Only certain people can have it, but it's not discriminatory, guys. Really.

Using the word "tolerate" made me cringe a bit.

Didn't realize until tonight that Harper was Mormon thus making it a dumb question.
you just blew my mind.

but the thing that annoyed me about that original question was how it was a subtle demonstration of canadian smugness. it was like saying "hey, we're canada. here you can drink at 19. aren't we better than america?". fuck you, canada.
lol

@mattyglesias
Maybe Bernanke will say that since under his watch the Fed has missed its inflation & employment targets, he's resigning in disgrace.
bernanke fucking sucks.

so does this guy.

A thirteen point lead can't be right, I almost feel like they had to have made a mistake somewhere. But their methodology looks pretty legit. Maybe it had something to do with basing it on "likely voters" and not registered? I don't know- 13 just has to be too high.

There's no way. The RCP average has them deadlocked.

This story is a couple days old, but god damn is it funny.
Quote:
A New Jersey man was charged with creating false public alarms after making repeated 9-1-1 calls, claiming he was the president and demanding to speak to the Jets backup quarterback.

According to the New Jersey Herald, Hopatcong police said 28-year-old Jason Slater made three 9-1-1 calls on June 10, but refused to give dispatchers any information on why he was calling. Then he called headquarters with the Tebow request, and police went to his home to follow up.

There, they found him hiding in his mother’s closet under pillows.

Why is this even okay to propose? Never mind be taken seriously by an entire political party.

Hahaha that's great. I've learned to love Stephen A after hating him for a while.

I was listening to him and Rucco on espn radio yesterday and a caller tried to do his whole call with an impersonation of stephen a and he immediately hung up on him hah.

So what is the point of this conversation? Are we trying to imply that there is some sexist element to the fact that comedy, rock, and hip-hop are all male-dominated industries?

There isn't.

Sorry PC'ers, you will have to find something else to get outraged about.
Don't forget to add defense, business, finance, publishing, academia, manufacturing - really, name an industry, you will find it to be male-dominated.

See, you're too focused on being cast as an active participant in the sexist system - someone who is intentionally perpetuating this dominance. So were others. It's not about political correctness or who is responsible for it - it's about people knowing what privileges they have.

What I'm outraged about is your - and many others - dismissive attitude towards the problem - and attempts to try and label it as some sort of double standard.

It just goes to show that some people haven't had their privilege gut-checked by someone.
