That was beautiful! Thank god. It's about time. Does this mean that they're going to get actual equal rights now? Spouse benefits, the ability for foreign spouses to immigrate, death benefits, the whole shebang?

One of my best friends in the world just called me to celebrate on the phone! That was awesome!

I think you misunderstood. I am not disagreeing with you that that contradicts what she said in the deposition. I am saying that she said both, which means that she contradicted herself. She did say that she heard Paula Deen say something racist (the wedding), and she also said that she never heard Paula Deen make a…

Oh, I've done the mixing of words before, mostly with "asshole buttcanoe" and 'assGAAAHhateyousomuch". My choice of unintentional insults probably say disturbing things about my psyche.

I've never seen her show. I have worked in a lot of restaurants and bars and experienced really terrible sexism at one of them, so I understand that feeling. It would have felt good to see that guy get into trouble over it.

Al Sharpton described my feelings the best about how it's the current accusations that really…

She might not have said it in the heat of the moment, but that doesn't mean that she was upset when she said it. I have gotten so upset before that I lost the power to construct descriptive terms that I felt would have adequately described what I was feeling towards someone else and resorted to lame-ness not much…

Well, you don't know me. Let me give you an example that might be clarifying. I campaigned for Obama and it was one of the best days of my life the day that he got elected. I was obsessed with the campaigns. I would have cut my left arm off rather than vote for Romney, yet I still corrected people when they…

It's not intentional. There are inconsistencies between the complaint and her deposition. I was talking about actual lines from her deposition where she literally said that she never heard Paula Deen say anything racist. She did say that. I don't know what page it was. That undermines her own complaint against her…

Do you think I'm defending the use of the word? I'm not. I would never call anyone that and I never have and I never will, nor do I think use of the word even to discuss it is acceptable. People who are not black should say "n-word" or some other euphemism to talk about it. I think you misunderstood what I was trying…

I noticed that. She said that other people told her that Paula Deen had been racist towards them, but she said that she never heard Paula Deen being racist. I don't understand that. It sounded like she was undermining her own deposition, or undermining the instances she was saying other people had told her that they…

LOL, really? Now I want to see her show. I've never seen it. I did work in kitchens when I was younger, and hoo-boy, you can't be a sensitive person in those places. The talk tends to get racy and off-color a lot.

She said that she said it 27 years ago in private to her husband after a gunman put a gun to her head. It's an extenuating circumstance and she was younger. People do become more conservative as they grow older and more sensitive.

Have they been verified? Do they corroborate Lisa T Jackson's accusations?

When asked directly if she could remember anytime that she's used the word, she couldn't other than that gunman incident, but she didn't absolutely say that she didn't ever use it any other time. That's how I would have answered the question if I was trying to be totally honest, even though I've never said it in…

I was actually thinking about this myself. In that same situation, I wouldn't say it either. It wouldn't even pop to mind. Then I have to think what is the reason for that. My parents never cursed. I was raised around people who never cursed at all. It's not a word I heard outside of music lyrics. What if I had been…

Actually in Lisa T Jackson's deposition, the plaintiff in the case, she said that she never heard Paula Deen say anything racist, so I believe the perception that she behaves much different off camera is the result of our sensationalizing media.

She's an old lady, of course coarse language bothers her. My own father…

If it's true, yes, it is! I'm trying not to cast judgment until the allegations are corroborated by other employees. They frankly sound difficult to believe, and if they are true, then they're things that would be easily corroborated by other people. The plaintiff offered to settle for $1.25 million over a year ago…

What she said is consistent with what she said in her deposition, where she was she said the only time she could remember was when she said it in private to her husband after that bank robbery when the gunman put the gun to head, which no one would know about if she hadn't been honest in the deposition. Lisa T Jackson…

Oh really? Okay, I suppose that is different, but he still knows that he has "fans" of his photos online. I think if it was my son, I would have stopped with the public photos.

If he doesn't, that's practically child cruelty in my book. Kids should get to dress up in pretend clothes. Where's the fun?

Worse is taking his photo and putting it on a style blog. Walk-in closet or not, that's going to be most damaging to his sense of what is really important and whether or not he should be judged and judging other people on their clothes.
