Oh Jebus, no kidding! I once considered renting an apartment—light-filled, airly, and gigantic for the price—but when I found out the previous owner had lost his pet snake in the apartment I was done done done.

Is there a specific type of science degree or animal handling background that would set one candidate above the others in hiring potential for a zookeeper job? I'm thinking of my teen stepson's career future. He LOVES animals but has been told (by teachers trying to motivate him apply himself with more vigor) that…

Yes they are hideous BUT they do serve a purpose for working people on their feet who need a washable non-permeable shoe. Chefs, healthcare workers, chemists love them. You can't hose food/biohazards/chemicals off your leather shoes with the same ease. That said, I totally do not understand the fleece lined Crocs.…

Joke or maybe some kind of click-for-malware scam? Has anyone checked out his website? I'm afraid to look...

Does SF have cameras on buses like some Seattle metro? If so, police might be able to ID that scumbag piece of shit before he really hurts someone.

Demonicillin? Beelzebuboxil? Luciferizole?

Exactamundo. Campaign finance reform and big lobbying $ out of Washington and we might actually have a government that supports the general welfare of its people.

Erm...yes? Sung to the tune of Not Fade Away: I'm gonna tell ya how it's gonna be. PAT PUH PAT PAT. PAT PAT [aggressively patting your dog] You're gonna get your fur on me. [harder this time] PAT PUH PAT PAT. PAT PAT I'm gonna lint roll night and day. PAT PUH PAT PAT. PAT PAT I'll never clean this fur away. [Repeat…

Yep, just imagine: clean clothes when the mailman dares to approach the door, clean clothes when a squirrel run across the fence. Clean clothes when the cat gets too close to the favorite chew toy (CATS DON'T EVEN LIKE DOGGIE CHEW TOYS, DUMB DUMB! I thought border collies were supposed to be the smartest breed ever. I…

Here in Seattle it's call "The Macklemore."

The real holiday-related war isn't on Christmas; it's a war on November. And Christmas is the aggressor.

I'd like to see a GOP hell house showing the logical progression of Republican policy: shocking economic disparity, ecological ruin, endless and intractable foreign wars. I could go on and on and on.

Could some tech-savvy someone please oh please set his adorable side steps to Latin dance music?

She was Lord Byron's only legitimate daughter and referred to herself as a "poetical scientist." Very interesting woman.

"That's almost as misguided as protesting Wal-Mart's klepto-capitalism by barfing blue Kool Aid all over an elderly greeter earning poverty wages in Omaha." Every time I find myself smiling here at some nice turn of phrase it's your writing. You make it easy to laugh at evil, a welcome relief. Thanks.

How's this for a pitch: Troll Call staring Rachel Dratch, a behind-the-scenes Hollywood, Curb or Maron-like comedy about a brilliant comedian/actress swimming against the the Hollywood beauty stream and chronically besieged by an evil internet troll who continually criticizes her appearance. In the course of her…

"All cultural appropriation = bad" is a profoundly ignorant, short-sighted, and parochial view that disregards the importance of cultural and artistic exchanges throughout the ages. The author's strident and callow voice is ever-present in the blogosphere and typical of an Outraged Millennial, a generation laughably…

Shockingly insensitive. I'm not a fan of morning "news" programs to begin with and Lauer is a especially appalling. Trayvon's parents retain their poise and carriage despite his awful questions and Ms. Fulton's point, in particular, bears repeating: How exactly ARE young black men supposed to navigate safely through…

When she's at ease she's entirely credible! Her discomfort and impatience with cross examination (which jurors misread as lack of credibility) was the fault of the prosecution. While witness coaching for the purpose of shaping misleading testimony is unethical, preparing a witness for the emotional gauntlet of…
