King Arthur's Round Table in the 12th century? Laughable indeed...

Tom & Lorenzo suggested that she was trolling the paparazzi with that appearance. And considering it was right after The Wedding... My opinion of Jennifer Aniston is that she seems nice enough and I really don't understand why everyone is so fascinated with her personal life — but if this were true and she was…
The G is hard in front of an R but soft in front of an I. So, are you pronouncing the first letter of "graphics" or the first letter of "gif"?
A car in direct sunlight with the windows cracked gets dangerously hot. Children have died in similar circumstances. Her poverty doesn't make the situation any less dangerous. Does she deserve to have her children taken away? Probably not. Did she face some difficult choices? No doubt. But what she did is…
"Lazy"? Have you tried carrying a mattress around? That's hard work.
I went to high school in Texas umpteen years ago. There was a fuss about some school requiring boys to have hair above the collar and no facial hair. The local newspaper did a story about some of our students with beards and longer hair — all looking perfectly respectable and accomplished. So Texas is not uniformly…

History nitpick: Jackson's legacy is not entirely sucktastic. He did campaign for universal manhood suffrage, which expanded voting rights to include all male citizens rather than just the property holders. So that was a step in the right direction.
Also, what if I'm shopping for other people whose interests don't match my own? Better to ask what product categories I'd like information about.
I have to watch Purple Rain every time I come across it on cable. The acting, to be clear, is terrible, but the musical performances are stellar.
And how do you determine what their home countries are? There's always some amount of process to follow, and if demand for that process exceeds available resources, there's lag time while people are processed.
"the children arriving should be deported immediately upon being found" — Deported to where? And by what means? Unless you mean the border guards should just tell them to turn around, there's going to be some amount of processing.
A friend on Facebook frequently links to Charles Pierce on esquire.com ranting about "Tiger Beat on the Potomac" (otherwise known as Politico). Good stuff.
There are many arbitrary conventions which have a real impact on people's lives. Social conventions are attempts to normalize a wide range of personal responses to various stimuli; considerations of logic and/or function are rarely the constraining factors. There's no logical or functional reason why I should chew…
The complaining woman behaved badly, but she's entitled to feel what she feels. The acceptability of breastfeeding in public is a matter of social convention, which is purely arbitrary and changes over time. Expecting everyone to have exactly the same reaction to it is silly.
The story isn't really about the Humane Society, because I didn't even remember that part of it. But I do remember that I'm not sure I could bear to read it again.
The US went from some 20,000 cases of polio annually to none in less than 30 years after the introduction of vaccinations. That's not attributable to changes in basic sanitation. So what's your next reason for not believing that vaccines are effective and useful?
Miss Manners should be the only author available in the "Weddings/Etiquette" section of the bookstore, and should be required reading for prospective brides and grooms. Well, everyone, really, but especially brides and grooms.
Then you're probably not being interviewed by newspaper journalists.
