I get your point. I think the knee jerk horror at the 2.5 year sentence is that we probably all agree that a person inclined to behave this way is less likely to have his inclinations changed by prison. It's not like he was mugging tourists for rent money, which, while reprehensible, is behavior based on need rather…

Just put it on hold at the library :)

That makes me incredibly sad.

I'm 100% that person. My garage is like a small, selective mini-mart.

Let's see how the appeal goes first. A company this big, with a settlement this big? Definite appeal attempt.

Please come take some of my wrapping paper supply. EVERY YEAR I see it at Costco, think ‘Oh, I need that!’, bring it home, and add it to the mountain of rolls in my basement.

Lotsa hair products lubricating that sammich.

True story: Flip or Flop is my 7yo son’s FAVORITE tv show.

Noooo! I don't want this to be true!! I love how insane she is about door frames and original tiling, even though I'd hate owning one of her kitchens with countertops made out of doors. (Character is for the rest of the house- please McMansion the shit out of my kitchen!)

Shades of Affluenza Teen.

Honestly, 25 is pretty young. When we were doing our estate planning we were encouraged not to leave our kids in full control of the money until they were 35! At the time we were about 31, both professionals with a house & a baby, who had married at 25. We decided to compromise on 30. If they fuck it up at 30, that's…

My gp recommends this too!!! I just buy the probiotic pills. I don't need vag yogurt.

My 7 year old son does chess club. Not sorry. He'd probably love football, but he's never going to be a serious athlete, and he really digs chess. I'd rather support brain developing activities.

When my kids are at zoo camp in the summer I go jogging through the zoo. I always make a side trip to the red panda enclosure- those guys are so damn cute!! I get offended by the people I see who just walk by them without appreciating the cuteness on display- those are the true animals.

Granted that the stadium drones were thrilled, this isn’t Knoxville and most of the local population weren’t there. Meanwhile Abortion Football Jesus was e-ver-eee-ware. It was like living in the societal equivalent of a deep sea submarine under the command of Captain Queeg: the crazy started out looking harmless and…

People here firmly believe they are Mountain West, not Mid West. They are wrong.

I moved from the Bay Area, and the obeisance to the God Football here has been a lasting culture shock. Every other kid at my sons’ school has an $80 Manning jersey. The number 18 has attained totemic status.

I’m a transplant to Denver. The slavish devotion to Peyton is basically written into the local tax code. Today is a Broncos Colors Day at elementary school.

Can you still her complain?

I wasn't paying any attention to nominees, but having seen both AHS and Fargo, it's a vile tragedy that Lady Gaga won an award an Dunst didn't.
