Agreed. I think she meant exactly what she said for the reason you've stated; I also sincerely doubt that she possesses the educational background or depth of thought to know what sharecropping or peonage is.

This almost makes me want to cry.

I said it on Kelly's post and I'll say it here. Multicolored/big bulb lights are the only kind of Christmas lights.

People who put bows on trees can fuck right the fuck off. Gimme a tacky ass tree covered in 3 decades worth of accumulated family nicknacks and cheesy childhood craft ornaments and huge multicolored lights any day. This ain't the Macy's.

It all depends on what you want out of it. My attitude was that if I was married at the end of the day, I was happy. So really the only thing I truly cared about was if the minister showed up. The food, flowers, music, etc. were gravy. And I'm not blowing smoke here—my bouquet died because it had been delivered…

The basic presumption is false.

THAT I would watch.

Who was Carrie Underwood's runner-up for American Idol? Bo Bice? Bo Bice runs out to replace her for the remainder of the show.

Julie Andrews is allowed under the old Hollywood "all foreign accents are British accents" law.

Apart from breakfast, we also need to know what's best for second breakfast, elevensies, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper :D

I once went on vacation and shared a room with an old friend who, unbeknownst to me, had become one of these massively irritating "early risers". The idiot was up at 5am every morning, zipping around as if vacation sightseeing at 5:30 in the morning was a completely normal thing to be doing. It isn't and it wasn't and…
