Same, first I thought it was some kind of boys club thing, something glass ceilingy. Then I thought it was some kind of weird celebration of your professional success (I don't need a wedding to buy a diamond, I have a promotion!) Now I just think it looks like mange.

Bill Clinton was a sleaze and the poor dynamic between him and Lewinski makes the whole thing disturbing. But compared to Obama, both Bushes, and Reagan, give me Clinton in a second. Fuck the office. And fuck respecting these power-hungry scumbags. If I thought Miley Cyrus was trying to anything except look edgy here,…

It smacks of trying to hard wordy. But on the other hand, I hate every single poem the New Yorker publishes.

Kismet is a great word. Kismetly doesn't quite work for me. But I am going to yield to KStew on this one.

The "Twilight" movies got sooo close to be going camp near the end. Never quite made it, though.

I watched the history nerd's version of "Titanic." There's a lot of fastforwarding.

Alzheimer's is sad and James Garner is an awesome old man, so that was mildly sad. The rest of it was meh.

"One waitress, Sarah Seckinger, plans to use the money to finish her degree in criminal justice so that she can become a police officer."

That's staggeringly well-adjusted of your friend to still have such concern for victims of abuse. Sounds like a very good person.

Yeah. I am a softy on individual soldiers in many ways — at least considering how much I hate the military. But that doesn't mean I appreciate being brow-beaten into praising them. The poor bastard they trotted out at State of the Union troubled me greatly. The problem with being too excited about soldiers is, as they…

Yeah, but people choose to join the US armed forces. So I am going to mourn the addicts first.

"Stupid" was a bad choice of words and was cruel. I can understand frustration tinged with anger over the loss, however. Especially coming from anyone who might have lost someone in that way.

Sure. I am not happy he's dead, I am just sick of the incredibly damaging cult of the military. Acting is a lot worthier than what he did.

Uh, those 3400 dead troops is also fucking senseless.

Some conservatives I follow on twitter were all pissy that PSH was getting more attention than the one year anniversary of the death of that sniper dude who got killed by a fellow soldier while they were at a gun range. Sorry, I am much more upset about a great…

King knows. Wasn't he a raving coke head and alcoholic?

They can order a pizza or buy a house. "They" cannot give birth. What's wrong with giving ladies full props for that one?

OMG, mustache.

I don't plan to give birth, but if I ever do, it will definitely be just me and not the man who impregnated me doing so.

A couple "having a baby" is forgivable. But a couple does not "give birth."

Yup, I remember hearing that as well.

But she's a lady! And a Democrat! I can feel the woman power from here!

I beliebe you're correct.

Some years ago I was walking in San Francisco. I passed an old abandoned row house. It empty and boarded up, except that on the porch, neatly displayed, was a single Captain and Tennille record.
