My dad’s a doctor and he would RANT whenever he saw House on TV. Just go on and on about how somebody like that is nothing but a liability who would cost the hospital millions in both misuse of equipment, tying up of labs, and lawsuits, and he’s have been out on his ass years ago in any real version of the show.

Hah, yeah. I was talking to my brother about this book on Saturday and he also made that connection for the first time. There’s a part in the book about him crying when Wallace was killed off and the other actors comforting him by telling him he’d get other roles. It’s pretty delightful.

Holy shit...I only just now realized that Michael B Jordan from “Creed” is “Wallace”. I literally never put two and two together.

If we don’t see a blue wave in November, if we even make it that far, we are witnesses to the collapse of western civilization.

That guy should have done a lot less Hemming and a lot more Hawing.

He’s not only a member, but he is also the President of the Cry Baby’s Club for “Men”.

Twitterer in chief  is a prime example.

Men sure are emotional and irrational lately. I think we need to stop letting them make statements, run things, and read the news until we can get a handle on what’s happening.

No! Don’t fall for it. He’s been throwing heart and love into his word soup since - good lord I can’t even remember which scandal it was... anyway since he realized everyone pretty much hates him.

Maybe, for a second, the clot moved.

This video should be shown to libertarians, followed by “this is what happens when corporations are no longer ‘tied down’ by government.”

They DID move most of it.

I am a woman (and a New Yorker, which may be relevant) and I interrupt A LOT. I need to watch, though, whether I do it more to women than to men.

It’s ridiculous and infuriating. Look, it’s a paleontologist and a “The Flintstones was a documentary” guy arguing over the fossil record and evolution! Fairness! Balance!

The answer to your questions are:

I call this entire ensemble the “What would happen if Rodney Dangerfield and a bloated, possibly mumps-infected Andrew McCarthy reproduced a fully grown man?” look.

Oh gawd my npd mother is constantly congratulating herself on what a great mom she was. My memories are very... different. If she wasn't yelling or hitting me, she was making me feel bad about time or money she had to spend on extracurricular activities. I honestly had forgotten how strained my childhood was until my…

It doesn't even have to be as severe as abuse. I'm a pretty successful adult, if by which you mean good job, happily married, great kid, no addiction or alcoholism. But my mom's tendency to minimize anyone else's emotions and make everything about her* left me with some issues as an adult - I'm extremely sensitive to…

I think sometimes abusive parents have a tendency to believe the lies they've told themselves about how wonderful their children's childhoods were. Particularly if their children turned out to be decent adults.

I'm sorry but this is bullshit. If you heard probably 99% of the pop stars these days sing live "unplugged" with no reverb or accompaniment I doubt it would be much better. Beyonce can't sing half as well. Mariah has some def vocal problems, wear and tear from all the riffing and over singing, but this is unfair…
