I am very happy to hear it, too. Lovesickness can be a genuine sickness. Studies have shown that the parts of your brain that hurt after a breakup - and the degree to which they hurt - are comparable to having broken bones. Broken bones. After my last breakup, it took months and months (years, really) to get through…

Would you like one with extra handsomeness and charm?

They should just name her "Kimye." Meta baby name is meta!

Does anyone else totally wish that they could get honorary degrees instead of having to actually work for one and go to school for it? Because it sounds like a great gig to me.

Maybe Barb can pay off my student loans for me, since she won't have any of her own to pay for.

I do find this really funny to be honest. As a Dubliner this feels more like some cheeky kids messing about than pearl clutching prudes.

Ahh, l'esprit d'escalier. It catches out the best of us.

"two men just aren't used to being in a grocery store together."

Why the hell not? I'm jealous of people who are able to retain religious faith; I'm not talking about the Rick Santorum pricks, but the legitimately balanced, well-adjusted religious folks I know that legitimately seem content and at peace with their lives. It seems like it must be nice; atheism/agnosticism is kind of…

Atheist and lifelong depression sufferer here! Also weighing in.

I do not believe that is why Hitchens drank so much. Alcoholism is agnostic: it doesn't care what faith or lack thereof you have.

Hmm. I can't decide whether this look is Blue Steel or Le Tigre.

For real, there is no way I wouldn't forsake my heterosexuality for this man. Look at him! Sweet Jesus, I feel like when he walks into a room it must be the polar opposite of the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark where they open the Ark of the Covenant; no one's face melts and everyone feels like they have been…

As a straight man, I think I have the necessary distance to talk about this objectively. Now, obviously the political tensions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE are one factor, but I think dismissing the well documented link between hostility and repressed sexuality in highly masculized and patriarchal cultures is...…

Her accent—not just "American," but truly an entitled California chick accent—is IMPECCABLE. I seriously want to be an old weirdo and spend the night in line to get tickets for this.

#1 reason it's "OK" (but it's not OK with you so you can feel free to complain about it—OK is relative): Because it's a blogger writing about a powerful celeb (who is famous both for her beauty and her talent), not The President giving a speech about a colleague. Power differences and context differences. Think of it…

OH GOD THE SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT.

We live in a world where someone who writes this sentence, "And that, my friends, was how I was introduced to my good friend benzodiazepines, a family of pills I have taken daily nearly every day of my life since," is called a talented writer. This kills me.
