Obama for America: Twitter's favorite #SOTU quotes →
barackobama:
After live-tweeting the President’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night, we took a look at our retweet stats to get an (unscientific) sense of the parts Twitter liked most.
Here are the top moments of the speech, as decided by our Twitter followers:
1. “That means women should earn equal pay for equal work.”
2. “No one built this country on their own. This nation is great...

Roe v. Wade
As we mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must remember that this Supreme Court decision not only protects a woman’s health and reproductive freedom, but also affirms a broader principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose and this fundamental constitutional right. While this is a sensitive and often...

Ten Good Reasons Why Women Should Stay Away From... →
1. You might break a nail.
2. You could bruise a male ego or two.
3. You’ll eat properly and still be able to lose fat. Work of the devil!
4. You’ll look more like an athlete and less like a runway model. Skeletal is sexy, right?
5. You’ll be able to lift heavy things without asking a man for help, thus upsetting the balance of the universe.
6. You will be seen in public without high...

Book Review - Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling
Even though I revered Mindy Kaling before the release of this book for her work on The Office (actor, writer and producer, what?!), I didn’t pay much attention to the novel at first. Obviously I knew about it, but since I didn’t stop hearing about it I figured all the good things were just...

Poli-ticks Me Off
I’ve been trying to educate myself about and understand this whole “politics” thing. It’s not working. At all. I just can’t get into it. I like to think that the reason I don’t understand politics is because it is just uninteresting and annoying. All I associate with the subject are old men who care more about what the Bible says than what society needs and who...

Complimentary
Here are some great compliments I’ve received recently. I’m not bragging - I just have self-esteem issues, so indulge me.
“Of our entire group of friends, your life is the most put-together.”
A beloved friend of mine told me this (or something very similar, I apologize if I misquoted) recently at a party. I hadn’t realized how lucky I was before she said it, but...

People have always scoffed at my fear of water travel…
Until now!
See, my fears aren’t so irrational! Titanic was based on a true story, people!
More terrifying photos here.

Urination at War: Don't Be Mad at the Peeing; Be... →
What a world we live in, a world in which peeing on dead people yields more moral outrage than killing them in the first place.
…
If you’re a fan of dark comedy, all the hand-wringing about preserving the dignity of our enemies after they’re dead can seem outright laughable. We allow—nay, encourage and demand, our troops to shoot people in the face, stab them in the guts, and...

The Pros and Cons of: Buying a Car
Living without a car isn’t as bad as most people tend to imagine. I take the bus to work everyday which actually consistently results in an early arrival. I walk to the grocery store, the mall, to my favorite restaurants and just about anywhere else I need to go. However, occasional mishaps pop up which tend to get me wondering - What if I bought a car? I’ve been thinking about it a...

Proposal: A New Curriculum
Since my school days I have had issues with the curriculum mandated by “the man.” You know, the kind that forces students to take certain required classes. For instance, why are students taught useless things like algebra? Think about it - people tend to interact with others on a daily basis, but only a fraction actually go into higher maths and sciences and whatnot. So, why not teach...
