Oh dear Phil, I'm really sorry for your loss.

I don't think there's a trick, I think you cry until you fall asleep.

Oh, look, I appeared on Ophelia Benson's blog once again. She screengrabbed a comment I made on someone's Facebook profile within a thread, failing to link the thread itself. That's interesting. It's been months since she blogged about me. I guess she is running out of material. More quoting and ver...

Anyway, people have been asking for data and evidence for years and feminists often fail to produce.

That was a shit-ass move by Wilkes-Barre.

For many, prayer actually has an immense soothing effect, regardless of...
