I respect the feeling that the slaughter of children is overlooked a bit, but that's not the overarching theme of the books either; it's much more about Katniss' personal journey and revelation as to who she is, what she's done and what it means to a nation. The children are pawns in the Capitol's games - literally -…

I hear that verbosity is encouraged on Twitter, so I just went with it.

Charlize Theron is incredible in this and even Kristen Stewart lives up to a role more challenging than Twilight... Mirror Mirror looks like a joke next to this.

I make use of all my 140 bio characters: "Tufts grad, newbie ATLien, spelling bee champ & future cat lady. ESTP. In 5th grade I played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz which still makes me cooler than you."

If you swap out the period for a comma it becomes much more hilarious.

Oh I completely agree. I always vote for that very reason. Luckily I'm in Atlanta and the city is blue, regardless of the rest of the state which went to GINGRICH. Grrrr.

At least she's in a Gender & Women's Studies class. Step in the right direction if she's willing to learn about things that she has no clue about. Way better than the ignorant people who choose to remain that way.

This makes me incredibly happy because I read Pierce's Allana books growing up and listened to them on tape and LOVED them... I was just thinking about them recently and had completely forgotten any google-worthy details and you just sparked my memory! Must re-read...

Does that commenter realize that what we "had inserted" before we "got to this point" was like a PENIS, very similar to the one he himself presumable owns? I find it absolutely hysterical that men get all critical about women having sex but THEY'RE the ones having sex with us.

Not to mention they'll have alienated all the moderates and independents by then. As a Democrat in the South, I've lost faith in my state and leave it up to those north of the Mason Dixon line to reelect Obama.

Ha! I'll have to look that one up and add it to my rotation!

I've been making do with Soft Kitty from Big Bang Theory, but I might have to replace it with this. Brilliant.

Spending government money on a bronze bust statue is a far better purchase than spending money on birth control. Bronze statues can't get pregnant!

I've been saying the same thing ever since I discovered it nearly two years ago.

And we cannot forget about the bearguin.

That Times Square kiss is more promiscuous than this - that soldier pulled that woman off the street and kissed her. She didn't even know him. I think by today's standards, forcibly kissing a stranger on the street would be considered more scandalous than two men in love.

Mine does that too, though she's been more interested in forehead to forehead snuggles lately. Meow.

Ha, true. The girls' lego commercial was vapid, and if that's the issue here then that's fine - I'd much rather see women being represented in science and education and such than simple domesticity as well, but I get the feeling that the argument is that girls should be marketed to the same as boys, with trucks and…

While I understand the desire to let girls know it's okay to play with trucks or castles and to let boys know that it's okay to play with dolls, I struggle to know where to draw the line in the sand... I certainly would have preferred the girl legos as a child, and I see no problem with that. If we are frustrated that…

All of this talk just keeps reminding me of that scene in Legally Blonde where Reese Witherspoon's character makes an argument in class about a paternity case, and she closes with "furthermore, all masturbatory emissions where the sperm wasn't seeking an egg could be termed reckless abandonment". When real life begins…
