That was awesome and I am now going to choose my wedding guests based on their ability to do that for me. Guess I should start hanging around outside Broadway theaters and music schools to make some new friends... :)

Yeah, I wasn't advocating for it, just musing. It seems pretty clear that anonymity or lack thereof is not the central issue in the current lack of civil discourse. Sigh.

I always wonder what the internet would be like if one were not allowed to be anonymous. I have this idealized notion that it'd be hearts and flowers and mutual respect abounding... and then I read an article like this where Carlos Jenniro Paige, Jr has no problem signing his name to such a hateful, vile comment and I…

Seems a vestige of a by-gone era, when air travel WAS glamorous. This was before our draconian security measures and before airports were major thoroughfares. Now, the folks who glam up to travel just seem to hold up the security lines for the rest of us.... I take Clooney's rule in Up in the Air to heart and always…

I wouldn't look twice at you, or sneer at your cute outfits. :) My main objection is to the crazy dolled up women who then hold up the security line for a decade as they remove bangle after bangle and need 5 minutes to take off their complicated shoes. Look nice, whatever, just keep it moving. :) Also, I too wouldn't…

Fair play! I have never been interested in the meeting a guy in transit (perhaps I should be!) and the slim potential for upgrades for me does not overbalance by desire to be supercomfy and be able to move at a clip through the airport and security line. I think my aversion mostly stems from said security lines, where…

Really, that's true? Still not sure it's worth it, for me. I travel a TON for work and pleasure, and I'd rather be super comfy and able to move at a clip than doll myself up in hopes of an upgrade. But hey, YMMV. Just my opinion....

Oh Gaga. I instinctively distrust anyone who gets completely dolled up for things where comfort should be of a premium, like safaris or the dentist or, my favorite, an airplane trip. Every time I see women at the airport with 18 inches of gold bangles, elaborate belts, high heel shoes, club makeup, I think, why? And…

So what dim pretty boy are they going to get for Captain von Trapp? They can't even HOPE to find someone with the charisma and sheer arrogant hotness of Christopher Plummer (humina, humina) so it'll be interesting to see what they wind up with. I predict Nick Lachey.

Rob Delaney had the most hilarious and spot on open letter to Katy Perry re: that abominable song Last Friday Night. Enjoy:

Good for you. I completely disagree and it's not worth arguing since neither one of us will convince the other. Have a good day.

This makes me feel SO much better! I sing to my 6 year old chocolate lab all the time. Usually just changing the words to songs that are playing in the background to include her name/nicknames. The only real recurring song is sung to the tune of "Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon and features the lyrics "Nobody…

100% agree.

I assume you are referring to adoption? That still requires the woman to carry a child she does not want and become a mother against her will. So good try, thanks for playing.

I think more women (like me) who have had an abortion that was the easiest decision of their lives, with zero emotional fallout, no regret, and no guilt need to talk more about it. Pro-choice language is dominated still by the qualifiers that abortion is hard, a last resort, horrible, regret-inducing (and I know for…

Cosigned. As Germaine Greer puts it in The Whole Woman, “to become a mother without wanting it is to live like a slave, or domestic animal.” (from Caitlin Moran's wonderful "How To Be a Woman."

It's official: I am old. I literally recognized only Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.

OMG, I was just going to make the same comment, that maybe Dr. Burt is cursed with the world's smallest dingaling and has long thought that the women he's had sex with not feeling it or enjoying it was THEIR fault (because just like women not having boys, things men can't explain at the time are always the woman's…

I can't shake the feeling that something really dark and twisted happened to this girl in her youth.
