@Zombie Ms. Skittles: well, i used to buy my skater's hose at the sporting goods stores where they sold skates. not sure where the hooter's ladies go!

@hortense: I remember this too. It seemed like it was just talk.

@rodmanstreet: i agree with you there. a woman's looks should have no relevance to whether she's considered funny.

@rodmanstreet: because TheUptightMidwesterner is trying to point out the absurdity of Tom Shales arguing a woman can't be pretty and funny at the same time? She's not arguing you have to be both, but that pretty ladies can be funny too.

@Stacy Davis: Here is the post that was up yesterday first thing in the morning: [jezebel.com]

@Lymed: Yes, and I'm hardly going to applaud the complete demise of civilized debate in favor of just shouting crap at the person speaking. It's entirely unproductive and childish behavior from grown adults. The August town halls were just exhausting for that very reason. The whole yelling over the speaker bit we…

I was in Amsterdam with 5 other college friends: 4 guys and 1 girl. The guys got a little ahead of us while the other girl and I were talking. A bunch of random guys started trying to pick us up as we walked. We got a little nervous about the unwanted attention in a foreign country and sped up our pace to catch up…

@tomboygirl: After 3 years in DC, I'd almost forgotten what cat-calling sounded like (happens, but more rare). Until I moved to Miami.

@Penny_Esq: from what i understand, there is no restriction on the mother continuing to teach her daughter these beliefs after school hours nor on the child practicing her religion. so i'm not sure how the court is actually impeding her excerise in an unreasonable way...

@Princess Leela: but custody is more complicated than that. the mother had physical custody, but they shared decision-making. if the father shared the beliefs, the court couldn't just jump in and force the kid into school. but the parents disagreed so the court had to make a decision. i'm sure the mother can…

@greengrey: that was my first thought.

Realizing it's not a good idea to try to cuddle with my laptop screen...

@RisaPlata: you'll never take my mullet!

@morninggloria: Oh no, the chupacabra is real.

Fellow feminists, I'm really confused. Are we sluts or are we prudes? I just want to know what stereotype I need to adhere to!

Double post.

@kookla: Likely for domestic violence. Society, and too often our courts, view domestic violence in a different light from assaults against people you are not in an intimate relationship with. Many cops will not automatically arrest a batterer where they would arrest the guy who started a bar fight - because "it's…

@kookla: I think people would stop focusing on what he's wearing and his career if he'd just stop talking and go about making his amends. This is hardly the first time he's talked about it. There have been statements from his reps and that ridiculous "apology" video he taped. And now this clearly calculated…

@greengrey: My bug bites never show up until the next morning, sometimes up to 24 hours later. It's a bitch, because I never know how much I'm being bitten until it's too late.

@Harlot Brontë: Yes, this. I wish I had the power to promote your comment.
