@cait98: The "so what" is why should anyone give him credit for having publicly apologized? You beg Jezebelles to give him some credit, but I see very little reason to do so. I don't think a scripted, vague apology is anything close to sincere.

Gorgeous, Jenna! Upon reading your essay, all I could think was how I'd love to see some of your work. Way to read my mind!

@cait98: you don't at all suspect this is a highly orchestrated PR move? someone else wrote those words or coached him about what to say because, i dunno, he's worried about his career?

I'm ridiculously jealous of the summer vacation those girls are getting. My family's yearly drive up to Niagara Falls was not nearly so worldly.

I read this article this morning. I don't know if she saw the end of the movie, but Dorothy asked the wizard to send her home. She already had a heart, brain, and courage. But apparently she was supposed to ask for a gold star and a raise?

@spamanda: that explanation is a little too much blaming the victim (the cuckolded spouse) for my tastes. surely it means there's a problem in the relationship that needs to be addressed, but the cheater doesn't get to absolve him/herself of agency for the decision to cheat just because s/he doesn't feel s/he got…

@pear.shaped.Sara: @Penny: can i come too? i'll bring the w(h)ine!

@wednesdayam: i just rewatched this version - my favorite! though way more singing than i remembered from my childhood.

@Giant Squid trumps all: The Cheesetique is possibly one of my favorite places in DC, my friend!

I feel like I heard about that Alito statement 2-3 weeks ago. I don't know why it didn't get more traction in the media, since he's basically saying the same thing Sotomayor said.

@BellaNotte: you can sue someone for anything, but it doesn't mean you'll win. i can hardly imagine this case against Miley lasting long.

Ladies and upstanding-DC gentlemen, I'm moving back to DC next month and I've always wanted to attend one of these meet-ups. So....that is my suggestion.

@Majrhoulihan: i haven't watched this season at all, except for the replay of the finale last night. all i know is shawn's freestyle was really fun and melissa's was a little too mechanical. and that super hot guy is super hot.

@Ann.in.the.middle: yes? why should the guy be held to a different standard?

@BAngieB: sentencing guidelines are intended to impose some consistency on crimes, so that judges don't just sentence people based on emotion. See The Lonely Tourist's point: "Well, what if instead of being an honors college student, this girl was a homeless drug addict?"

@AuburnPonytail: so. jealous. i just signed a lease at a new place that doesn't allow cats. i cry myself to sleep at night. a dream deferred, my friend.

@newyorkette: no, at least you could see. if they do it in washington square park, they put chairs in every spare space they can find and you end up sitting in some really weird places.

@dj_chick: i believe those are law student's graduation robes. they are pretty awesome, although the hats were really weird and floppy.

@newyorkette: I am so freaking jealous! My graduation from one of the NYU grad schools was not nearly as awesome.

@deitybox: that was part three or four of the runway show. but yes.
