She should have been arrested for "endangering Patricia." This is just sad.

And we fell for it. I, for one, was tantalized by the idea of an epidemic of porn-laden computers in rectories across the country.

Where you been, Doug? Gizmodo posted on this almost a month ago.

Great picture of women looking pretty underwhelmed at being close to George Clooney—or maybe everybody's just sloshed.

The OP didn't say that the word "ghetto" should be struck from the dictionary or from use in conversation. She' referring to a very specific context, which most people are familiar with, of young white people saying "that's soooo ghetto" about anything they think is ugly or low class or "black" in some way. When…

A zillion x zillions of hearts for this. I'm so sick of explaining about intentionality, I can't even anymore.

That's possible, but I'm not giving her a pass. In your take, she either thinks Sidibe is stupid and has no idea that successful, overweight black women are rarities in Hollywood or she's pretty fucking condescending. I'm finding it hard to imagine the tone that takes the sting out of "get out of the business."

His corporate overloads will reward him handsomely in his post-political life—which we can only pray will come sooner rather than later.

I'm pretty sure that much of the Tea Party gets its steam from this anxiety about having a black man "in control," so it steams me when people keep insisting that the TP isn't racist. Do I think individual Tea Partiers hate black people? No. Do some of them have black friends? Probably.

She should ask one of the priests to be her date. Don't Catholics have to do good works too?

I clearly need to get off the internet:

Great idea! If we start raising them together now, we might have a Democrat and a Republican that can play well together in 25 or so years.

Maybe we all need to tell sheriff "flies who annoy the hell out of people" how perfect we are.

I can't speak to the timing (except to say that I wouldn't blurt all all of this out if you just started dating) but I think your issue still is exactly what the article is about. Yes, he wants kids, but he's not marrying just a womb. My sister had to have a hysterectomy at a really young age and was terrified that…

I can't really tell what point you are trying to make (multiple times). The writer's point is not that Beyonce is not "black" that there is a narrow range of blackness promoted as beautiful in U.S. popular culture. There is no question that the black women promoted as "beauties" by entertainment industry are one…

Noooo! If you ban cars, then they'll just move their action to the subways, which are gross enough already.

Perhaps you haven't been in a context where it would be discussed. Although most people aren't as bald-faced about it as the producer in the post, I've heard it everywhere from my family, to peers, to the place where I get my hair cut.

Maybe we've solved the mystery of Romney's running mate. The Kony2012 can get rid of the elephant/donkey necking poster.

Thanks to you and the other commenters. That made more sense than the initial article. And Redwing96's response made me a little nervous. If relationships are forbidden between upperclassmen and plebes, I'm assuming BOTH parties would be punished?

Follow up question: How many people seeing those signs will think somebody named "Kony" is running as an independent candidate in the US Presidential elections?
