Maybe Fauxshizzle actually knows the guy in real life? Or was just drinking a bit?

I'm pretty sure Jesus would think Life of Brian is freaking hilarious. I have total faith that the Prince of Peace had a great sense of humor. How else would he be able to tolerate all those whiny apostles?
You've read Disturbances in the Field?!! I don't think I've ever met anyone else who has read it either! It's so sad, too—Schwartz definitely did not get enough credit for writing such an absolutely amazing book.
My very favorite book of all time is called Disturbances in the Field, by Lynne Sharon Schwartz. It's about the life of a woman named Lydia. Lydia has close friends, a wonderful husband, and four children, and she is very close to having the ideal life, a life she first dreamed about as a child vacationing on the…
Cloth wipes (like these: [www.cottonbabies.com]) if she's a crunchy granola type. You can never have too many. And books! Good, classic books, like Charlotte's Web and The Phantom Tollbooth, that she can read and enjoy herself and save for the baby's childhood.
We did this in North Carolina this morning, and it looked exactly like the picture: A big grassy area, divided up by age groups, with the eggs just thrown out on the lawn. The kids grabbed them up and the whole thing was over in literally three minutes. It was the dumbest thing ever. We won't ever do that again.
Just this morning, I took my kids to one of these giant, church-sponsored egg "hunts" for the very first time. It was STUPID. There's no actual hunting—they just dump all the eggs into a big patch of grass and when the guy with the bullhorn yells "go!" all the kids run out and grab a bunch of them. That's it. There's…
He also doesn't deserve to be a driver: Not only did he almost kill his kid, he could have killed innocent bystanders (by-drivers?).
You take that back! Take it back right now, and then wash your mouth out with soap! Dear God, are you trying to give us all heart attacks? Don't ever suggest something so unholy again!
I LIKE THIS. This is the best answer I have seen yet. But seriously, whoever had to marry Santorum would deserve a fucking Presidential Medal of Freedom or something.
Even though it's Rick Santorum, who I detest with every fiber of my being, losing a wanted pregnancy—and even more so, to have a child live for a few minutes and then die in your arms—is a nightmare, and I would not want to make anyone feel like their loss was less then tragic, even if only to them, so if they want to…
I think it totally depends on the field you work in. I was in publishing for a decade, and I never had a job that wasn't Monday through Friday, 8-5, and I often had flextime and telecommuting available. Now I'm becoming an RN, and I'll be working a random, ever-changing schedule of 12-hour shifts on days, nights,…
Nope: The Congressional Research Service says that "the weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term 'natural born' citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship 'by birth' or 'at birth,' either by being born 'in' the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to…
That's what I've always thought—yes, another country might award them dual citizenship, but as far as the United States is concerned, they are American.
I've never understood how that would work. There's no argument that his mother was an American, right? So how the hell would he not be one? As an American woman, my kids are going to be American citizens, no matter where they are born, right? If I had gone overseas on vacation and accidentally gone into preterm labor…
I think @KetchupFiend is referring to an odd phenomenon—Conservatives, especially the really hardcore ones, almost always refer to our country as "America," instead of using "United States." It's as if they have decided that the word "America" is more patriotic or better than "United States." It's been that way for…
OT, but what is 311? Some kind of "not as urgent as 911 but I still need an authority figure" hotline?
Taking little kids outside is EXHAUSTING, in my experience. My kids are just-turned-6 and 4, and it's only been in the last few months that they have been able to go out and play in our backyard without having me or my husband out there running around with them. Previously, they spent every outdoor moment trying to…
Promoted for "humorless didacticism." Anyone who can use the word "didacticism" to hilarious effect in an Internet comment gets the big thumbs-up from me. :)
