If/When Claire gets back to the 20th century, how will Claire be able to look at Frank and not see Black Jack?

Read the books, have not seen the show (don't have Starz), but heard they were going to change things up with the Frank parts of the story. And I have to say - I approve. Heartily. Book Frank felt like a cardboard cutout of a husband more than an actual human character. I had absolutely zero compunction about…

It's even funnier that (as Jon Stewart pointed out on TDS) in the same damn show, he got all faux outraged at OBUMMER for the latte salute because it was 'disrespectful' to our men and women in uniform.

Her biggest role and the most famous line from the film. It's like wanting Aaron Paul to yell, "yeah bitch!" Or Matt LeBlanc to say, "how YOU doin'?" The only reason it's offensive is because of the storyline of The Help. If the line was from a movie where she played a high-powered executive, nobody would've batted a…

The Viola one is a bit of a reach; that is her best-known role, after all. Personally, I still think of her as that mean lawyer on one of the Law & Orders.

Yolande Betbeze, Miss America 1951, refused to pose in swimsuits after being crowned because she wanted to be taken seriously as an opera singer. Having spent the previous years of her life in convent schooling, posing in a swimsuit was heretofore unheard of for Yolande. After winning the Miss America title, Yolande…

But in the context that it's given, aren't we supposed to think it means something bad or mean or notable in some way? I mean, she emailed them from Spain to tell them this!

Miss American 1937 sounds awesome, like she just wanted to prove she could win and didn't give a damn about being their show pony

I know. I can't imagine my son/daughter being forced against his/her will to memorize information in a short period of time, pick up people from bars, and get poked by cold forks. The horror.

In her original article and here, Erin very clearly outlines that the point isn't that Miss Americas should have "perfect pasts," it's that the Miss America Organization has a pretty ridiculous definition of what constitutes bad behavior. This sentence makes that point TOTALLY clear:

I don't know if it's a big deal, but I could barely finish reading the description of hazing activities, because all I could think was: no one is forcing you to join this group of insta-friends.

The hazing is fucked up, but not quite as fucked up as putting a bunch of women in a degrading pageant where they're ranked against each other and scrutinized on every aspect of their physical appearance. So I get why Miss America wouldn't have a problem with it.

So uhm...hey, why do people willingly put themselves through this kind of thing? I remember at my college, sorority pledges were made to walk around campus all day in tight fitting black dresses and heels, and it was obviously very hot and uncomfortable for them. One girl I recognized from high school groaned "I…

We stayed up countless nights in a row making the perfect paddles for our 'big sisters' — and when we gave our bigs the paddles they put on an act to make it seem like they didn't like it after we spent so many days (and money) making them.

There is no better competitor than Ohio. SHE WAS ROBBED.

We wouldn't be in this scandal situation if they'd have given the crown to my imaginary BFF Miss Ohio:

I read this entire thing in Garrison Keeler's voice. He gets all the accolades, she get's all the mockery, but it's the same damn thing.

This whole list reads like one of those "everything I need to know I learned..." posters. And not one of the particularly good ones.

What in the fresh hell did I just read?
