@SinisterRouge: Perhaps "it takes a train to cry" is referring to the "Muslim smear" emails... which were forwarded all over the place by Clinton's people. That's been proven, yes? She has to let some staff go over it, yes? Read more

@treecut...will cut a beech: No, apparently it doesn't. You crazy caucus-goer! Read more

I'm sorry, but I CANNOT stand the idea of a self-respecting Clinton-supporting woman voting for McCain in the general just because she's angry that her candidate didn't win the nomination (for whatever reason she believes) Read more

@SinisterRouge: Of course, you single out one of the red caucus states, but look at some of the others. How about "those Dems in Iowa/Washington/Maine/Colorado?" Read more

@Political Party Girl: People in caucus states would tend to disagree with her. But it's not at all surprising that she'll qualify voters out in her push for the nomination. Which is all but over. Read more

@SinisterRouge: She doesn't count the votes in her "popular vote" fuzzy math tally. The number that she's using the claim her pop vote victory? Yeah. That one. Read more

@SinisterRouge: So? That still doesn't refute my point Read more

@NotNotLickingToads: Yes - the "caucuses don't count but rule-breaking states do!" argument is really nauseating. Read more

@stacyinbean: Yes, I think she's acknowledging that Obama has the delegates he needs to win the nomination but she's not conceding. I've heard that she's going to claim that she won the popular vote (not including caucus states, of course. they don't count!) Read more

Yay Andy - snarkiest dude around. I WILL miss hearing your voice during our Thursday afternoon calls... but oh well. You're so perfect for this site, if I do say so myself. Read more

@kelsium: That's interesting. My gut tells me that, when it comes to Huck Fin, you can't really be color blind in the casting. It kind of messes up the whole story. But maybe I'm not being progressive enough Read more

@Mrs. Cannon: @CreoleSugar: Ok :) Well one more - just because it's so fucking insane. This guy at work was marveling at my hair and told me it reminded him of his dog... like, as a compliment. Read more

@Mrs. Cannon: I know, I know. I just need to catalog them all somewhere and never speak of them again Read more

@narymary: No I totally feel you - I just don't think it's the same as Blackface. But I would have preferred Pearl to be played by a woman of color as well. Read more

I write insane cover letters. I'll send you mine. Read more

@RyanB: your, not you're. please excuse the grammatical error Read more

@CreoleSugar: Has anyone every asked you if you need a pillow when you sleep? Like this, "OMG, you're hair is SO soft! I bet you don't even need a pillow!" Read more

@SarahMC: Exactly, that was the point I was trying to make in this comment Read more

@onthecornerofparkerandwoolf: Yeah, I bet. Though I guess it makes more sense if she's in Europe - all those Germans running around and all. I think it's funny too actually. Nothing disrespectful about it Read more

@eri401: Well the term "ghetto" itself - or, as you put it "ghetto talk" - explains it all. White trash is synonymous with "ghetto", when referring to a white person. ie, Eminem. He's be both "white trash" and "ghetto." Or Carrie Bradshaw's "ghetto gold for fun" would also be "white trashy." Read more
