  • The Post in Which I Throw Shade at Emily’s List

    Dear Jess McIntoshVice President of Communications, I am in receipt of your recent email, titled “Defunding Planned Parenthood”. If I’m honest, normally I would have deleted this message bulk fashion a month from now since they’ve become so very tiresome, always the same one note, one tune. But in this case I decided to find…

  • Will Someone Please Give Kasim Reed a Big Ol’ Glass of STFU?

    BatGurl here. It’s been a hot minute, (*blows dust off cape*) but I’m back because someone is being petulant again.

  • Qualifying Open Thread

    Only three hours to go before 2014 Qualifying is closed for this election cycle. Couple unpleasant re-matches in the making, I’m looking at you Lucas and Paris.
