Hoooollley shit. She didn’t even put his name on her daughter’s birth certificate?! AFTER she was asked to by the court?

A settlement may have happened but - point of order - the court obviously did “let it stand” as the award was entered against the company. I’m not sure of the jurisdiction of the case but from the above, there are no reports of revision or remititur prior to the company dropping their appeal so as far as the court is…

Given that the article states that Autozone is no longer appealing -

No, of course not, its just an aspect of it which may amplify the underlying sexism of the whole issue.

Me too! Sometimes I listen for it now when listening to TAM and he basically does it all the time. Not actually bothersome at all.

Fair call.

I agree. Also, I would take *meeting* Bowie over a guitar I could not now play because any playing might rub off the autograph.

If St V and CD are broken up, CD gives great parting gifts... St V just posted a pic of a guitar signed by David Bowie and notes it’s from CD.

Um, St V just posted a pic of a guitar signed by David Bowie and notes it's from CD... They're probs ok.

“for taking a life and injuring several others with both an award and a reality show”

Are we all done pretending Silver Linings Playbook is anything more than a poorly executed Romantic Comedy?

This all makes me so FUCKING mad. She was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, then accused of staging her own kidnapping. And they haven’t even said so much as “it appears there has been an unfortunate misunderstanding on our part” which still wouldn’t be good enough but would be something.

If we really want to talk about semantics, I think it would also be prudent to remove the “softening” noun before the word “rape”. Whether the rape happens to happen on a date, or within a marriage, it’s still rape.

Oh, I get it, you post a trolling comment, someone replies with a thoughtful answer so, not having got the response you were looking for, you post a different, trolling post. OK. Keep up the good work! -_-

Oh man, we have very different styles but I just moved to CA from Europe and I can’t agree more about being asked “what’s the occasion?” when I wear ...a long-line duster (blazer) and cigarette pants (or black skinny jeans!!) with derbies/ballerinas. Don’t even get me started on if I dare wear heels, or a day dress,…

I don’t get the hate for this guy. It’s not just an etiquette issue (which it is because you’re rudely rushing the slower-eating diners), but it’s also yet another round of interruptions from servers in the US, which are already at an insanely high level. I know I’ve been living in France where you practically have to…

So um... What other “civilized” nations have a 20 week abortion ban? To which other nations is McConnell supposedly aspiring?

Fuck yes, this.

Just because YOU have never heard of her doesn’t mean that she’s not incredibly popular. Not to mention smart and funny. The copyright violations may well be valid reasons to take down her blog; I’m not contesting that. But this is a loss to people who like to read smart women's opinions online and Jezebel is right to…

Yes, Coketalk is really popular. She changed her name to Dear Coquette a while back to be a bit more mainstream. She has a book and the greatest takedown of “Nice Guy Syndrome” I’ve ever read.
