Making ZzzQuil A Part Of Your Holiday Festivities
Wits – Julia Sweeney “Sex Ed.” Monologue

Thanks to the wonderful people at BuzzFeed we get an inside glimpse into the disturbing American subculture of white, educated but not smart, ignoramuses.

This subculture is basically in direct opposition of what America stands for and is actually one time i’m really, really glad NOT to see faces of diversity. Here they are seen holding signs with the ‘reason’ they are voting against same sex marriage.

Even though I’m totally against their bigoted stance, I’m going to give them a tip- if you’re going to be the face of a movement, have a solid leg to stand on. Answering a question with the answer ‘Jesus’ with no other justification is equivalent to answering any question with ‘spaghetti’ (yes, a nod to the FSM). And to the fine young gentleman who said “marriage is . . . not a secular issue,” don’t forget the separation part of the separation of church and state. How is it not secular when a life partner can’t visit their dying spouse in a hospital because it’s ‘family only,’ a time when they need the most love and compassion? And someone had the audacity to mention liberty? Take your advice and have yours your way and let others have theirs, especially when their liberty has absolutely no ill effect on yours whatsoever. You have every right to ‘believe’ we’ll all go to hell, you go right ahead. And we have the legal right to have our own beliefs.

(And just another reason I make an effort to vote)

The Magic Johnson AIDS announcement was huge when I was in high school. In fact I had a t-shirt that said “Protect your Johnson, no matter how magic you think it is – Condoms, Monogamy, Abstinence.” So you should remember you can’t trust a big butt and a smile, you need to trust in your jimmy hat.

Sometimes its fine for two consensual adults to just get buckwild without a lot of baggage. And men, it really is splendid when an independent woman doesn’t get offended but two things: 1) don’t push it and 2) don’t ever underestimate or be surprised by a women’s right/want to hit it just as much as you.

10 Healthy Ways to Help a Hangover

While it’s not something I’m proud of, I’ve got plenty of hangovers under my belt. See, despite all of my healthy practices . . . I’m just not that great at saying no to that third or fourth drink once I get going. Bless those of you who are—and damn those of you who are immune to hangovers altogether!…

Have some miso soup with your eggs. This is totally a thing in Japan. Miso soup replaces a lot of things our bodies need to feel better: water, sodium, and other nutrients depleted by the diuretic effects of the alcohol. Because it’s a fermented food that contains healthy bacteria, miso can also aid with digestion. Too much alcohol is known to disrupt the stomach’s lining and can often result in unpleasant digestive side effects—let’s leave it at that. Oh and the cysteine in eggs breaks down the hangover-causing toxin acetaldehyde, so they really are a good breakfast choice post-boozing (and don’t skip the yellows).

Take a handful of omega 3s—and then repeat. There’s not muchomegas aren’t good for. Take them when you get home; take them when you wake up; take them take them take them. Alcohol causes inflammation (which is at the root of most health problems), and omegas are proven to fight that inflammation a serious way. They will also help combat some of the unpleasant side effects of alcohol on your face, like dry, aggro, blotchy skin. Just trust us on this one.

Drink kombucha tea. Yeah, the weird stuff with the floaties at the bottom that actually can contain a bit of alcohol itself. Maybe it’s a hair-of-the-dog thing, but kombucha absolutely makes us feel better when we have a hangover. Again, it’s fermented, which means it’s really good for your sad little tummy. And if you don’t believe us just ask more seasoned hangover experts like Lindsey Lohan and the ladies at Jezebel.…
