A dinner jacket is not "hard to find" in most American cities.

Oh, is she! I didn't realize that, she looks quite a bit younger. That does put a different spin on things. Well, she's got to live with herself. As a black woman, I doubt I could be with a man who hated black people. She must be made of sterner stuff than I, or just be very, very practical.

A thousand times, this. She lives in LA. In that town reside many wealthy men, many of whom do not have a proven history of being horrible racists. Quite a few of whom would like the company of a conventionally attractive young woman who is not their wife. Many of them would be equally willing to be generous with said…

This is the part that just stuns me over and over again. The man was found guilty of discriminating against blacks and Mexicans in housing he owns. He's shown on these tapes that he despises black people. Yet...he has a girlfriend who is black and Mexican. There isn't enough WTF to go around here. And her! The love of…

There is a message board that I've been participating in for nearly 10 years. The main topic is names, but there are other sections dealing with news, real life issues, etc. At one point, several years ago, someone posted a link to a public birth announcement of someone's dreadfully named child. There was an entire…

Well, at least he didn't leave to take the call. Things have come to such a pass these days, I'm surprised at any minor restraint people show.

I'm old fashioned enough to shy away from wearing black to a wedding. I've got to disagree. If neither of the brides or grooms are wearing white, why shouldn't the guests?

"As long as retrograde assholes roam this earth, there shall exist a fantasy of an exotic locale in which otherwise average-to-undesirable men can use their social and economic capital to dazzle otherwise uninterested women into bed."

How bad are things that my first thought was "At least he didn't shoot her"?

What if you're already doing the right things, and can't get ahead? I just turned 40. Unfortunately, I live in San Francisco. The biggest money saving move I could make would probably be to leave here. Except....I have a job here, that provides me with insurance. I also have a chronic illness (rheumatoid arthritis)…

That cat is gorgeous. Is it a Siberian cat?

The shelter director is an ass. That was incredibly unprofessional of him/her. You did exactly what you should have done; please try not to feel guilty.

Fear not. One day we will be rid of these whores. Remember when Paris Hilton was all you heard about? Ah, it's coming back to you isn't it? So I can assure you that Kim and her family will (eventually) be spoken about no more.

Are you sure that first picture is a before one? They look rather.......(trying to think of something non-judgemental to say here)....oh hell, their faces scare me in that first picture. But in the second one they just look like two average people.

When you put something out in public, you have no choice of who finds it. That is simply how things work. So, while you might not "mind cool plus size people finding" your tumblr, those aren't the only people who are going to find it. Why? Because it's public. If you want to choose who sees your tumblr, you need to…

There are two 'Shift' keys on a standard keyboard. I find it hard to believe both are missing from yours. Using a search engine of your choice, why not look up when it's appropriate to use yours.

This, times a thousand. I find it kind of irritating to be honest. In NYC, where this woman lives, there are plenty of black, Puerto Rican and Dominican women with this kind of figure. But a white woman has a protruding ass and "Oh, we need to put that in Vanity Fair!" Please.

"But the thing is, some people are sticklers for boxed gifts - they're not going to contribute to a money registry anyway. Those who will give cash, will do so, and those who don't, won't contribute to one of these either."

Could you legally live in that? I mean, without putting major work into it. Because if there has been a fire, I'm assuming it no longer has running water or electricity. Also, parts of the building are probably unsound structurally.

The problem is, it's rude to tell people what to give you as a gift. There's no getting around it, that's just tacky behavior. You would not, (I'm assuming here) at Christmas time say to a friend "For Christmas, you should buy me this pair of earrings I saw at the jewelry store the other day . Here's the card for the…
