Maybe it’s my deep-seated hatred of organized religion per my upbringing, but Nick Gordon’s current GF comparing their relationship to his with Bobbi Kristina’s and then saying “Only the Grace of God saved me” annoys the crap out of me. I think the fact that his mother was in the house with them and she was able to…

Let’s not forget about the Native American “War Cry” controversy (which ended up offending both Native Americans and Indian Americans, including Kamala Harris who is half Indian), as well as her comments on Vietnamese people in her district, and her comments about Obama endorsing Harris only because they’re both Black.

That was my reaction. The therapist seriously breached his or her professional ethics. He needs to take his daughter to someone else. The therapist’s analysis, as reported, sounds remarkably superficial in any event in taking the daughter’s fantasies and desires at face value. Also, there isn’t one word about what…

I understand; your post was not clear so that’s why I (and others, I see) jumped to that uber-Freudian conclusion.

The only thing “wrong” with Sheldon is that he’s on the spectrum and he’s never had a single person in his life acknowledge that fact and help him to understand how he can relate to the world successfully. Once you know and care about someone with ASD, the show becomes absolutely unwatchable for how they (the show…

That would be just fine.

Welfare reform was going to happen with or without Bill Clinton. It takes more than the president to pass that legislation. He wasn’t the president I wanted but I was 8 and had no choice. He is Hillary’s albatross and she will never atone to your preference. She didn’t win the election, Trump did. Why do you bring up…

Joe Biden wrote the 1994 crime bill. Why does no one hold him responsible for any of the consequences?

How about making ‘like’ and ‘share’ mean two separate things? 75% of my news feed is stuff people ‘liked.’ If they wanted to share it they would have ‘shared’ it. No point in having both options if FB is going to share everything people ‘like’ anyway.

Anyone noticing that most of the liberal heroes right now are women?

All the bottles are still white, tho.

You could have gone that extra mile and pompously proclaimed that you don’t even own an idiot box.

Is “abusing semicolons to project the illusion of superiority” a white value?

It could’ve been you, Hill. I will never stop being sad.

I actually agree with this point. Having lost family members to the Holocaust—of one branch of the extended family, only two individuals survived the camps—I know that there is no rational conversation on this topic. The horror and the grief and the rage are so immense (and should be) that it seems obscene to impose…

I take exception to Winter’s Bone. That’s set in grindingly hungry, filthy, agonizing poverty, not the blue-collar stratum. Some of the characters aspire to be blue-collar; others have simply given up.

Unrelated to the suicide aspect, but I’m so tired of men telling women’s stories of being raped.

I saw that video with Maxine Waters and immediately thought of Shade Court. I am delighted by how much your column has influenced my life.

No, violence is abuse, humiliation and disrespectful to that little guy/girl.

As an ardent fan of Law & Order I support answering every child request with dramatic courtroom objections. "Asked and answered!" is just the tip of the iceberg. You can also try "Permission to treat as hostile!" when they're having a tantrum, "Badgering the witness!" when they're monopolizing conversation with a…
