Because once the spots of those lame white dudes are taken, the prejudices between communities like African-Americans and Latinos - a thing that most people don’t want to face or discuss - would arise and interfere with this otherwise very necessary change in the Democratic Party.

Actually, the woman that does our announcements (and welcoming of “visitors”) did clown, albeit gently, those couple of times per year folks yesterday.

Wow. Just wow. Thank you for sharing that. Representation TRULY matters.

Although not discussed as much, this is yet another reason why representation matters.

You are SO wrong for this comment! Made me laugh out loud at work. Here, take a star for that.

A few of my random favorites:

I love this post.

OMG THIS! My daughter is a 32C (at 13 years old!), and buying bras for her is the 2nd circle of hell. We end up having to buy 34Bs, and just adjusting them to death so that MAYBE they fit kinda sorta right.

Also missed: “Oh it’s like THAT?”

It’s bad enough I am forced to watch my daughter’s insipid Disney shit because there is only one TV in the house with cable. The fact that he is this immature in real life just makes everything that much worse.

What up, fellow Jezzies!

All hail the CUV! A mom car that doesn’t look like a mom car. I love my Nissan Murano because while it has space for both of my kids and all of their friends, it drives like a sedan, and has similar mpg. When a minivan is too big and a sedan is too small, CUVs like Nissan’s Rogue and Murano, fit the bill perfectly.

I was in Elementary school when all of this was going on, and I remember my parents freaking right the fuck out, but trying to seem like they weren’t, until they caught the guy. That was a scary time back then, and I am curious about how the network will show the case and the investigation.

Although I could deal with a few more episodes, just covering Bonnie’s backstory, and what eventually happens to Bonnie, Celeste and Jane, I doubt it could be stretched into an entire nother season.

Same issue here. The ad was mind-numbingly tone deaf, but Nivea is also one of the only products that works well for my super dry skin that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

That was my read on it as well. Plus, if you look at the subtext of the relationship, there is no guarantee he would not have proceeded even if she had turned him down. It was as if consent was her least worst option.

I am only second generation (my grandparents fled the south in the 50's), but boy, do I hear you.

I was quoting the LA Times comments section, actually. Everybody from farm country (mostly Central California), swears they are heading for Texas, Idaho, or places North and East of here that practice ‘traditional” values. Go figure.

Egad. It sounds about the same as all the tiresome “Leaving LA” essays we get over here on the Left Coast. We get it. Los Angeles, and all of it’s various suburbs, is hella expensive. Yes every other waiter/waitress/barista you meet is a model/actor/actress, and wants to be in the entertainment industry. That is…

Ok, so I wasn’t the only one waiting for Perry to pop-up from somewhere and kill her.
