Fuck you. I would do anything for my dogs, but simple reality is that some dogs are too dangerous to have around people. Any honest rescuer will tell you that. Not all the Vick dogs that were saved went to homes. Some went to sanctuaries where they get to live in safety and security, but where they cannot hurt the…

Nope. If in future he was found to no longer be dangerous, he’d be released, or given more freedom, because institutionalization after an insanity verdict is for the purpose of treatment and protecting the public, not punishment. So if he could establish that he was sufficiently “cured” to warrant greater freedom or…

Yep. And as I said above, if a decision is going to either hurt one of the parents or hurt the kids, sorry parent, you are the grown up and better equipped to deal. It is your job to protect your kids from pain, even if it is at your expense.

Nothing can justify sending the children to juvenile detention over visitation. That’s simply insane. You can control the parents, but not the children. And frankly, by the time a child is 15, his or her wishes in the matter should be given great weight. That’s the law almost everywhere. This was so egregiously…

Those people can’t read simple English, and are in deep denial. But it doesn’t surprise me. Makes me sad, though.

I know he said quaaludes, but I’m willing to bet it was more than quaaludes. He admitted to quaaludes because their reputation is not that negative. But they were never known as a date rape drug that gave you amnesia. No, I’m sure he used something more, but it was something that would have been more…

Some restaurants will state on the menu that they won’t serve certain cuts well done. I know of one in the DC area that does this.

My mother would only eat her proteins cooked TO DEATH. Not just well done. Murdered. Disgustingly dry and leathery. She was proud of it, too. She told us we were all savages. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I discovered that chicken breast didn’t have to taste like sawdust. Ugh!

Religion is a protected class because of the 1st Amendment. So, different reason, same result. And if you read the Obergefell decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that sexual orientation is a protected class. Watch and see, there will be more cases and this will become clearer.

Personally, I would not want a bigot who hated me for being who I am - my sexuality, my religion, whatever - making the cake for my special day. Who knows what shit they might put in it, spit or worse. But that’s beside the point.

How does she prove she was rejected because she was white? Jesus Tapdancing Christ, if she had been such a great student, she would have been automatically accepted under their top 10% program. Maybe she had shitty writing. Maybe she had lackluster recommendations or comparatively mediocre extracurriculars. It’s not…

OMG, I had an aunt who would not drink coffee unless it was virtually at a rapid boil. Bleah! A terrible thing to do to coffee, not to mention your poor mouth!

(1) The Palins aren’t a Quiverfull family. (2) The Duggar parents control all the income from the TV series, whereas Bristol has very substantial income of her own. (3) One of the Duggar daughters HAS left the family.

Of course they are, but not typically highly privileged women with money, income, and a national profile which she could easily use to establish independence.

How are her parents denying her access to birth control now? She has her own income. She doesn’t live in a cage.

I know of Willie T’s Lobster Shack in Dupont Circle, and Luke’s Lobster which has 3 locations, 1 in Georgetown, 1 at 6th and E NW, and one in Bethesda MD.

Freddie had a gorgeous voice. Really one of the best voices in modern music.

I had to stop the video about a minute after he started, um, “singing.” Holy fuck, the guy can’t carry a tune in a paper bag, and I am just being honest about it, not a hater.

I’d take Kurt Russell in a heart beat. My dad was the kind of nasty butthurt guy that would “disown” his kids. He must have “disowned” my older sibs a dozen times each, at least.

I had a lobster roll just the other evening. Mmmm. DC now has a couple of places you can get good ones. I’m moving away, though. I wonder whether there will be lobster rolls where I’m going. :(
