Right! Tiki Barber's face should just be used as the stamp of approval every time there's a story about somebody's husband being a pig. Of course he's there. Like herpes after a bad decision.

I agree, this is really unsettling and awful, but it sort of diminishes rape, don't you think? Was Teddy Bundy "murder-y"?

Maybe if it's used hyperbolically, but in this case the man has just confessed to rape.

I feel like using the term "rapey" is real demeaning to people who have actually been raped. Am I alone?

I think it is weird to drop $100-$200 on a blouse when your salary isn't going to be any more than $45k. Tops. They're working beauracracy in small town America. Most blouses are going to be picked up at JC Penney and TJ Maxx.

I have a close friend on the other side of the country who is also an author. She and I went to journalism school together (friends since 7th grade). Once, while I was out there visiting, her aunt-in-law asked us who our favorite authors are, given that we are both writer/editor types and have both always been…

I would agree that this doesn't seem to have anything to do with gender. I'm giving King's tendency to bring up other popular fiction a sideeye, but it's not because I think he's being sexist. The most popular works that King could reasonably see as his competition have been written by women, which is an awesome thing…

Is it just a coincidence that all those books are by women?

There is a difference between trashing and responding honestly to a pointed question.

"Is it just a coincidence that all those books are by women?"

She would never!

It would need to be someone from outta town, cause I think all the eligible and normal bachelors in Pawnee seem to be taken.

I always through the joke was that she has a rich, glamorous personal life that she doesn't share with the rest of the office. Like her Mercedes, or the fact that Ginuwine is her cousin.

The Meagles are very private people

It's always been my impression that Donna already gets a lot of ass. She's just too cool to bring it to the office. She keeps her professional and personal life separate. I've always admired that about her.

Get it girl.
