I was never sure if it was ironic or just, how we could not see The Colbert Report outside the US. Always blocked, just like any of our favourite shows from North Korea.

The whole point is that she does feel guilt before. She is so committed to Frank, but then it all turns to shit.

You are basically Claire's conscience. All of what you are saying, she feels. But she is in this dangerous, otherworldly situation and she has to find a way to deal with it. Long story short, she gets the hots on for Jamie, does what she has to do, verra much likes it, and then feels awful for all the reasons you…

I like that first photo, where even a skinny bod makes weird shapes. That's kinda cool.

So many hours of prayer... Was it because Jesus said she should quit, or because Jesus was on another call and didn't get back to her? Maybe because Sunday is his day off and he was getting a mani-pedi and her shit was so trivial that he couldn't cancel? Who can say? I'm not omnipotent.

I go on holidays a lot with my mum, because I'm single and she's the only person I could stand for more than a few days who also can afford to go away (because she doesn't buy $300 boots and cry poor). But it's hard enough to get her to take a nice photo of me anywhere. I can't begin to imagine taking her down an…

It is special to know you and Purm, even for a little bit from the other side of the world. Your story, which occupied all my afternoon, was so bittersweet. I was heartbroken but also so uplifted, and I am AWED at how brave you both are. Brain cancer is such a fucker.

And then poke him in the eye, cos you just know he's going to find fault with something...

Personally, it doesn't matter. I'm not in the US, so I can only empathise. A kid died.

Kara, nicely said. I read about Tamir Rice today, on the same page as the Ferguson decision, and I almost couldn't believe it, except I did. Jesus, why do all these cops shoot to kill with black people? Do they think they live in a war zone, whilst they probably are pretty pleased with all the freedom™ the US offers…

Yeah, in the same article it said that Honduras is the most dangerous country in the world, per capita*. That blew me away. So, who knows? Are you from there? I can't even begin to imagine coming from a place like that? (and a day ago I didn't even know it was such a scary place).

Meh. She's in it for the short haul and she's doing it well. Good on her. She gets so much free press, it's ridiculous. Notice how she isn't calling up the tabloids? She's got good game.

Ta! But I don't endorse it. The best thing about going hard as a motherfucker is doing just that.

I'm sorry to say I only think of those stats because around half of my high school friends were abused (we were all daughters of fairly young single mothers. Funny how we all gravitated to each other, maybe more mature than our peers?). I was one of the lucky ones, but I knew how easily my mum could have been duped,…

I only read about this in the paper today. My SO/DH/other smug abbreviation really does have the perfect response. I'm heartbroken. With all sincerity, fuck all the people who think domestic violence is "equal".

The more I read your comments... got next weekend free? Beers, chips and dip at mine.

I like ham! But I do not understand the reference... I'm so sadface. But also fistpumping your point. It would be a thing of beauty and righteousness.

Yay you! I'm so sorry you had to say that, but good on you for it, and we need to do more of it, I think. People hear the stats, but don't seem to appreciate that 1 in 4 survivor is right in front of them.

I'm late to the party (again? *sigh*) but this is the fucking comment of the year. I read it thrice. Go you!

Uh, if you please, I'm half way through the episode and on a ciggie break. No spoilers please!
