I don't think Prof. Landsburg is getting tenure.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am on the BC, but celibate, so? it's all very confusing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The conversation began with Fluke lying about her age and that her affiliation with reproduction rights group. I copypastad the transcript where she introduces herself as a third year law student and former president of the reproductive rights group.
He will not concede that he's wrong. It's fascinating. It then turned to, "she wants the gov't to pay for her sex!"
No, she's arguing that there shouldn't be a religious exemption to health care, that she's paid her premiums and it should be covered.
He then posted a Reagan quote about abortions, and I realized I was dealing with a complete moron.

I not on BC. Also NGA. It makes me feel pathetic not smug and virtuous.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm on BC so I can continue to afford food for the babies I already had via heterosexual monogamous married sex. Woo, so slutty!
[edit: I also realized that by Rush Limbaugh's logic, I would need to have a new IUD inserted every time I had sex. Which would be an incredibly strong argument in favor of abstinence.]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm just wondering what polling numbers and marketing information the Republican candidates are using which is telling them that this is a winning plank in their platform.
Did they forget that women have the vote?

They're not winning this. They're actually kind of slinking away. They'd have their tails between their legs, but with all the aspirin they're holding, they can't fit it.

I actually kind of punted and said, "look, we all have to pay for shit we find morally objectionable. If I have to pay for you to get your war on, you have to pay for me to get my groove on."
Which, not helpful, but GODDAMN I AM CLEVER.

Jon Stewart said almost exactly the same thing Monday night.
