That puppy is super duper cute, BUT I just can't help it—I think adult pit bulls are way scary! I know they're perfectly nice and sweet dogs like any other breed, but they just look like powerful muscly ghost dogs. Maybe it's the eyes and the stockiness, and complete lack of fluffiness?

yeah, can't say why, but I just thought Target Lady was the funniest thing.

I bet a shorter partner would sure make shower sex a lot easier (my husband's a couple inches taller).

The article is against the assumption that people in subservient jobs are there because they are naturally subservient, or less intelligent. One should not look at a construction worker and subconsciously decide that he has that career because he's a different "species" than CEOs or doctors.

I laughed pretty consistently at Kristen Wiig sketches.

I feel compelled to mention that, everything said in this post notwithstanding, Dumb & Dumber is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

That is a disturbing image of rape, and if I were a librarian I'd be uncomfortable going about my daily business under its gaze for an indeterminate period of time. I believe it's worthwhile to have art that is unnerving and forces us to confront disturbing realities, but I sure wouldn't want to have it around me…

Oooh, yeah. It'll be interesting to see whether this movie falls into this trap, or whether it manages to avoid it. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on how either of those scenarios might happen.

I couldn't say why, but I lost it when he said "Soup yourself" instead of "suit yourself"!

Seems to me like they're doing Tim&Eric, but not as well as Tim&Eric

I'd go with The Guardian (guardian.co.uk). World class all-around international news. Al-Jazeera English is good too, like newsies23 suggested.

Tree of Life was terrible and self-indulgent and terrible. This movie is fabulous. The first thing my husband said when the end credits started rolling was "This is what Tree of Life should have been."

Why should we be thinking of these as "slave" dolls instead of just dolls of movie characters? Especially considering that three out of the six dolls pictured are white characters. I'm no Tarantino fan, but I don't see why marketing these action figures is causing any more anguish than other black action figures—the…

Awwwwww. Further into the full article: "Miss Scheel is a wonderful testimony to our eugenics theories, in which, by the way, she is a firm believer."

Please Please Please vote Yes on 30. If prop 30 fails, it will be disastrous for the UC system, which is already in dire straits. California's public universities need saving for the sake of the students in this state and for the sake of saving public education in general.

I'm voting no on 37. It seems like over-legislating to me, since the label would suggest to grocery shoppers that a product is harmful when it really might not be harmfull at all. The proposition seems poorly designed as well, since it does not require ALL foodstuffs to be labelled, and lets a lot of items where…

Young Donald Rumsfeld is a shocker too!

If you do anything to change your weight, remember to do it for yourself, not for your husband or anyone else. I would say that you should be the one to decide when to be comfortable with your own body. It might be good to really think about whether your weight is actually your problem or your husband's.

Wow, there's something seriously wrong with the way NPR presented this argument! As if heavy people don't deserve to be comfortable!

Exactly. Rudeness begets rudeness.
