God bless your Mom, Larry, I remember when you used to talk to her on your show. I truly hope that black parents will take the racial aspect out of it, and teach, for lack of a better word, sportsmanship. A coach will put in the best player at a crucial moment, period, kids understand that. The barrier has been broken, he won't be the last. They should still be proud.

I had forgotten that old advice "Be a credit to your race", sort of like when parents used to say "You represent this family when you step out the door" or something to that effect. Funny how it sounds so different now. I'm afraid it would be called vaguely racist these days, which is a shame.

In our local election the Republican candidate is accused of ERASING women's access to health care - just like that, erasing, with the graphic of an eraser rubbing out a stick figure woman.

I would never call the job of Vice President "a joke", not even "somewhat". He is seconds away from the presidency at all times.

I'm beginning to have this creeping fear that people will be unable to vote against Obama out of some vague guilt, that he is nice but inept, and we loved him once, we don't want to hurt his feelings or something. And of course the white guilt - voting against the black man, I think it's too much for a lot of people. How do we combat this?

Wait, purchasing additional service credit time? Did I read that correctly??

She sounds like a user, sorry. This shouldn't be some big thing that you have to have a conversation about.

It's quite simple, one child is wanted, the other is not. And I'm always blown away when they say "life of the mother". MOTHER? Can't have a mother without a baby, can you? Yet "it's not a baby". They better change that to "woman" real quick, maybe by voice vote, hah.

You're disgusting.

"Me and some other teachers" - "Me and some other teachers" - LOLOLOL - do you all see what we're dealing with here?

The no-nookie ad is just wrong, and not just because it's crude and shocking and takes advertising to a new low. I take offense as a woman to that stereotype of women using sex as a punishment/reward system, aren't we past that? Is that really supposed to be funny anymore?
