Also (I didn’t see this, so apologies if it’s covered in the show) a neck brace isn’t just something you wear because you feel like it? You wear it because you need it. For Chanel to fix the underlying issue that made Hester wear the brace in the first place goes beyond the realm of “makeover” and into “orthopedic…

I have a 401(k) with a little money in it from a previous job, that I’m looking to turn into something useful. Would it be better to roll it into my current 401(k) (which can be distributed between a traditional 401(k) and a Roth 401(k)) or into a Roth IRA separate from my current employer, who I’m probably not still…

My high school had a fairly restrictive dress code - shirts had to be 3- or 4-button polos in a solid color, over khakis. When someone was in defiance of the code, we were given first a warning and then a detention to be served after school. Frankly I think even that is a bit much (a friend of mine once wore an Old…

So instead of writing a comment, why don't you read the reply where I already answered this 10 hours ago? It's a savings of 30 seconds and one sprained orbital muscle from me rolling my eyes.

Diplomatic immunity is only for diplomats, and only when they’re abroad in their professional capacity.

Join the mailing list! We do tons of events & they're lots of fun!

If you’re actually super-bored and lonely in DC, the International Club of DC is having an Octoberfest cruise down the Potomac tonight starting at 7.30. There will be bratwurst! You should come!

He doesn’t have it, and he could not have been arrested in the first place if he did.

I think you and I need to have a little chat about the definition of the word “anecdotally,” but in the meantime here’s an article that doesn’t talk about Teen Titans specifically, but is about the larger phenomenon, and Young Justice in particular.

Does anyone here use Instapaper? I am an avid Pocket user, but their last “upgrade” scuppered their functionality by making your list viewable only in a browser window, rather than as a drop-down from the toolbar as it used to be, and I hate it enough that I’m willing to switch to something else.

It’s a point, sure, but it’s so unimportant and silly and just, really? You want to talk about this, here, now? Ever?

I always have a big debate within myself regarding “dismiss vs. use dismissive GIF” when someone tries to get up my ass about meaningless bullshit on here. Today, we each chose different sides in this debate, but I thank you for bringing your A-game dismissive-GIF-ness.

Backpacking is not the same as being a hobo, although they can wind up looking similar to the naked eye. But a backpacker is on vacation, which suggests they have some money in the bank and perhaps some nice, snatchable, re-sellable things, like cell phones, cash, credit cards, laptops, passports, that kind of thing.

The dumbest part is that it’s so SIMPLE. My 1-step plan to How To Sell Girls Superhero Toys is: Put It On A Barbie. Put it on a Barbie! Give them a Starfire Barbie that they can put in the dress from their Princess Jasmin or Norwegian Dolls of the World and have her fly around in a dirndl every once in a while, boom,…

Considering that, anecdotally, one of the reasons the original Teen Titans series was canceled at the height of its popularity was because it was popular mostly with girls, and executives didn’t know how to market toys for the superhero show to the girls who liked the superhero show, so they decided to take the…

Because nothing says “If you’re looking for someone to rob, pick me!” like stumbling around in the wrinkled clothes you’ve been wearing for a week when everyone else around you is dressed like they know how to operate a washing machine.

Huckabee is poking a tiger he doesn’t know how to deal with, but I eagerly await whatever terrible thing Savage is going to make his last name synonymous with.

And then at the end of the day when you need to relax you can drink red wine mixed with cola, like they do in Eastern Europe!

I literally can’t believe what you’re saying. I save 20% of my income per pay period, but I’m in VERY special circumstances (my dad owns the place where I live so I pay a pittance in rent, my car is paid off, I have a debt-free M.A., etc.) The thought that the average person in normal circumstances “should” be able to…

But remember, we need both The Voice AND The X-Factor. It’s possible the market could support another break-in-based reality show.
