I'm gonna reply to a bunch of the previous posts about the lack of plus size clothes (so apologies if you receive this more than once) because I'd like to know if anyone has ordered from this company: http://www.stopstaringclothing.com/sunshop/plus-size-styles-14-1.html. I just love the retro styles, but it's a bit…

At least two of the dwarfs on the Hobbit poster look they they were drawn in by DreamWorks animation.

My brother lived for a year in Finland, where almost every house has a sauna in it. So the cool teens would take a bottle of vodka, and pour it onto the hot rocks. Since the steam opened up your pores, it was like ingesting the vodka through a million tiny mouths. My brother said it was an "instant drunk." Kids…

I actually did post about the dresses when the original post with the show was posted (it's been a long day, and I'm easily amused), but I completely missed the earrings. And at first, I couldn't see the prints well enough to tell exactly what they were, but I felt a vague unease. Even if it is "blackamoor" as…

I retire from the field, awed by your maniacal fandom :-).

Huh? I agreed that what Albright did was horrible - how does that make her "beyond reproach?" I never said that politicians are beyond reproach - I said that you can't judge a person's entire career by one single act. Life isn't black and white; people aren't all evil or all good. And I cannot believe that in this…

Exactly! Mother Theresa let hundreds of thousands of people die in agony, but she's revered as a saint. You just never know.

So Obama is condemned forever as a monster because he's keeping Gitmo open? Nothing else he does, not health care reform, not repealing DODT, none of that can outweigh the fact that Gitmo is still detaining possibly innocent people in horrible conditions? Not to mention all the civilians that are being killed in…

I'm saying that she was a part of a government that she was not in charge of. We have no idea what went on behind the scenes, and to dismiss all of the good she accomplished because of one bad act is a very simplistic way to view her career.

I'm saying that to judge the entirety of the career of such a powerful and amazing woman by one act is ridiculous. You can't say, well, this person did this one horrible thing, and that means that any good they might have done is completely invalidated. We simply don't know the tiniest fraction of what actually…

I'm pretty sure that the whole reason they get Tommy to ask her to the prom is to make sure they can get her on stage for the whole pig's blood thing. It's the gym teacher who's the one that tries to protect her.

Who the hell looks at an utterly adorable little Corgi puppy and thinks "I know! Let's call him Dietrich!?!?!?"

This is the best version of this I could find. Watch the intro, then skip to about 3:20. It's about a year old, but still:

What she did was her job. She could have been seething inside as she said it, but she had to say it if that's what her boss, the POTUS, told her to say. And yes, she could actually have thought that what she said was right, and we could actually believe that it was wrong, but to judge the entirety of the woman's…

Considering that the only reason they wanted her on stage was to dump a bucket of pig's blood on her, I'd say no, they didn't really care.

I can't believe I know this, but evidently it progressed from walking pneumonia to full-blown, so they gave her antibiotics, etc., and sent her home. Not sure I understand why any of this happened, but if you can't trust a previous Jezebel post, what can you trust?

For a minute, I wasn't sure which one I was looking at either. Now it just goes back and forth.

Thank you! That was the word I was looking for. And considering that a "blackamoor" was basically a romanticized version of noble savage/slave, now I know why I thought it was offensive. Because it is.

Talk to me when you've had people looking for your horns and tail.
