You know what always gets me about these allegations? These guys can usually rack up a pretty high notch count on their bedpost without a drop of coercion. Of course, this means that this isn’t about sex, it’s about exerting power over others, but that doesn’t make it any more frustrating.

I still think police and politicians should face multipliers on their convictions, because they are in positions of power and we have no choice but to trust them. So if a crime normally carriers a 5 years sentence for a normal, powerless citizen, for a police officer or politician, it should get multiplied by 2.

But WHY would you make a baby’s head smaller? Bigness of head is one of our markers of cute.

I think it was from a piece of Craig Ferguson stand-up, but I heard somebody talk about how they ask themselves three questions before saying something: 

I don’t think that’s wrong. I just don’t think he is, either.

I don’t think what he said was offensive to that degree. Timing was really dickish but it seems like a worthwhile topic to explore. John Mulaney said basically the same thing in “Kid Gorgeous,” but it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular so was more of a good point rather than a mean dig.

His timing was terrible, though. I do think our culture really needs to recokon with this whole “a person who has no idea who I am and isn’t a close friend/family member IS SO IMPORTNT TO MEEEE” thing. Celebrity worship is a problem.

I don’t think Hammer is wrong, though. Some of it does seem like shameless self-promotion whenever someone else famous dies.

I do not understand using a raft like that in open water if it’s not tied to a boat.   It’s a fucking dumb thing to do.

Fire Rescue added that they also found a ballot box with ~15,000 votes floating half a mile away.

Juliette, I love you, but what is happening? Is a Thetan trying to bust out? Can you not heed previous pleas and leave Britney alone?  I need to know. 

...and apparently so did Lorde. whoops...

As gun owners constantly kvetched to Obama, “Why should ‘good’ gun owners have to give up their guns?” and here’s your honest truth: because society treats every gun owner as a ‘good’ gun owner up until the moment they start murdering everybody.

“‘Well, he’s got a good heart he’ll be fine. Just talk to him.’”

Children do stupid things but that doesn’t mean they should be excused for doing horrific shit like this. I would never have done something like this as a kid.

At least once, the culprit was a child who admitted to playing a prank.

It’s all fun and games until you get arrested for crossing the street with the wrong foot first while being black.

I’m happy for John and all, but BRENDAN WAS ROBBED.

Aw, I read your review and it made me rethink my initial reaction which was to say, out loud, to my empty living room, “What the fuck?!? John?!?” I thought Brendan basically presented his heart in pastry form and was NOT ready for him not to be crowned King Baker. You know for the rest of his life, he would have found…

I watched this season years ago, but when I saw this finale on PBS last night, I realized I had completely forgotten that Brendan made it to the final. I was wondering what he’s up to now and it seems he teaches cooking at nursing homes and sometimes cruise ships. No cookbooks and TV stuff like the younger guys, but…
