The One True Use for those sheepskins is cat beds. OMG, my cats bliss out on those things. They think they're back with their cat mommy.

I read that book about a year ago (I'm well into being old) and was totally amazed by it. How it isn't standard reading in more high schools or colleges is beyond me.

"Way before your time,"Alex said, as if excusing them all from missing the Scotsboro Boys question.

"Why do we need black history month?"

Because we don't teach it and I am willing to bet they never prepped for it either. This would be a good time to reference Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man

Definitely love that Alex tried to give them an excuse for not knowing about the Scottsboro boys. "Before your time". Really, Alex?

Exactly. Her feuding titties serve as a warning for anyone who does not have the same financial resources as her and who is contemplating serious plastic surgery. If this is the result she got with millions at her disposal and the resources to find the best surgeon, what the hell might an ordinary person end up with?

Would it make you feel any better if you knew that Beckham brought the subject up herself and the reporter simply asked a follow up question? Because that's what happened (if you read the complete text, this is clear).

As a fellow atheist I urge you to cease and desist because that sounds incredibly counterproductive to the goal of fostering secular public dialogue.

Hey listen. I have PCOS and at my worst point, waxed my hair every single morning. Yes, my hair grew long enough overnight to wax it off again. Nobody knew, other than my parents and nobody would ever have guessed, but overnight trips where I couldn't microwave the wax or camping trips where I wouldn't even have a…

I know we rarely pass up an opportunity for outrage around here, but if you read the actual article, it's clear that Beckham brings the subject up herself, the reporter simply asks the follow up question:

Why are we asking about her implants, exactly? It is obvious she had them removed, it is no one's business as to why. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.

Serious question—are you a teenager? You seem to comprehend the point of this story as much as I might have, if I came across it before I got some life experience or shame.

Right though? I couldn't even bring myself to wear shorts all summer because I'm self conscious about my legs. And what does that say about our society and the way we are taught to perceive ourselves? The fact that this lady has found a way to escape the self-hate we're all taught is amazing.

Death threats? Really? How can anyone be that invested in someone else's appearance? How arrogant - and psychopathic - do you have to be to think people need to consider your ideas of beauty or else die?

For shit's sake people, save your "well that's great for her but it's not attractive" comments, because 1) it makes you look like an idiot for missing the point completely, and 2) BYE.

Holy crap on a cracker, this is the biggest "missing the point completely" that I have seen in ages.

Same reason everyone uses Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings" to say "Look how sad this is":

I think the music for the programs should be assigned at random on the day of the competition. Someone gets Philip Glass, someone else gets Gregorian chants, another gets dueling banjos, and some poor bastard winds up with 4'33.
