Congressional Sexual Harassment Settlements
The Congressional Office Of Compliance (OOC) released a year-by-year breakdown Wednesday of harassment settlements, including the $17 million awarded to victims throughout the past decade.

The OCC said it decided to release the information regarding payment of awards and settlements regarding all types of harassment due to the mass amounts of recent inquiries. In the released statement, OCC executive director Susan Tsui Grundmann explained that these cases originate from multiple offices inside of the legislative branch, other than the House or the Senate.
Media’s Mea Culpa About Clinton
We Were Young

But 2016 wasn’t all that long ago

Matthew Yglesias has written a frank if not exactly penitent column in Vox arguing that Democrats were wrong to rally around Bill Clinton when it came to light that he was using at least one White House intern as a sexual appliance. Other progressives have joined in, but this isn’t a mea culpa. Yglesias is quick to point out that he was in high school when the Monica Lewinsky affair and Clinton’s impeachment went down. “The time is right for a reevaluation,” Yglesias writes.

The time is certainly convenient.

Yglesias may have been a callow youth in 1998 rather than the callow adult he is today, but that excuse doesn’t go very far outside of Vox’s little orbit.
Evangelicals and Roy Moore
UPDATE (November 15, 2017): Thank you for the emails and comments. The new information since Monday morning, when I wrote the article below, is a half-hour video of testimony from Judge Moore’s fifth accuser, Beverly Young Nelson, and her lawyer, Gloria Allred. It’s worth watching on YouTube or other online spots.

Right now we have three stories of Assistant District Attorney Moore in his early 30s dating older teens and two stories of Moore sexually accosting younger ones, 14 and 16. As I wrote Monday, we should differentiate the dating and the accosting, and pay attention to the latter.
Immigration Turning the Country Blue
Hey, Republicans! Did you enjoy Election Night last week? Get ready for a lot more nights like that as immigration turns every last corner of the country blue.

When Ed Gillespie lost in Virginia, liberals crowed about how they're winning the war of ideas. The country has thoroughly, emphatically rejected Trumpism!

Republicans, being idiots, played along, arguing only about whether Gillespie's problem was that he didn't embrace Trump enough or embraced him too much.
Babies Are Bad for the Environment
It’s hardly surprising that the Left, which so often promotes abortion as a good thing, would also promote fewer babies in general as a net positive for Earth.

You see, babies are bad. Mewling infants cause many problems for those adults who have come before them. So often they ruin life plans, burden that bank account, and bring about sleepless nights. Come on, can you really blame those pro-choicers?

If those reasons aren’t enough, there’s one more huge factor that must be considered before you reproduce and increase the population of this already cramped planet.

Kids are bad for the climate. Not just kind of bad for the environment. They are morally wrong.

At least that’s what one bioethicist is saying. And according to his own knowledge of his field of study and fellow colleagues, he’s not alone. He shared his opinion in the absurdly named “Think” section of NBC News.
