bthny:
Today, the White House did the right thing for women, public health and human rights. Despite deep concerns, including my own, based on what transpired in the past under health reform, the White House has decided on a plan to address the birth control mandate that will enable women to get contraceptive coverage directly through their insurance plans without having to...

i almost feel like it’s my responsibility to win this scholarship to take it away from some libertarian out there. i mean, the free market can provide their college funding, right?
This is honestly something I’ve seriously considered before.

This is fucking bullshit. I mean, I know, who else am I going to vote for, since the Republicans seem to think hormonal BC and condoms are only for whores who don’t deserve to live, but this is just bullshit.

The beltway pundit class says the White House is in trouble on this. Reality check, guys, okay? Where the white house is on this issue is here. Hey, women of America, under a Democratic president your birth control pills will be covered by health insurance, and if you don’t have health insurance you can go to a clinic and get subsidized birth control there. If a republican is elected your...

I just saw a commercial for pepper
McCormick Black Pepper. It was telling me to sprinkle pepper on things because of the antioxidants.

New Amsterdam Stolen By British and Renamed New...
perezhamilton:
Peter Stuyvesant’s luck has finally run out!!!
The Hawk Faced Director-General of New Amsterdam was surprised to see four British Navy ships sail into port and demand that he surrender. Since no one wanted to brutally lose to the Brits, the pansy with a wooden leg hobbled out of New Amsterdam and gave the reigns to King Charles II’s brother, AKA the Duke of York. In his honor,...

"Rachel Maddow: The Republican Party Is Waging War... →
coffeewithants:
“Roughly 80 percent of people say that anybody providing health insurance should be required to cover contraception. And so there is a way you can try to make this into a religious freedom issue but…campaigning against the availability of birth control in America is going to run into a 21st century ceiling,” Maddow said.
BAD. ASS.

Extended version of the NBC commercial.
Community. Parks and Rec. Oh goodness gracious, my heart.
The best part of this is Jimmy Fallon at the end.
The second best part is extreme lack of lyric changes to the actual song.

Ubermichael referred to it as the “Superball” earlier, and now I can’t stop thinking about Eli Manning making little rubber balls ricochet off of every surface in some kind of giant stadium.
You keep talking about this Eli Manning dude and I keep thinking the guy on SG: Universe.
I enjoy your interpretation of American Sporting Events.

Komen's ambiguous apology, by Katha Pollitt →
shananaomi:
“Komen miscalculated by thinking its base cares only about breast cancer: in fact, those women in pink t-shirts and sneakers, raising their thousands upon thousands of dollars a year for breast cancer research, understand quite well that women’s health means more than tumor-free breasts.”

Santorum To Gay Man: You Don't Deserve 'Privilege'... →
kileyrae:
Rick Santorum told a gay man in Fulton, Missouri Friday afternoon that he didn’t deserve the “privilege” of marriage because his same-sex relationship does not “benefit” society in the same way that opposite-sex marriage does. Marriage, Santorum explained is an “intrinsic good” in which gay and lesbian people should not be allowed to partake in.
Things that don’t benefit society:
