I just thank God the young Mr. Hanks is still unimportant enough he isn't often mentioned. If he were it might add fuel to a friend's already insane and irrational fire, and I would be forced to endure even crazier rantings. My friend has an irrational hatred of Tom Hanks, like a cray cray level of hatred. Let me…

I didn't say that recognizing animals as people advances the world toward a greater good. I graduated from law school, I am one of the sad sacks that finished in the last five years and so I an chronically underemployed, (and to stave off the ATL folk, no not a T14 but a T50... the horror) so I think my reasoning and…

Oh my God YES! And if you live on the East Coast, let me recommend the Edy's Slow Churned Smores. Something both divine and delicious occurs when those graham cracker bits are mixed into ice cream.

I understand all that, and I understand the logic behind it. I am not against animal research, I recognize the value and the importance of the work they do. Though I am very troubled by some applications that I personally think are abusive, cruel, and of suspect value (I'm looking at you researchers pulling out dog…

Well stare decisis isn't binding, case law has changed. But that will not, nor necessarily should it, change here.

I'm going to go ahead and do the thing I was told NEVER to do in law school, and assume that they have tried, and failed, at this tactic. Were it only so simple. Also, most universities doing animal research are loathe to give up test subjects they have spent countless research dollars and years on. Organizations that…

Ha ha! I was scrolling through this list with interest, getting myself all excited (internal squees!). And then I remembered, I'm poor. Whomp.

If corporations can be persons why not chimps?

"Tommy — a chimp who's being kept in a cage in a shed at a used trailer lot."

Vodka?! Oh you and I will be just fine.

I know I'm hard to resist, oozing my se-suality all over the place. It's why I've had to lock this shit down.

How To Survive Holiday Breakup Season: Step One. Stop entering into relationships involving love or sex with other people. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Agreed. And his mention of Andrea got my blood boiling for her and her stupid all over again.

I'm just glad the whole Governor storyline has run its course. In the comic he seemed to be a much more straightforward psychopath surrounded by like-minded folk. On the show I could just never wrap my head around why anyone would follow this man as a leader when he tries to act like he cares about the people and the…

I understand your point. I guess I've had experiences I would never have imagined happening so I tend to believe the worst, but you make a good point.

It is surprising, but anti-Semitism still persists all over. One of my father's "best" experiences as a newspaper photographer was when he was in a small town in the South, Tennessee I believe, and was covering a local story. His presence was big news in town and so when a local came up to him at a diner in town…

The majority of men I have dated have been terrible drivers. Angry, slow, distracted, road raging drivers. But I avoid driving with others most of the time; driving my own car allows me to leave whenever I want. Independence is hard to give up.

Done. They fired me today. Over the phone. So there's that.

I LOVED it. Unabashedly, wholeheartedly, loved it.

To be fair, the Jewish Superman would be Ragman. Who is, hands down, my favorite superhero. In the Roshambo of superpowers, rag beats everything.
