When I was growing up, I used to love the Choose Your Own Adventure series (probably because having that much agency and freedom was intoxicating for a girl who wasn’t even allowed to hold the TV remote). Since all you Internet denizens are infatuated with 90s nostalgia, here’s a Jane Dough Choose Your Own Adventure for you to star in.

While sequestration may sound like something you did once while you were drunk in high school but regretted ever since because some people won’t let you forget it and, like, hell-ooo, you’re a different person now, the term refers to a series of automatic, across-the-board budget cuts that could impact multiple government agencies, lead to hundred of thousands of job cuts and cause lasting damage to the economy — so yeah, it’s kind of a bummer.

Well, would you look at that! In a poll measuring the favorability of possible 2016 presidential nominees, one hypothetical candidate won deep-red Georgia with a comfortable margin.

Is Hillary Clinton’s Web Site The Beginning Of Her Run For 2016?

hillary6n-2-web

Big news today: Hillary Clinton has rolled out a new web site. Many people say this signifies the beginning of her 2016 run. Plus, her old web site, HillaryClinton.com, offers a link to the new website “to reach the Office of Hillary Clinton,” which is creating further speculation. And this web site was launched a week after she leaves her post as Secretary of State. Coincidence? I think not. In this case, this picture might literally be saying 1,000 words.

Senator DeLauro, who has been responsible for introducing the Paycheck Fairness act for each of the past eight congresses (which must feel similar to banging one’s head repeatedly against a wall), designed the legislation to help women who believe they are victims of gender-based wage discrimination. In a press release, she said, “The Paycheck Fairness Act will help the Equal Pay Act fulfill its intended objective, offer real protections to ensure equal pay for equal work, and see that women are paid the same as the other half of our nation’s workforce for the same job.”
