I know right? Even just the first two words show that it cannot possibly be grammatically correct!

Because we all know, what's important in a politician and national leader is their body and how it measures up to the latest 21-year-old celebrities. Who wants a smart, skilled, passionate, amazing negotiator and leader if you can't imagine her twerking at a rock show? The most important asset for politicians today is…

"Tarantula Fuckathon" is a really good band name.

Okay, so Chris Brown is not my favorite person. But somebody revealing that they were sexually assaulted in third grade isn't time for snark, y'know? The fact that he's bragging about it just shows how screwed up we are when dealing with the issue of female-on-male sexual assault, and his coping strategy fell in…

Seriously? It's not like she's saying "I got raped by Depeche Mode" or something. Yeah, she courts attention, she masturbated onstage and did a music video with burning crosses and, whatever else she did, that weird black-and-white photo book. But a false rape story is beyond the pale. I have never heard that she was,…

He just doesn't want her to vomit up her stomach and let it digest food.

"I do not like strippers! I will not date any girl that has ever been a stripper. I believe that the only person that should ever see a womans naked body is only her boyfriend or husband."

This sounds like something from Cosmo. "Want to spice up your love life? Try lighting up the bedroom with a Sex Jihad (details inside!)"

Great, another thing to be neurotic about. "She went straight for the food bowl... is she anxious? IS SHE? OH MY GOD I AM A HORRIBLE PET OWNER AND I'M DRIVING HER TO NEUROTIC BEHAVIOR BY BEING TERRIBLE."

Okay, does the shot of what I assume are the SPOILER SPOILER DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK PLEASE AND IF YOU READ BEYOND THIS DON'T BLAME ME aliens remind anyone of that Twilight Zone episode "Eye of the Beholder"? I was wondering how they were going to do the fur and everything.

Agreed. Skip "It" and read "The Long Walk".

I remember reading "It" as a teenager and being pretty taken aback by the 12-year-old gang bang in which the young lady in question has not one, but TWO orgasms. I'm not sure if that's misogynistic or just plan WTF??!!??

I wore that dress in burgundy to a Jewish youth group dance in 1993. I think I bought it at TJ Maxx?

A woman I know (who is about 65) didn't come out until her children were 18 because she was afraid her ex-husband would use the information to take her kids away. A man I know (same age) didn't know how to classify his sexual orientation until his late twenties because he had always been taught that gay people were…

Jeez. I went to Nature's Classroom in 7th Grade. The worst thing that happened was a scary ghost story about a babysitter who starts getting these creepy calls... But then when I think about it everyone in my entire middle school was white.

Has anyone here ever worked as a bikini/ pasties barista in those little stands? I always pass them and wonder what it's like. Not as a personal career move, but just the day-to-day of it. Is it pretty much like being a barista, except the guys ogle you more? Or is it totally different?

I've never been cheated on in my marriage, but I've always kind of had a game plan for what to do if it happened (not because of my husband, because I'm neurotic.) I figure if it happened once and he IMMEDIATELY came to me confessing and apologizing and offering to do whatever he could to make it better, I would…

I've been vegetarian so long that non-vegetarian recipes are weird for me! Here are a few good blogs to get you going:

My husband and I spent two years on the opposite sides of the country before we could live in the same place again. We just celebrated our 6th anniversary and are still thrilled with each other. Keep the faith, it can definitely work.

Hooray! I have my fingers crossed.
