HEMPSTEAD, New York—On the day before the debate between New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon, Nixon had requested that the debate hall be kept at a comfortable 76 degrees. It was a challenge to Cuomo’s well-documented and somewhat notorious penchant for cold rooms and to the patriarchy of freezing offices…
The long and contentious debate over the correct way to refer to those who enter the U.S. without “papers” or proper authorization could use some rebranding, according to the Department of Justice—at least in one email obtained by CNN.
In the spin room following the second presidential debate, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said, “I’m with the campaign ‘til the bitter end, unless...” trailing off painfully abruptly, even for a Trump associate.
Roger Ailes was driven away from Fox News after Gretchen Carlson came forward with accusations of sexual harassment. Those accusations quickly snowballed, as more and more women had horrible stories about Ailes, some with details we will never forget. But now, he’s loose in the world and it looks like he’s gravitated…
[Long, drawn-out, blood-curdling scream]
You can’t run. You can’t hide. Every day, it gets closer, and one day, it will be here, bringing with it UNSEEN and UNSPEAKABLE horror!
A three-man debate team at Eastern Correctional Facility, a New York State maximum-security prison formerly known as the “State Institution for Male Defective Delinquents,” beat Harvard University in a competition in September—and is receiving another, well-deserved wave of recognition for this feat.
Who is single-handedly fending off the Tea Party Huns from gutting the federal budget, standing up for needy families, and making House Speaker John Boehner look like one of the sad clown porcelain figurines your grandmother keeps in her home just to make unwanted visitors ill at ease? That would be the diminutive…
Hey, you know how our public dialogue on just about everything is so fucked-up and frustrating that sometimes you just need Jon Stewart to hold you? And demolish the FOX News doublespeak bullshit with one fell strike of his grim morning star of moderation? And pet your hair? Well, finally, addressing our post-Newtown…
Last week was Fuck You Week, Jezebel's first annual week of desperate emotional cleansing and unhinged psychic purging. But Friday took a turn for the awful and we didn't run our final entries. So we're doing that now.
If waving your genitals at casual passersby in San Francisco is on your bucket list (and, let's be real, if it isn't, how can you be sure you're heart's really beating?), then you'd better hurry up and do it before Feb. 1 rolls around and makes genital-exposing in Fog City a much more fraught endeavor. That's when an…
Like an incredibly high stakes Miss America competition, the last Presidential debate of the 2012 election season has come and gone. And because both candidates are fighting to the death over the tiny sliver of undecided voters (really, what amounts to twelve people who own Puddle of Mudd CD's scratching their butts…
Enjoy the debate. Just not as much as that guy, okay? (Also, do you think he represents, like, religion as a whole and Romney and Obama are political pandering? Is "God" having the last laugh? Just think about it, that's all I ask.) (Don't think about it, forget I said anything.)
Don't bother, they're here. Or they will be any minute, for now we just have their Ken Doll stand-ins. Until it starts, please peruse Erin's debate guide, pour yourself all the drinks (ALL OF THEM), and get ready to rumble!
Joe Biden and Paul Ryan weren't the only famous politicos to engage in a high-stakes debate this week. In Massachusetts, incumbent Senator Scott "Cosmopolitan" Brown and Elizabeth "BUT SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A CHEROKEE" Warren duked it out onstage. While the race could go either way at this point, Warren won the…
Before last night's debate finally ugh'd its way into the record books, the Presidential candidates' wives greeted one another onstage. And when First Lady Michelle Obama and First Romney Ann Romney met to shake hands, camera flashes captured every pursed lip, every microexpression. The pictures of the two tell a…
Meet the stand-ins for Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Just remember, as Billy Flynn would say, "It's all a circus, a three-ring circus." Enjoy some top-notch political theater!
Savage Love author and creator of the It Gets Better project Dan Savage recently invited Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, over to his home for dinner with him and his husband. The meal was followed by a good ol' fashioned, formal debate on gay marriage. Brown surprisingly accepted…
A woman hasn't moderated a general-election presidential debate since 1992, but three teenage girls from New Jersey are hoping to change that. Last Tuesday, Emma, Sammi, and Elena stormed into the Washington headquarters of the Commission on Presidential Debates with 118,000 signatures backing up their petition for a…
