Hispanic has disadvantaged him (mostly in not learning English as well or as quickly b/c my wife's not a native speaker and we lived overseas until he was 10), but it still makes me uncomfortable.

    Boston Globe did a long story definitively showing that Warren's ancestry or lack of same played ZERO role in her acceptance to Harvard Law. Those who say otherwise are the usual suspects, professional Republican liars, the dupes who believe them, and the white men who believe anyone not white nor male can have earned anything better than what they themselves have gotten from life.

    Eh. We've found a happy medium in jeans. We're not wearing the hideous parachutes we were wearing in the 1990s but we're no longer hugging our nuts to within an millimeter of deprivation, either. I like where the jeans trends have gone. I hope they stay here for a long time.

    I like slim suits. I'm getting too fat for a slim suit in my mid-30's, but I've always preferred them.

    I'd be shocked if Amy Schumer's people haven't already snapped up the rights to "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Once He Gets Into His Own Building?"

    The Act 1 meet-cute happens when she tries to keep her new neighbor from stepping onto the elevator.

    Perhaps because she never was accepted into Harvard Law, at least not as a student. Her law degree came from Rutgers.

    According to the Michael Wolff book, Fucko still believes Obama was not born an American citizen.
