Whoa, some dude makes the comment that the Republicans were on the wrong side of the slavery debate. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t he talking about the Republicans who were against slavery and ended up emancipating the slaves and abolishing slavery?! You know, like Abe Lincoln. Wow. A mindfuck indeed.
It’s up to us to mitigate our dark skin and ethnic features by framing them with hair that’s as neat and unethnic as possible.
And what’s wrong with that? Companies are just requiring them to look like normal people and not look like weirdos. It’s absolutely appropropriate for companies to require their employees to look normal.
It’s funny, I was about to open my mouth and bleat something about how odd it struck me that there was some sort of “professional expectation” of hair, of all things, especially hair that’s not seven feet tall in a rainbow of colours … and then I remembered the comment that my ex-manager made to me, which basically amounted to: “Gee, I wouldn’t have hired you if I’d known you wore your hair like a dyke.” (I wore a hat to the interview.)
Did his crack about the 60s mean what I think it means?

My favorite was this one:
My favorite was the guy who thinks that the word “trilobite” refers to something so dirty that he won’t say it in the comments of a blog.
Thanks a lot, McBoing. Now, are you going to help me crack open my skull and pour in the cleansing bleach to help me forget?

Sara: funny, my wife’s had that reaction, or close to it, at half a dozen jobs now

I fear it does, Amanda.
