I heard an interview a few weeks ago with an elderly man who watched his son and grandson be murdered in front of his eyes and he thought his heart was literally broken. He had chest pain but it turned out he was having some sort of heart attack. There was a Serbian born American doctor who was there treating people…

I can't listen or watch any report without feeling physically upset.

I cannot watch ANY movie where an animal is even slightly in pain or like scared at any point. Cannot watch. I have stopped movies I've really enjoyed mid-movie because of this. I refuse. I refuse to even watch fictional animals suffer.

Yeah from the excerpts I've read (here and Gawker) I'm not so much bothered by the BDSM it's the fact that she's you know an innocent virgin who doesn't understand how sex works. But she's supposedly a college graduate (or almost grad whatever). She's completely infantilized, it's creepy.

Seriously though, there is tons of free porn online. Even if you're into this (IMO poorly written patriarchy-flavored garbage) why pay for it? I'm most annoyed by the waste of money/poor googling skills.

Blerg!

Thanks for writing this perspective. It's disgusting that this man is lauded rather than shunned by his community. Although hardly surprising. It's unfortunate (but also unsurprising) that a "respected" newspaper like The New York Times would collaborate in portraying his behavior as delightfully edgy instead of what…

It's pretty bad that in 2012 we're still using white actors to portray Native peoples. Even if it's an unrealistic Disney movie it still chafes.

None. This was before his Oxy days. Plus let's be honest he had absolutely nothing to do with design and production of the ties. And much as I can't stand Rush, this wasn't exactly unusual for the 90s. There were some real ugly ties.

NICE! Stay classy, dickface.

That Naomi Wolf article has to be one of the more ridiculous pieces of opinion journalism I've read in a while. And that's saying a lot as I JUST finished the new David Brooks column.

Oh man I was sort of with you until you got to the price. Cheese and crackers that's expensive.

Why thank you! Actually that's something more than one M.D. has told me. And sometimes a cold drags on for weeks and goes away without antibiotics. So I do like to be sure before I over medicate myself.

They're the best.

Uh as someone who suffers from plenty of sinus infections I can tell you antibiotics absolutely make a difference. I always try to hold out as long as possible in the hope the infection is simply viral because your body can build up immunity to antibiotics and that's a very bad thing. But when I cave after 3 weeks of…

Ahhhhh

Have you ever heard of a valid defense to a potentially criminal action? Laws don't exist in complete vacuums.
