    So Deez. Citizens United is a 501(c)(3). Does there organization have a right to free speech? There whole mission is educate about public policy issues. They aren't a corporation.

    Depends on how they're organized.

    They are organized as a 501(c)(3) for the purpose of advocating for policy.

    Are you a lawyer?

    501(c)(3) is a section of the Internal Revenue Code and colloquially refers to a federal tax status. It's not a business organization form. Those are determined under state law.

    Liberal millennials have wasted so much of their young lives being outraged about everything they were told to be outraged about, that they now require lessons on how to be adults.

    In all fairness, I'm not sure I know how to properly sew a button, either.

    It's also worth noting that these millennials have parents. Why weren't they teaching them these skills?

    The Millennial bashing gets almost as old as the Millennial complaining and getting offended. They are a crappy generation, but the previous generation was horrific at parenting. Most whiny, entitled millennials had parents failed to teach them that this wasn't ok. They weren't born crappy. They became crappy for a reason.

    If you are wondering what Gandhi did to deserve this treatment, he forgot to delete one little tweet

    It's certainly a parenting thing. Of course, I'd wager the millenials referenced in that article grew up in 2-income households. Cooking classes aren't as much a necessity as a luxury. My boss (VP in 75k ee company) just quit to "take a break" for 6 months. What does he do first? He signed up for a few cooking classes and bought a seasons pass for skiing. He has 3 kids under the age of 7 and an Oper at home.

    A French Oper...not sure of the spelling. Essentially a nanny. My former boss was 42yrs old.

    Bad parenting is not new, but its not necessarily the norm either. My son and friends from Boy Scouts and marching band are immature, but their values are solid, behavior respectable and life skills comparable or better than what my friends had in 1980. Only thing is they don't know much about carburetors or Farrah Fawcett.

    A "Woke AF" Christmas sweater! That's really getting in the holiday spirit. I'll bet he's a barrel of laughs at the Xmas party.

    Probably many of them did grow up in 2 income households. I don't see teaching these skills as part of an au pair's job duties. She might teach how to cook if you ask her to, but budgeting and time management are skills that parents usually teach.

    The bottom line is that parents need to find time to teach their kids this stuff. Personally, for my entire adult life, I've been able to cook very well (especially for a guy), budget, keep a schedule, pay bills, and do routine car maintenance (change a tire, oil, brake relining, spark plugs, etc.). I don't necessarily do those things on my car myself anymore, but I used to and if I needed to, I could do them again. And of course, when Deez, Jr. is older, I'll show him. Right now, I'm teaching him not to pick his nose and how to tie a shoe.

    The point is that people talk about millennials as if they all just chose to be oversensitive and helpless. Some of that criticism is fair, and some of it isn't. But generally, it's a cop-out.

    Has anybody ever asked Linda Sarsour what she thinks of wife beating?

    Speaking of cutting off one's pecker, it looks like the trans contestant from Spain lost the Miss Universe pageant. Link.

    This guy is obviously messed up in a very big way, and his doctors should be ashamed of what they did to him. However, if you look at the pictures, they did do an incredible job - best I've ever seen. They were good at what they did like Josef Mengele was good at what he did, but I have to admit they were very skilled. I think most of us could be fooled - at least a lot longer than most of these guys could fool us.

    If Ken comes out of the closet, what do you want to bet Mattel furnishes Barbie with a new, non-white boyfriend?
