http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/05/28/1388599/-Teen-truthbombs-her-high-school-yearbook-and-wins-the-internet?detail=emailtestCaitlyn Cannon's high school yearbook quote is one for the ages--humorously touching on marriage equality, feminism and the wage gap.
The quote reads: "I need feminism because I intend on marrying rich and I can't do that if my wife and I are making .75 cent for every dollar a man makes."

"I need feminism, because I want to marry a woman who makes a boatload of money, so she can support me in the style to which I have become accustomed. That means I can sit at home all day, play video games, watch sports and porn, and have lots of man toys to play with."
BTW, I'm a man.

(3,714 posts)4. Buzzfeed style headlines from Daily Kos?
Kos might just want to consider that there's a good number of people getting tired of Buzzfeed style "clickbait" headlines and are starting to refuse to click on them. I wish I knew why I clicked this time, cause I'm not a fan either.
