Headed to the Garment District now with a squirt gun full of French's...

I can't agree that that's mustard. Mustard has less red, and more brown.

marigold?

I know that hosting awards shows is probably a "hard job" in the sense that it's tricky and requires a lot of energy and focus and the ability to look very spontaneous while being very rehearsed, but there are some jobs where you just don't publicly say they're hard jobs, because there's no way that saying such a

Thanks!

You sound like a very empathetic person—hopefully reporting this story will have a positive effect at least in that it will draw the attention of other kind & concerned folks who can rally around her.

It's tricky to say the media is invading her privacy in this case, when her mother issued a statement on Facebook. One could say that her mother is showing insufficient respect for her privacy, but perhaps this is something they discussed? To me this is all part & parcel of the crime and the aftermath, and draws

Yeah, I think that was a Giuliani initiative, wasn't it? I remember him being criticized for it (and generally speaking his attitudes/policies toward the homeless were pretty monstrous, so it's not like he didn't deserve some criticism) but in this case it seemed fairly pragmatic and not unfair. So many homeless

I don't know how it serves them to have it not reported on. Wouldn't this only increase their sense of having the crime swept under the rug? Even not speaking to the larger ethical question you pose (though I'm honestly not clear on what breach of ethics is perhaps being committed here) Melinda Coleman apparently said

Ha! Thanks. I like to bring her into a conversation whenever I can.

Oh God, I'm so sorry.

That's not creepier, it's just sort of impersonal. Sort of like when Sean Young showed up at Tim Burton's office dressed as Catwoman and slithered around everywhere, it was more personal than having her agent set up a meeting, but also creepier. Match profiles don't typically make random women on the street feel

THIS picture seems disconnected. I mean, it doesn't even look like they posed together and took 5 photos and composited the best of each into a single image. It looks like some of those kids were in completely different places.

It does matter. Context matters. The blanket rule "never talk about candidates' offspring" doesn't make sense in every context (for example, when DeBlasio's kids were in his campaign ads, it was of course acceptable to talk about the ads). If Romney wants to protect his grandchildrens' images and privacy, I think

She's talking about a photo that Romney tweeted. She didn't steal his camera and upload his private photos in secret.

Whoa whoa whoa. Look at the granddaughter in the right of the frame, holding the baby—are some of these kids photoshopped in?? Or are they just posing in front of a fake backdrop? Forget about the kid on his knee; this photo looks WEIRD.

No, creepy for sure. Now, it might not be malignantly creepy. He might just be super-awkward and an essentially sweet person. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt there. But the thing he's doing is really creepy.

He was sort of famously a dick for a very, very long time, but apparently has mellowed and become kinder in the last decade or so.

Half of these men aren't even 50 yet!

Yes...not to diminish the awesomeness of that character, but the Jack McCoy-lovers are johnny-come-latelies as far as Sam Waterston is concerned!
