I apologize. It wasn't that I thought she was seeking fame or money or that she didn't suffer terribly. I was more unsure about the idea that because there is a spotlight on a celebrity committing an act of domestic violence, talk shows sought out another celebrity victim of domestic violence. I was struggling with…

It wasn't clear, but my implication was if it were the latter, it would be a good thing. I had a question, and from the responses I've seen, the answer is yes.

I'm not sure about her role as famous domestic violence victim pundit. Is this a sincere advocate taking advantage of an opportunity to have a large platform to further a worthy cause?

This makes me think of when that Firestone heir was "The Bachelor" and confused his Olive Garden loving lady friend when he demonstrated that it was possible to both like Italian food and dislike the Olive Garden. It was so snobby and mean and accurate.

Surely you'll give her a pass for the one she had when she was 12? Also, that history points to at least the possibility of more going on for this friend of your sister's than just irresponsibility.

So problematic on so many levels: women's autonomy, race, socio-economics, mental health, a forced c-section ?!!, that poor 25 week old preemie. . . http://jezebel.com/ireland-denies…

Right? When I hear about children (some in single digit ages!) birthing their rapist's babies where abortion is not readily accessible, I cannot imagine how someone could consider it anything but profoundly inhumane.

I certainly don't think it's admirable, but, given her decision making skills, it still seems preferable to her having seven kids.

They "noticed some socks disappearing around the house." 43 socks is not "some socks". 43 socks, likely not all paired, should be a significant percentage of all the socks. How many people live in this house? What is their sock protocol? Just drop them willy nilly about the house and buy new ones as needed?

I don't know if you're referencing "Stand by Me", but I do think Goofy isn't a dog in the same way Hello Kitty isn't a cat. He looks like a dog, but he acts like a person and is acquainted with a dog who acts like a dog so he can't be a dog. Ditto Hello Kitty.

So jaundiced should actually be considered a compliment. Hold on, while I draft some sweet new greeting card ideas.

That would be a profoundly misguided understanding of feminism.

Do you think she misspoke and was going for femininity?

Sure batter and fry okra or hide it in a heavily seasoned stew and it's not unpalatable, but to get to the essence of its evil you have to boil and serve as my mother did when I was little. It's slimy properties are well known, but in this preparation you get to appreciate the furriness of its exterior. I usually just…

I hate these set ups. Am I giving too much? Too little? Will somebody come steal this after me? Think I did it? I need the guiding hand of TheMan to oversee my financial transactions.

I learned a lot just now, including a) what shark poop looks like and b) it's, apparently, delicious (to those other fish).

This is really undermining my belief in the so crazy it just might work pairings: Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett, Drew Barrymore and Tom Green, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson . . . Am I going to be forced to conclude that seemingly wildly…

Because of this commercial, there were multiple meetings where hairstyles, snouts, whiskers and the like were discussed in the context of which were more sexually attractive . . . to humans. That's on somebody's resume now.

This reminds me of when a friend of mine said "Oh, I want to be a prostitute!" after watching "Pretty Woman."

Why has Johnny Depp embraced lightly tinted lenses so wholeheartedly? Bono does it too. Is it to hide aging? Are they Transitions (TM) lenses? My mother wears Transitions (TM) lenses. She loves them. I love her, but would not use her as my fashion muse.
