@wtfox?!: It's okay - Newt Gingrich already has 'moderate Republican' staked out.

@la_Zacatecana: Those are adorable. I would wear them with anything that gives you a "skinny" ankle - skinny jeans, leggings, carrot-leg pants, or shorter and fuller skirts with tights. The style of sole and the wedge heel also gives them some heft, so I can see pairing them with wide-leg pants as well. In…

@BicuriousShoes: I hated the birch color until I actually lived with it. The other colors looked cheap to me in-store (especially the mid-browns), which lead to the initial purchase of the birch. The bookcases looked surprisingly good on a wall painted in a saturated color.

@BicuriousShoes: I had two tall Billy bookcases in the light "birch" ("chapa abedul" in the Spanish link) color in a very narrow and very red hallway with no overhead light with low ceilings. I'm not a huge fan of light furniture, but they looked nice and didn't make the hallway look smaller than it, in fact, was.…

@So Long Marianne: These are mine.

Why on God's green earth is H&R Block advertising on MTV, anyway? Do the commercials run between ads for Posturepedic and Boniva?

@SarahMC: Of course!

@Phyllis Nefler: An egg white omelette.

@ButtonLoon: Not contributing, not useful, not accurate.

@SarahMC: "They see me trollin', they hatin' ..."

@enthusiasmflail hearts MizJenkins: I am saddened that some commenters seem to be missing that the Armenian genocide, the denial of genocide in modern Turkey, and the suppression of Armenian cultural memory, historically and today, are all of a piece. Memories and monuments (like Ani) are key to the continued survival…

Dress Code is usually an airy but fun series. I don't always agree with Sadie's advice, and occasionally problematic assumptions are made about the demographics of readers, but the posts often generate good ideas in the comments, and they are, if nothing else, a distraction on Friday afternoons.

Because they have a whole social structure working for them, telling them they are still awesome even though they have a marriage under their belt, that they got rid of that awful dumb, nagging bitch who isn't worth getting over, that they can still have whatever they want even though the last one sucked, that they…

If you can't figure out why this spread in Elle Turkey is problematic from Jenna's copy alone, then I'd suggest doing some reading about Turkey's relationship with Armenians/Armenia and some thinking about the politics of preservation and historic sites.

Stephanie wondered where all the boys of summer had gone, and if, more importantly, the Deadhead sticker she'd just put on her bumper would bring one of them back.

You know, I wish this case was just about abortion. I wish it was just about a horrible "doctor" and abortion. But it wasn't/isn't.

But does she ride a steam-engine snowmobile?

@tangodiva: I want to see a parody of this with cats.

Boston is the rudest place in the United States. Period. There is no question about this. It makes New York seem like Disneyland. Coming from Boston and getting off the bus or train in New York is like stepping into a fairy-world of people who are magically not assholes. Philadelphia? DC? Not even in the same league.

@snacktastic: Or possibly Anna N. was there on a warm, sunny, not-humid day. It's a fact: on those five days out of the year, Bostonians are nicer.
