When an international conflict – like, say, the Israel-Palestinian conflict – is extremely politically and religiously charged, what’s a leader to do? How does a leader even begin going about trying to solve a conflict like that? Here’s the answer. Two words: George...
Remember when Fox News put out an astonishingly valid article about how some female comics are funny, and especially since they’re super hot? And how this new landscape of comedy requires women to be sexy if they want any kind of fame? Yeah, totally right. Well, two female...
I know I’ve gotten kind of old (well, old-ish) because some of my friends have started having babies. On purpose. It’s a worrisome trend. But, thankfully, I’m not alone! On Conan last night, Amy Schumer related being similarly thrown off-kilter by her friends becoming...
