Part of it is that the woman who plays FemShep is an incredible actress.

Vote better next time, Texans.

I did not understand the importance of cheese to the female of the species until I saw my wife laugh way, way too hard when Liz Lemon sings "Workin' on my night cheeeeeese!"

This has been coming for a while, if you've been paying attention to NC politics. There was a huge Republican landslide in the last election and now it's basically a righty government; they've been calling it "The Reign of Error" down there.

Say what you like about them, Aerosmith is a great oh I'm sorry that's Jennifer Lopez.

"Gurbanguly" is the new "fugly."

Why do we care what other people read and watch, again?

Hee hee! The duck poops on the floor at 1:00! Good thing there's a vacuum cleaner involved!

Why is this an outrage? The Turtles were created by white guys Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. White guys historically provide the voices for the characters in both animated iterations (there's an anime version somewhere, but it's a spinoff), with the exception of Shredder, who was voiced by a black guy. There are no…

Honestly I think it's because letting in legacy students is a financial decision—let in a rich graduate's kid and he'll give you money—and we have this weird race-blindness when it comes to the bottom line, as though poverty and ethnicity didn't have strong historical ties. I agree that it's inexcusable, I just think…

Ugh, that tell-all she published not long ago was just horrifically sad. Apparently she had another, simultaneous affair with somebody at the Pentagon, had an abortion, regretted having the abortion, and is just kind of bitterness embodied now. She made bad decisions (and Clinton's role in the whole thing is also…

Ya know, I and another straight dude went to that movie together because we both like Stephen Soderbergh.

She is indeed cut out. Although the movie is "based on" the story and there are usually liberties taken with that sort of thing, I agree with Meagan that it might complicate the narrative in interesting ways. I do think it's okay for Coppola to tell the story she wants to tell, since it's not a documentary.

Good for him, and good for you for a very generous write-up. This can't have been an easy decision (any more than ANY coming-out is) and it'll be nice to see American Christianity progress beyond the kind of thing Exodus represented.

*sigh* Look, I'm not here to impress you or anyone else. I apologize for being combative. It's a poor way to make a reasonable point.

I also thought this was particularly interesting: http://desiringdiscipline.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/hus…

They're RIGHT THERE. “He enjoys seeing the person he owns, his property, become the thing God wants her to be. It might sound weird, but that works for me.”

[/sarcasm] Those are all really interesting points, and much of it is new information. I will say that a lot of this sounds like it might fit pretty neatly into a (significantly less weird) sub/dom relationship, but Christians giving each other bad advice is always a pretty rich seam of awfulness. It is really, really…

Haha! Did you just say, "I know you are but what am I?"

Oh, good.
