Never read the WaPo comments! I swear the article could be about pies or kittens and the comments would be bizarre screeds about Hilary and evil liberals. The commenters are nuts....not sure why, but that paper attracts them

I’m really interested in how Serena Joy looks like Ivanka Trump. She’s the perfect, coiffed, complicit blond. I wonder if that was purposeful on the part of the producers? In the book Serena Joy is older and not attractive. It’s more interesting to see this young, attractive woman actively oppressing other women…

Yeah I’m 5ft 7 and at 140 I wear a size 2 or 4 which is small for our height. We all carry weight differently. Breasts can weigh a lot, which is part of it. I’m sure you’re perfectly health and fine. Eat normal healthy food and good luck with the pregnancy!

Yeah, I have a friend who is overweight on the bMI scale but she’s 5'6 size 2-4 and an exercise instructor who lifts weights and works out 3 hours a day. Muscle weighs more. That scale is so unhelpful.

At least she didn’t add a can of Campbell’s condensed cream of mushroom soup. That was de rigueur for a certain generation of cooks. Makes me think of my grandma’s Hamburger High Hat. Ground beef, egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, topped with crumbled ritz crackers and shredded cheddar.

Clearly Rep. Lee’s uterus is just wandering through her body, cutting off crucial blood flow to the brain and causing her to question the wisdom of cutting off healthcare to millions of people! When you have a wandering uterus you tend to have unreasonable thoughts like, “what will happen to society when there is no…

The pics are terrible! I don’t know what his team was thinking. But kudos to him for having the self-confidence to wear wacky non-masculine clothes and do all those weird poses. I kind of admire that he just went for it.

That’s too bad! Loved the book.

His acting career may have taken a dip, but he’s doing really great production work with his company, Plan B. They produced Moonlight, 12 Years a Slave, The Lost City of Z. They take on serious films that are too risky for studios. If he wants to star in a movie, he can produce it himself. Idon’t think he gets…

I keep thinking that we are in a tidal wave of history. No one, even very educated intellectuals, saw WWII coming. WWIII is coming, I just hope not to live to see it. History books will look back on this time and question how we were so blind.

Can you leave the Scientology church? It seems like one of those religions that never lets you go. My friend was baptized Mormon as a kid, and despite never participating, got mailings from the church everywhere she moved. And missionaries on her doorstep....unless they ex-communicate you, you can’t just resign.

Dixie Brewster is a great name for a fictional villain....just saying.

Did you have time to discretly spit on it...preferably while very sick with the flu?

It’s stressful. Millions of people are watching. You naturally don’t expect that they gave you the wrong envelope. Mystery solved.

I was picturing ornery Fox-watching grandpas buying 6 copies for their grandkids. Hopefully no-one reads them! (not even O’Reilly. He definitely didn’t write them)

He’s still number 1 on the NYTimes Nonfiction Bestseller list and his stupid books regularly dominate in children’s publishing. So....he’s not going away. People must love him. Sigh.

52 million a year! Not counting the secret service, which she would be entitled to anyways. And that’s not counting all the extra costs of securing “the winter Whitehouse” (ie. the Florida hotel weekend resort). This is the most expensive family ever. Since she barely ever leaves her apartment, I don’t see why she…

It’s by Ann Rinaldi. (don’t remember the title) She wrote a number of historical YA novels about enslaved girls. Not sure if they would hold up to contemporary reading, but I give her kudos for writing about slavery from the perspective of enslaved women at a time other people were not and Gone with the Wind was an…

To all you HGTV fans, let me introduce you to the superior pleasures of the British show, Grand Designs. Some of the houses are genuinely fascinating (renovating a moldy Scottish castle? a crumbling Italian villa? an 18th century pig sty?) and the host will straight out say if he hates the design or the couple. (I…

I think I’ll bookmark this video to watch whenever I feel lonely or depressed about being single or even slightly nostalgic about the cheating ex. There are far, far worse things. Nothing feels more lonely than being in a degrading, abusive relationship. Huma, sell your book and move on. Even if you never get into…
