Re: water no ice

2 million dogs and cats are killed for fur each year in China and Southeast Asia. Much of that fur gets deliberately mislabeled and exported.

WHALE WARS!

I don't know if you mean that Madonna has over $100 million, so she can get away with kooky fashion, or over 100 million animals are killed for fur and food each year, so the one for her coat doesn't matter.

Q: What newspapers and magazines do you read, Sarah?

Some beautiful fuzzy creature took a lethal electric shock up the ass so she can look like a hair wishbone. Great.

At the pro level, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team is a pretty interesting/entertaining show (and available for free on the CMT website!), though the most recent season wasn't as great as earlier seasons. Not sure if there is a college-level reality show out there.

Off-topic observation: Devyani Khobragade is really beautiful.

Ha, I thought your hashtag was complaining about the pic, like, the lighting in that pic is so bad, even the bad lighting on Girls looks better than that.

Yeah, that picture looks like in was taken from inside a lamp and she's straining to change the light bulb.

This is election season in India, and change is in the air. As far as I can tell, frustration with Congress (corruption, inaction) has pushed voters towards the BJP (promises of rapid economic reform, with a side dish of social conservatism and Hindu nationalism.)

You're right.

I love PETA, and I'm not even vegan. They've got one of the best publicity machines of any organization, anywhere.

Good for her, really, and I wish her all the best. That said, there is far too much pressure on patients, female patients in particular, to be cheerful and upbeat. It is ok to be scared and angry when faced with a health crisis, those feelings are normal.

It would be more accurate to describe Priyanka as a Bollywood superstar. Calling her a former Miss World is like referring to former Miss Ohio Halle Berry.
