I am going to be an excellent parent.
Supervisor: I was so excited for you and for [my son]. He was so happy when I told him in the morning.
Me: You didn't let him stay up?
Supervisor: Haha, no.
Me: See, when I have kids, it's going to be like, No, you WILL stay up and watch this game.

Bill O'Reilly Defends Ellen, Says Push To Fire Her... →
This is not helpful, so let’s not go all, “BILL O’REILLY DEFENDED GAY PEOPLE” all of a sudden, okay? O’Reilly continues to misrepresent and misconstrue his stories. While I disagree with the opinion, private citizens and organizations have a right to their opinions, to voice those opinions, and to patronize or not patronize whatever businesses they like. ...

Josh Ritter Lullabies? Yes, Please. →
The collection of songs, which Ritter calls his version of lullabies, came from a recent writing session. The songs didn’t fit with the tracks Ritter was writing for his still-untitled forthcoming album. As he described it, the tracks were “strays,” but that’s not all they had in common.

As usual, RJC skews and misreports everything.
In a tweet earlier today, the Republican Jewish Coalition purports that Rabbi David Saperstein of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism ”criticizes” the HHS contraception mandate. RJC tweeted: A surprise in @Kampeas’s write-up of#Jewish views on HHS contraception mandate - @TheRAC’s R.Saperstein is critical: http://is.gd/1GDnwJ In actuality, Rabbi Saperstein...

bb-goose: raeliz: I generally find that people who hate on “hip hop” (read: mainstream radio rap) usually know nothing about the history of hip hop or about any other hip hop artists except those they hear on the radio.  Although I also hate white people who are like, “omg what has become of rap today, it used to be so cool and political and now it’s all bling and hos” and I’m like, a) stfu...

darlingtonia-californica: anedumacation: lebanesepoppyseed: appropriately-inappropriate: I don’t like hip-hop or rap, and it has nothing to do with race.  I don’t like it because as a rule? it’s pretty damn homophobic and it’s pretty misogynistic and I don’t like my music telling me that I can *beep* that *beep* up and *beep* the *beep* *beep*. Half the time, so many words are *beeeped*...

Rhode Island Recognized as Colony With a Hippie...
perezhamilton: Someone give us a barf bag!! All of this hippie shiz is making us sick!! The Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations has been officially recognized as a colony by the crown. The funny thing is, the royal charter has some wacky provisions. Firstly, any land used by the colonists should first be purchased from the native Indians. Secondly, it allowed for religious...
