I see a potential new appeal to social conservatives about gun control.

I get the Gwyneth hate — she's the poster child for clueless and out-of-touch, upper-class, "just eat lentils!" White privilege. It's not about her, it's about what she represents.

@cool_as_KimDeal: And yet the "white man's burden," the mission civilisatrice, and similar "progressive" colonial attitudes/practices toward indigenous peoples worked on a development model that saw the "uncivilized" peoples of the world as not inherently helpless, but needing a helping hand to become "developed"

The Closet Confessions series - of which this video is a part - on Bluefly is basically a series of ads for designer clothing. Despite this, the videos are actually rather charming; Harley Viera-Newton's video, which co-stars her cat, is especially cute, but there are videos from Johnny Weir, Kelly Osbourne, Joan

See!? See!? White male privilege doesn't exist!

Eh, it's just the foam, not the whole cushion. At least it doesn't contain HFCS.

@o-line: So long as they don't get fed any Rhesus Pieces instead ... because that would probably be in violation of the Animal Welfare Act.

But vagina is like diamonds! And women are the De Beers of vagina! We can flood the market with vagina, but what we really want is for vagina to be special like diamonds, so the solution is to enforce artificial scarcity on vagina.

@msmoneypenny misses MizJ: History isn't even going to remember Scarborough two seconds past his show going off the air, so there is that, at least.

This is a great guide to life. I don't even have to go buy the February issue of Cosmo now. Wow, this is really so, so, so much more helpful. I kind of can't believe I've never thought of this stuff before. Now I know why men all look at me with that, "Ew, gross!" expression all the time. I am so grateful for this,

@lurkystars: I cut up little squares of carpet and fry those. The toxic fumes are delicious. I can't believe I've been doing it wrong, too!

Isn't that what Anna Wintour wears to the gym?

I propose the "No Taxpayer Funding for Anti-Woman Anti-Choice Congressmen's Salaries Act."

@sublimelazy: You're right that "Democrat" and "liberal" are not necessarily the same thing, but given the current state of American political parties, Democrats are nearly always more liberal - further to the left - than Republicans. In this discussion, I think you are confusing "moderate" or "not radical" with

@junkbondtrader: Calling a couch a 'davenport' is like calling tissues 'Kleenex.'

@Ipomoea: My momma's family is from Seattle (great-grandma was a certified Washington state pioneer, awesome lady, and resident of the Rainier Valley!), and among folks of my momma's generation and older it was/is most definitely the 'davenport.' No such thing as the 'couch' or 'sofa.' I even catch myself saying it
