HuffPo had a nauseating piece about how DiMaggio had a sad because his dad killed himself, so really, HE was a victim of his kidnapping and raping a teenage girl too. To paraphrase Omar Little, worrying whether the mainstream media will try to engender sympathy for a rapist would be like worrying if the sun's gonna…

I hope this one has a sustainable premise, rather than suffering from Showtime Syndrome, i.e. a good concept that starts to strain very quickly (such as how, after the first two or three seasons, "Dexter" ran almost entirely on every character who wasn't Dexter being an utter moron). I imagine with a writer with her…

I got my first post-grad full time job, just as money was getting tight; it's a really good gig editing in Washington, and I'm superexcited because the amount of time it was taking was plunging me into the depths of you're-a-fuckup-and-you-chose-a-useless-major. Sorry if I'm vaguely inarticulate; I think I spent all…

The psychotherapist's request for the man to picture... a vagina in his mind's eye was enough to make him vomit.

Am I the only one who wants a minor-key "Baby, It's Cold Outside" to accurately reflect the creepiness of the lyrics? I would shiv a motherfucker to hear Nick Cave and Sinead do a version.

So can we rename the Streisand Effect yet? I ask because I don't want to have to explain it to people who don't know who she is.

She's like Prison Harry Potter. I don't relate to her, she just asks the same questions I might ask.

Is Piper really supposed to be the relatable one? Boy, have I been watching it wrong.

I dunno, I would venture to say Scott Disick probably "sees" books rather than reading them.

I'm always mildly annoyed when someone refers to "the movie [title that is obviously that of a movie]." As opposed to what, the informational brochure "Place Beyond the Pines?"

I'm so glad he's recovered from his harrowing experience of harassing people.

Republicans' willingness to mess with capitalism if it suits their other needs.

I take their eagerness to invoke lynching/slavery/rape/the Holocaust in describing their poutrage as a tacit admission that there is nothing remotely comparable in the history of white male-dom.

[grips hilt of ancestral greatsword] Southern people who would like to remind us that BUT PEOPLE IN THE NORTH ARE RACIST TOOOOOOOOO! are coming...

I distinctly remember some people saying shady-ass things re: violence against Bush, but- BUT- they were always from the fringe and immediately disavowed. Meanwhile, Ted Nugent threatens to murder Obama on two separate occasions and Mitt Romney proceeds to fundraise alongside him.
