This is actually helpful. Your King James reference causes me to ask, can you help re: Casey Kasem's wife throwing raw meat at her stepdaughter? She made a biblical reference that didn't seem to make sense. Do you think she might be Pentacostal? (The story is on Gawker and other news sites.)

The policy teaches gay boys that they are not fit to be leaders. It's not about the troop leaders. It's about teaching gay boys that they are inferior. That's the message BSA wants to teach their young scouts: If you're gay, you're not fit to lead.

Sure, if there were a need to encourage boys to lead discussions, make speeches and take leadership roles. Here in America that's not necessary for men at colleges with both sexes. Men take on leadership roles and dominate discussions just fine.

Perfect. At my women's college, it wasn't about teaching styles (this article sounds completely crazy). It was about ensuring women were the ones leading the discussions, making the speeches, taking leadership roles both academically and socially.

Oh man, that is a brutal joke.

I like to think that the cat protected the kid, chased the dog all the way off the property, then came back to check to see if the kid was ok. Then probably went back on patrol for the rest of the day, hissing warnings at any canine that came near. That is a great damned cat.

God I love that the cat keeps chasing that dog's ass even after he's started running away. The secondary shot going around the back of the SUV is great. Team Cat!

It's silly good fun. They rescue the prince. The use the song "Unbelievable." There are some goofy lines that my daughters and I still quote at each other occasionally. The animation quality isn't great, but we didn't care.

There is already a series of Barbie movies. They are direct to video. The quality varies, but they pretty consistently seem to be about problem-solving, empowerment, teamwork, and persisting through adversity. They're on the approved list for my daughters. They could use more diversity, especially in body shape. And…

It's not just that, though. They believe gay boys shouldn't be taught that they can be leaders. That's that the policy means. BSA is just thoroughly shitheads.

I'm a mother and have two kids and am in my 40s. Dear Senator, please clarify, am I supposed to not have sex with my husband? Or just keep on having kids until my body gives out?

That was fantastic. I hadn't seen it before, thanks.

The Academy sandbagged her - the orchestra was offsite so she couldn't communicate with the conductor; the orchestra was playing at a faster tempo than the song calls for, and it was a shortened version of the song. Not to mention the botched introduction. It was a terrible performance, but she had a right to be angry…

All of this plus his photobomb of U2. It was Bennie's night, and we all were just riding along.

I went to that bar in Playa probably 15 years ago... no idea if it's still there. If I'm ever in the area again I'll look in Akumal. Thanks!

We each ordered a drink and thought they'd charge us for one. Instead they brought each of us two drinks. Two people, four pina coladas.

Oh man, I miss that bar in Playa del Carmen where the two-for-one happy hour meant that if you ordered a drink, they would bring you two. You could not get just one rocks pina colada. They would walk out to the beach, smiling, and hand you two. Ahh, and if you sat at the bar, the seats were swings and your feet were…

I love this, except for a fundamental issue: I didn't think he had to get Rita to fall in love with him to break the curse. He had to learn to live a perfect day. Rita falling in love with him was a bonus. She fell in love with him in a lot of those earlier permutations, didn't she? He just kept getting closer and…

These are my rescue guinea pigs. Got them from the shelter, in a little room away from the dogs and cats. They are totally psyched to start agility training.

Oh man. So sorry about your husband.
