What “dog incident is this?” you ask… well:
The white Chevy station wagon with the wood paneling was overstuffed with suitcases, supplies, and sons when Mitt Romney climbed behind the wheel to begin the annual 12-hour family trek from Boston to Ontario.
…
Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family’s hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon’s roof rack. He’d built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog.
Then Romney put his boys on notice: He would be making predetermined stops for gas, and that was it.…
As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ”Dad!” he yelled. ”Gross!” A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who’d been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.Really, is that what you call the above story an example of? Because I call it an example of animal abuse and cruelty and stupidassness.
Perhaps I am the only one…
KTempest is right. It really is animal abuse. Especially since the dog defecated in its carrier. That means it was either very scared or really had to go badly. Dogs generally won’t poop where they sleep or where they’ll spend a lot of time. They will however if they’re in a very, very high stress situation which just freaks them out.
Also? I love that when you go to the linked poll, the leading option is, “I would never consider voting for him so it’s not an issue.”
This guy is a tool. And “emotion-free crisis management”. That sounds great. Let’s have a leader who thinks it’s a good thing not to feel empathy, sadness, anger, or any of the things that might lead you not to do things like IMPOVERISH AND OPPRESS OVER HALF OF YOUR ENTIRE COUNTRY.

Maybe you should think about it from women’s point of view. And I completely understand that about that specific person holding it and not knowing the full meaning of what she is saying but I still support the meaning.
Black women? ARE WOMEN! That’s the whole fucking point. We are the ones that will actually be called nigger. Not white women. So when we are telling you it is offensive & wrong & you’d rather cling to the racism & erase our voices? That’s a serious problem. As for liking the meaning (because you like the idea of being able to co-opt someone else’s pain for your cause) that’s the dumbest damned thing I’ve ever heard. That line is meaningless in a society where only one race of women are going to actually be called nigger. We are the ones that are dehumanized by that term. We are the ones oppressed with that word. And unless you are going to take on the actual pain of being called a nigger by people who mean it & who will happily ruin your life for the crime of being born with dark skin? You don’t get to decide that we should accept the sentiment or the goddamned sign. Ugh.
so foul that black women still have to say the first line. to the person whom karnythia was responding to—i can’t be bothered to scroll up to type out your name—you suck.

Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.—
Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)
Professor Cecilia Payne, ladies and gentlemen.

This is a great example of how the education we receive focuses around the discoveries and perspectives of men.

Getting a tattoo of a dreamcatcher to represent Cherokee culture because it’s “easily recognized” is like getting a tattoo of an origami crane to represent the fact that you’re Italian because it’s an “easily recognizable” symbol from Eurasia. We aren’t all the same, ya’ll.—

I’ve heard logical and reasonable explanations for having a dreamcatcher tattoo to represent Native heritage. The person this is referring to couldn’t even pull one out of their ass.
