I think it's strange that you think an abortion is the obvious choice—In the show, Mindy has stated outright many, many times that she wants children—and she wants them with Danny. She's in a committed relationship with someone she loves, who just bought a house for them to live in together, btw. And she's a woman

Actually, critics were upset that the movie veered from the truth. LBJ was an outspoken advocate of the Civil Rights bill. He was always an ally to MLK—and the movie (from what I understand) made him resistant. That isn't true to history. It just isn't. The director admitted that she took "creative license" with

How do you tell now? The crawl doesn't say Lady Vols.—it says UTENN or something. But on the left, it says NCAAW vs. NCAA. This is not a big deal.

Well, actually, most textbook publishers have ancillary materials online—and many (maybe most?) have a full digital copy of the textbook available. So, Maddow may have taken an unnecessary step. She might've been able to post the web address for the online materials.

Yeah, when I saw articles that insinuated that, the only evidence I ever saw cited was the fact that his now-wife was at one time a staffer on the show and Stephanie Berkus (?), the woman he had an affair with was as well. Two consensual relationships over the course of 40 years does not mean that he sexually

I have been watching Letterman for decades, and I've literally never heard this. Just because he's had consensual relationships with women he worked with (both his wife and the woman he had an affair with a few years back worked on the show) does not mean that he harasses every woman he works with. Several of his

Thank you! I came here to complain about this not being on the list. I love that scene, because the penises are so lively and free! They're just peens being themselves! Delightful.

Have you tried glycolic acid peels? It basically just encourages skin cells to turn over more quickly—so the hyperpigmentation that would maybe eventually fade will (in theory) fade more quickly since the skin is renewing more often. Plus—glycolic acid is really good for acne—that's why I started using it—so you

I like you.

Yeah, Kerbey Lane is a terrible restaurant (the service is so bad it's almost like it's some sort of schtick)—it's only redeeming factors imo are the queso and the pancakes. But I just don't like Magnolia's. They insist on ruining perfectly good queso by putting black beans in it. They put those freaking black beans

Right. Of course queso means cheese. But this dish is called queso. It's not called queso dip. If you watch the video, you'll notice that she never calls it queso dip because she's probably really from Texas so she knows that's just not what it's called. It's just not. It's sort of like saying "hamburger

Man, I was about to take you to school about how there's no way that her recipe is worthy of comparison to Kerbey queso (Magnolia can suck my ass)—but then I watched the video, and I see where you're going. White cheese, avocado. Still not Kerbey queso—but I get why you'd draw the comparison.

she makes Texan queso dip

Or instead of taking the most facile possible reading of that comment, you could maybe interpret it as saying that she started to like Dunham because she is talking about a traumatic, shameful event with dignity and restraint—and her discussion of her own trauma, shame, and process of overcoming shame could actually

Dude. He reminds me of Morgan on the Mindy Project—puppies and all!

No, thank you for reminding me why I normally don't reply to comments that use the word "misandrist." Reasoning with you people is just not possible. Alas.

Whoa, there. I never said it was incumbent on the media to decide whether to print those statements. I mean, I guess technically it is—but I don't have an issue with news outlets printing those statements. The representatives who made the statements are the ones who I thought should be exercising caution. Not for

Look, you start off from a place I can sort of understand, but then we just go off the rails. I think the tongue-in-cheek angle just didn't sit well with you—which is fair. I'm guessing you're a more hard core comics fan? As someone who's not really a comics person, but who gets most of my comics knowledge through

They might be willing to endure discrimination themselves—but they don't want their child to endure more than she has to? Or maybe they're worried about talking with her about the specific type of discrimination that she will be dealing with when it's different from anything they've directly experienced?

Yeah, I don't see the problem with suing, here. They paid for a certain service, and they weren't given the service they were promised (ie, insemination from the donor of their choice). Not only that, but they may have to make adjustments to their lifestyle/living situation to accommodate the sperm bank's
