"independent journalist"

Mostly what the world needs is fewer rapists and people who make apologies for them.

She has had to live with the "it wasn't real rape" comments her whole life...from women.

The grape crush is probably a reference to grape "drink" - a Dave Chappelle standup bit that a lot of people completely miss the point of:

Whichever. Just so long as he picks me up in the Jag, it's all good. :)

I don't see what's so unbelievable about it for those guys. I'm a relentlessly hetero dude, and I'd probably do Tom Hiddleston. He's suave as a motherfucker.

So help me god, I read "bocce" as "booze." And I thought booze sounded like a friggin' AWESOME idea.

In my experience there are a lot of people who care about sports only socially, if that makes sense.

As a man who couldn't give a fraction of a fuck about pretty much *any* sport, I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, but still - oddly - in the same damned boat.

I remember reading an article about him back then in Time. The writer referred to him as "shockingly handsome."

In the AMA, he says the larger of the two is 7", while the shorter is about 6". If the info I have is correct, both qualify as "above average."

I have nothing to add, except that I initially misread that asterisk after "2.5" as a " mark and thought, "Oh...poor girl...that's too bad."

I have problems with the sourced whiskey thing too. I agree that outfits like Bulleit are deceiving people. Or take Pappy Van Winkle - in a couple more years, they're going to be completely out of the stuff that made them famous and just reselling whiskey from cherry-picked W.L. Weller barrels.

Last I knew, Bulleit is made under contract by Four Roses. You're right about Templeton and a lot of other of the hot whiskeys out there, though, as well as the ones in the article. (NB: I've heard tell that Templeton and George Dickel Rye are the same stuff, just perhaps aged differently.)

It's unremarkable (but decent) stuff from Heaven Hill. Same stuff in both bottles. It's well worth that price.

Their 1783 bottling is pretty good stuff, as is their relatively new white-label bottled-in-bond whiskey.

I don't disagree that guns were initially developed to kill other human beings. I don't know, however, that the "majority" of guns in private hands were designed expressly to kill human beings. It doesn't seem to be measurable with available data.

I'm a gun owner, and have had this argument with other more politically extreme gun owners. They often refuse to acknowledge that a gun is in fact a tool - one meant for putting fatal holes in living things. (Your "murder" characterization is totally over the top, however - you can't murder a deer or turkey.)

Sometimes being the bigger person doesn't work.
