Just to be clear, Newt Gingrich didn’t ask for an open marriage. That raging narcissist asked his ailing wife for permission to continue cheating. There’s a huge difference.

My vagina is not a hole through which respect passes, nor do I need you to validate my sexual behavior. Why is that so hard for some boys to understand?

What are your reasons for reading books and other long-form works in this age of 140 characters and one-word comments?

Reading gives me knowledge & perspective. It broadens my horizons, and helps me understand more of the human experience. It’s relaxing and gratifying. I’ve become better at understanding myself, others, and my surroundings through reading. Reading has increased my critical thinking skills, and makes me feel like a contributing member of an enlightened history dating back to, well, the Enlightenment.

“I am 100% opposed to SOPA and PIPA, even though I’m one of the artists they were allegedly written to protect. I’ve probably lost a few hundred dollars in my life to what the MPAA and RIAA define as piracy, and that sucks, but that doesn’t come close to how much money I’ve lost from a certain studio’s creative accounting.

The RIAA and MPAA are, again, on the wrong side of history. Attempting to tear apart one of the single greatest communications achievements in human history in a misguided attempt to cling to an outdated business model instead of adapting to the changing world is a fucking crime.

A free and open Internet is as important to me as the bill of rights. I don’t want the government of one country — especially the corporate-controlled United States government — to exert unilateral control over the Internet for any reason, especially not because media corporations want to buy legislation that won’t do anything to actually stop online piracy, but will expand the American police state, and destroy the Internet as we know it.

Please contact your Senators and US Representatives, and tell them to vote NO on SOPA and ProtectIP. The future of the Internet — and the present we take for granted — depend on it.”
