I will most likely vote for Clinton, but all I can think of is the scene in Animal Farm where Napoleon kills Snowball and then presents Snowball’s plans as his own

Two additional notes:

In one of the tweets she used to dig her hole ever deeper (referenced above) she claims she was an 18-year-old in 1999. So she was born in 1981, the same year I graduated high school. My 30th high school reunion is long behind me.

In tribute to Ms. Linton, I am also announcing my new memoir, recounting the time I sailed up the Congo River to search for a mysterious ivory trader named Kurtz.

Sooooo, her bio says she’s currently 29, which makes her 12 years of age in 1999, the year she says she lived alone in “the jungle with big spiders and poor little children with AIDS and, and, and . . . insert cliche here.”

I’ve thought about this and realized that it can be both. I believe he thinks his daughter is an exceptional woman (and not just the whole “if she wasn’t my daughter I’d...” bit of effluvia). I believe he encouraged her. Because she’s his. And that alone makes her exceptional by virtue of those yugely great genes. But…

As the story notes, it is a tactic to keep the plaintiffs from appealing. I see it all the time. The plaintiffs will agree to not appeal, and the claim for fees and costs will be dismissed. And, yeah, you should if you are out 700K for a frivolous claim. I see people all the time bitch about what a sue-happy society…

it would devalue their brand to be seen on a fattie. Seriously that’s the argument. I am surprised that Tadashi Shoji who’s done such nice things for Octavia Spencer didn’t step up.

I had the same question, but assumed that there was something that I don’t understand about the fashion industry.

She responded to someone on twitter and said that her publicist has been reaching out to everyone, with no takers, for months

I hope Siriano makes something amazing for her—her look is so strong and she wears clothes very well (loved her Elle cover).

She’s not only a giant, she has the nerve to be a Black giant. A Black giant who isn’t even a model and isn’t even light-skinned. Just who does she think she is, expecting to wear dressy clothing and have a few designers respond favorably to the idea of dressing her!

Aren’t...aren’t they making her argument for her?

“which she says includes her wife, Lisa, and their longterm mutual partner, Sebastian.”

I deeply fear that in the history books, Brexit will be the Sudetenland to America’s Poland...

If there is one thing #brexit made clear to me its that he is absolutely possible and actually more than likely, the worst part is there is no clear way to stop him.

Cats are very good at ruining sexy times. It's the staring and judging.

Yes! That book was the gateway drug to my North Korea book obsession. It’s heartbreaking. (Okay, they all are.)

I also read it, twice, and found it a fascinating and incisive piece of journalism. As the other commenters mention, just the fact that she has the language skills to understand what her students, minders and others are saying makes a huge difference when you compare this against other books written about North Korea.…

The thing I feel about a lot of personal books about foreigners going to North Korea is that those people are so controlled, isolated and inundated in propaganda (not speaking the language, the only people they can talk to are their government handlers) that they pretty much have to rely on outside scholarship to fill…
