 Why do they think ‘fat dyke’ is an insult? To me, it means… I’m gonna eat fried chicken and pussy. That’s why I brought wet naps.

 Though no one would ever think of using the term honor violence (we reserve that descriptor for brown people who live somewhere else, motivated by religious something-or-other or tribal something-or-other), one-third of women murdered every year in the United States are killed by their intimate partners. In 2005 that amounted to 1,181 women, or three women every day. To put that in perspective, the UN estimates there are 5,000 honor killings every year in the entire world. 5,000 in a world of 6 billion versus nearly 1,200 in a single country of 300 million. In other words, a woman in America runs a greater risk of being killed by her husband or boyfriend than a woman in Pakistan.

[In 1994] Romney was preparing to leave the [homeless shelter for veterans], so he pulled Smith aside, in front of the media, to ask him his biggest problem at the shelter.

Smith replied “milk.”

Smith explained that the State of Massachusetts allocated $2.37 per day twice a day for each homeless veteran’s meal. Since the amount was so meager, the shelter had trouble providing each veteran with a carton of milk at each meal.

Romney responded “well Ken, maybe you can teach the vets to milk cows.” Romney then walked out the door.

I really thought this was gonna end positively. I’m naive as fuck. This bootstraps fucker is just the worst.

(via quelola)

Look, I don’t like him. He clearly lives in a glass bubble and would be a TERRIBLE president because he thinks money solves everything. And what he said is inexcusable. But why don’t you all click on the source and read the rest of the article instead of basing your comments on an excerpt. Yeah? Cool. (And no, I am not saying he’s a nice guy for doing this, but this was at the very least a decent response to being an asshole.)

A week later Smith received a call from his shelter’s milk supplier. An anonymous donor had agreed to pay half the shelter’s milk costs, for the next several years.

Years later, Smith found out that Mitt Romney was the anonymous donor, paying the costs out of his own pocket

Romney didn’t send out a press release during his campaign. He didn’t boast about his donation, and he hasn’t mentioned it since. In an election where his Romney’s opponents have painted him as cold and heartless, the donation shows Romney at his most compassionate.

(via lemonylemonylemoncakes)

That’s not really compassionate though.

The press went wild with the comment. Smith received an angry call from the Romney campaign saying Romney obviously didn’t think the veterans should be milking cows. The next day Romney personally called to apologize and mention how impressed he was with the concept of the shelter.

Romney paid the costs out of guilt (at most), and quite possibly was shamed into doing that much. I wouldn’t call this compassion, but YMMV.

(via karnythia)

Not to mention that relying on the donations of publicly shamed millionaires is no way to allocate resources.

 If you’re talking about programming, we noticed that all the talk shows on the other networks basically had progressive or liberal talk show hosts. We have one conservative on FOX News, Sean Hannity.

During World War II, Josephine Baker served with the French Red Cross and was an active member of the French resistance movement. The French Resistance was a group of individuals who helped to win the war against the German Nazis enemy with undercover work. Using her career as a cover Baker became an intelligence agent, carrying secret messages written in invisible ink on her sheet music. She was awarded honor of the Croix de Guerre, and received a Medal of the Resistance in 1946. In 1961 she received the highest French honor, the Legion d’Honneur from French president Charles deGaulle.

She would also tuck tiny notes into her skirts when she did burlesque routines, and would dance up to the intended recipient and let him pluck it out.  Really brave, really smart, really interesting lady, on top of all her artistic talents.

how cool is she?
