They're so cute, it will be a shame when we have to decapitate them for the revolution.

This reply shows more condescension. People outside of the coasts mostly don't think of the coasts as any less American than the interior. You read something into the reply I didn't see at all. And frankly, Gawkerites, are, by and large, obsessed with three things: the rich, the coasts, and the Ivy League.

I find that most women use qualifiers when making statements.

I am the mother of a daughter who is, by every standard, fantastically successful at a very young age (under 30). The same is true of her husband.
Both had extremely mundane jobs on their resumes when they graduated from college (although they had some great internships as well). My SIL mowed lawns most summers. My kid…

You don't have to be rich to have horses. People who live in rural areas have them quite often. Because they grew up with them, it's just like having another pet, and they usually have a field or something for them to live on. They're not cheap, but they are by no means a rich person's thing. I know plenty of normal…

Can we banish her to outer space? Jesus, I cannot stand this woman.

"you don't need to open any of the jars for me. not because you are weak and feminised, but because i have big giant hands and strong forearms, now, do you want to complain, or do you want to eat pickles, because you can't do both."

If you don't like Farmers Markets, there is something wrong with YOU!

Why the hell shouldn't anyone like a farmer's market? What have you against fresh, fairly-traded, in-season produce?

cue the influx of morons who will defend racist behavior from non-whites simply because they think our history and the infrastructure born of it means we deserve to be made fun of. No one deserves to be racially mocked, even white people who like to preach to other white people about racism when they have no fucking…

Expected influx cancelled. Everyone opted to fall over laughing at the sight of social-justice warriors defending a guy w/a household net worth of $300 million+.

I think all races, colors, and creeds can come together and agree that Nick Cannon is fucking irritating no matter what he does, and probably should be hit in the face with a brick.

Cue influx of humanities majors who don't understand that racial stereotyping is an ignorant thing to do regardless of power dynamics in 3.... wait, it already happened.

One-way, apparently.

My group of friends and I have an ongoing Facebook message and text message. It's hilarious, sad, heartwarming and at times confusing. It's between 3 straight gals, one gay guy, one lesbian and one straight dude. Some parents, some child free, some married some single one asshole who's trying this poly shit.…

$150,000 on philanthropic consulting

Yes. The rest of the country like to perceive the South as another part of the world and thus weirdly exotic and primitive and more pure or whatever. We're culturally obsessed with the "backwards South" or the literary equivalent "Southern Gothic." Deliverance hinges on this and tons of other movies hinge on this.…

Also, this just smacks of urban, educated, liberal person wants to show how much they care and wants to be outraged about something. it just seems weak and silly. I grew up outside of Biloxi, MS in a middle class environment and saw all walks of Southern life and feel TD covered them all. Also, it was more a show…

I suppose William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Dorothy Allison, Richard Wright, Carson McCullers, Cormac McCarthy, Richard Ford, Larry Brown, Frederick Barthelme, William Vollmann, Truman Capote, Eudora Welty, Denis Johnson are all being exploitative and problematic too. What a bunch of jerks

I grew up in a poor town in Missouri, rather than Louisiana, but I think Salon's criticism is off. True Detective is a show about the ways in which rich white men who occupy positions of power have often abused that power at the expense of the marginalized, and then used their connections to erase that abuse from the…
