What I'm thinking is Bernanke is waltzing out right before the debt-ceiling shit-storm.

I agree that a menstruating vagina shouldn't be shocking.

You can't see the Hello Kitty, she can't see the Hello Kitty, why would anyone want to be so subtle with their love of Hello Kitty? The way I see it, you have to go big or go home:

To her credit, she looks a lot less dead in the eyes recently.

Ain't nobody got time for that!

I actually got "offensively inoffensive" from another Jez commenter. Last time Hanks was mentioned I posted, "Fuck Tom Hanks." It was met with a lot of, "wha...?" but someone else got it and coined the phrase (or just used it appropriately, either way, perfect).

I can't stand Tom Hanks. I find him offensively inoffensive and it... I dunno, it just bothers me.

Yes! This! People try to pass off P&P Darcy as a guy who treats Elizabeth like shit and then magically turns into a good guy through the sheer power of her love. P&P Darcy is not a sociopath (Heathcliff/Wuthering Heights) and he's not a stalker (Edward/Twilight) and he's not emotionally or physically abusive…

Yeah, I hope so too. She used to be so alive and silly and energetic and now it just seems like there's nothing in there. It's probably the medication.

When will people learn that humor is objective?!

So, Julia is the name of her Inner Goddess, right?

This morning I made a piping hot cup of disappointment for my husband. Rich black disappointment, tinged with regret and a sense of impending loss, served piping hot with two sugars and some cream.

“You women read all these magazines to get advice on how to keep a man, and it’s so easy,” he says. “We’re not complex. Just do something nice for us. Like make a sandwich.”

The whole media circus/public mourning around his death is puzzling to me - I don't watch Glee and don't have tweens/teenagers who do, but the coverage of his death seems disproportionate to his actual work as an actor.

Cory Monteith's death was sad; but his very short and limited career in television hardly warrants a special tribute at the Emmys.

I know, sour grapes. "Dude, your dad died—get over it!"

We don't even need to have sex, I just want to sit and look at him for a while. And maybe have him read to me.

Here's the thing that boggles my mind. In his theology he is just as traditional and conservative as the old pope.
If you read everything he written he is on the same page as Benedict.
He's just being more vocal about the fact that god is the only one who gets to judge.
Which although that idea is often ignored it's not…

These are all very nice platitudes, but I'm not seeing how he's saying anything particularly revolutionary. I don't think a previous pope said "WE HAVE TO HIDE IN TRADITION!" But since that's the vibe many laypeople feel about the church, saying the opposite of that seems revolutionary. It's like when politicians talk…
