I see my son as the answer, too. When my mother was a girl, she had to help with the chores. Her brothers not only didn't have to help, but they bragged about it and made messes for her to clean up. Men like that are the fathers of our current generation, setting the example for how to behave. No wonder we are in…

I'm typically much more of a brunette fan, but Lady Edith (character or the actress) just makes me quiver in my chair. She is super-fine.

I definitely agree. I (a guy) recently started living my girlfriend and even though I do my share of the chores around the apartment (though to be fair, our 1 bedroom apartment is small enough that the cleaning is never that extensive), she notices uncleanliness a lot sooner than I do. She will feel downright…

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this. But for serious, if you had fucked John Mayer, would you admit it to the world?

Ooo, same here. Laundry, dishes, cooking? Check. But a dirty sink or floor or a dusty, cobwebby ledge? Invisible to hubby.

I wouldn't even call it backpedaling. This is more like realizing your bike is going down a bumpy road and then suddenly jerking the handle bars and pedaling it full speed into a lake.

"I'm Steve Kroft. Tonight on 60 Minutes: Ass Champagne Tastes FUCKING AWESOME. Later on, Leslie Stahl reports from Saskatchewan about climate change."

OH, another one worth checking out (if it's still up) — "Remember Me," a three-part mini staring Michael Palin (!!!). And yes, oh god I live for BBC holidays programming — Doctor Who specials, Big Fat Quiz of the Year, all the quiz show Christmas specials, argh.

Heh, it may've been me — I've been raving about Hola for like six months. ALAS, only the last two eps of The Fall Season 2 are still available — they keep stuff up for like a month, usually? But I get my weekly fix of Q.I. and WILTY and HIGNFY via Hola and omgIloveitsomuch.

Well that's the scientology (press kit) I know and love. Okay then!

For real, I would enjoy that immensely.

All while being videotaped, yes?

Matt, quit making burners to post about how hot you are. We've discussed this.

I almost didn't recognize her smiling — the last few things I've seen her in (Hannibal, The Fall, Bleak House) she's had a pretty consistent sang froid thing going on, if not straight up dourness.

Is Wiz Khalifa doing some performance art thing, or is he fifteen years old?

I know you're a flash in the pan troll, but that's generally not this site's agenga.

I want to star your post a hundred times.

YES, yes, yes. The only way that we're going to have real equitable division of household labor is if we teach boys from the start how to identify things that need to be done and how to do them properly, the same way that we do with girls. It's a real uphill battle trying to teach it to grown men who weren't taught to…

Any excuse to link to Pat Mainardi's Politics of Housework. Read it, you'll like it. An excerpt:

Oh my god, I never realized how much my cat looks like Angelina Jolie*.
