Shared on the GoTs post, but thought it belonged here, too. While the Dany one is clearly wong, the rest are pure gold.

Thoughts on the most recent Mommygate fiasco? I'm sick of the quality of discourse on FB; y'all are so much cooler.

I just watched "Game Change" the other day. It was really interesting and maddening at the same time. I highly recommend checking it out. I know the movie may not be totally true although NPR says it is fair and balanced and I really do trust NPR. Anyways, Julianne Moore had a great quote about the movie that I can't find now but basically she said that the movie shows how warped the U.S. is in how they choose their leaders. Someone with basically no knowledge can be a real contender because she is pretty and seemingly charismatic. It's depressing how politics works in this country.

I'm with the majority here too - NPR every morning and evening, Huff Po as soon as I wake up and every time I'm bored during the day, CNN when I'm too tired to concentrate, Stewart when I feel the need to laugh […]

The Electoral College. My vote does not count even though I live in a democratic country.

I read the NY Times and Persephone... that's it! I don't watch TV, and those 2 online sources take up enough of my time :-p Both are biased, but biased in a way that doesn't make me want to pull out my hair […]

I usually go to Huffington Post, CNN, BBC, and also, yes - Stewart and Colbert. I often stop by at smaller blogs, like Hay Ladies for my Texas news. I try to follow through links to get to the original source on […]

I think I get my news from all of the above! Some are your "objective" news sites like the BBC, the NY Times, The Atlantic (<3 Ta-Nahesi Coates' blog!), etc. I also look at some feminist & social justice sites, […]
