I added a note about how the police seem to be charging the suspect with Winkler's murder, since he is the only one who died as a result of this incident. I'm sure our commenters with more legal expertise than me will weigh in as to how that works (the suspects actions led to Winkler's death, I'm guessing.)

Until, sadly, she took that $10k ring to the diamond district, only to be laughed at, though one guy took pity on her and offered to upgrade the stone for "only" another $500.

"I have no idea where it could be," said the dressing room attendant, just before slipping her hand into her jeans pocket again to reassure herself that the loop of diamond-encrusted metal was still there. Yes. It was. She smiled to herself. No longer would she have to worry about how she was going to pay rent this…

Not that I'm against the religious fundamentalism/capitalism overlap conversation, but my sense is that money alone isn't really the point here, but rather getting funds to pay for the "Birthing of God's Mighty Warriors" aka the Quiverfull movement (and that's not liberal hyperbole, actual title of one of the…

Yes, because literally making vulnerable and pregnant women fear for their life if they say anything is the best way to convince them to get help.

Here's an alternative read on the situation, which is equally supported by the facts in this article: The woman drank a lot of alcohol (drinks prepared by her), then smoked weed, didn't realize she had too much of one or both, and passed out. A man she'd had a sexual relationship with tried to initiate sex with her,…

why sadly? It's endearing and comes across as very intelligently written. ;)

Because then Jesus would have had the dirty dirty sex, and that would ruin everything!

You just have to adore Jimmy Fallon. He obviously spent so much of his youth worshipping the same music we all did to be able to keep all these cool homages NIGHTLY! He's truly a music lover.

Jeno, this comment reads as though you were on a lot of espresso when you wrote it. Love it.

The lawsuits would not exist if employers were not paying unequally. This is a self-correcting problem over time. Pay unequally, get sued. Stop doing it, stop getting sued. The lawsuit spectre is a weak counterargument because it would diminish over time as behavior was corrected and things were made fair.

Man, that guy has been pushing drugs for decades.

WHY is no one commenting on the fact that Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic introduced them? MY BRAIN IS ON FIRE WITH SO MANY PEOPLE I LOVE IN THE SAME PLACE DOING STUFF TOGETHER.

The idea that anyone doesn't know who Tom Petty is makes me want to cry. I learned of his existence when I was 10 (32 now) and have been a fan ever since.

"Disastrously unfortunate appearance." Did Ben Stein just call poor people ugly? Really Ben?

This is the most attention women have paid to you in a long time. Enjoy the rub.

Bullshit. As a women attorney, I am aware of recent studies that have conclusively shown that men make more than women with the same experience in the same area of practice.

Equal footing like, say, identical resumes submitted for a position with only the names changed? http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/25/sci…

White guy?

I think Retta's bit is hilarious precisely because it owns the racist undertones. It's taking a similar comedic device but making different commentary about it that's just funnier to me in its transparency.
