I don't know if this has already been said downthread because I am drunk and can't read that much right now. BUT. As a Tennessean whose town borders NC, I have always believed our neighbor, North Carolina, to be a nice liberal enclave in the middle of the sheer insanity that is the intolerant South. So many of my…

Hearted.

The most important part of this Dirt Bag is the new No Doubt album.

I agree about Reese. She was great in Walk the Line, Election, Cruel Intentions, and Water for Elephants (even though that movie sucked). And Legally Blonde isn't so much a rom com as it is just a hilarious movie. She can definitely weather this age gap.

Maybe Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz can only do rom coms because they suck in everything that isn't a rom com.

Yes, exactly! I think I was most pissed off by the tigers' habitat. It's a fucking tiger and they stuck it in the middle of this hot concrete slab. I really did cry.

I have wanted to make this woman the leader of the free world since 2007.

Okay, in all seriousness, I went to China this summer and visited the Beijing Zoo. The way people treat those animals is just appalling...feeding them candy, soda, and throwing shit at them to get them to move. The animals all look so lethargic and depressed, though I did see a hippo rise up and take a giant chunk out…

I live in Tennessee. I hear this shit all the time. Ventured a guess that a few of the politicians pushing these amendments shared similar sentiments as my fellow statesmen. Guess I was right!

Right! Desperate attempt to maintain the WASP male power structure.

I KNEW part of the reason politicians want to ban gay marriage is because some of their tiny little pinhead minds think it will lead to the demise of white people. I KNEW IT.

Yeah, I think the issue here is that Tharima organized this prom because she couldn't go to one with both men and women because of her religion, as opposed to just organizing an all-girl prom because she felt like it. And the article said that she "dreamed of attending prom since freshman year," which seems to me that…

Y'all, Hillary was just in Beijing. And now she's laughing and being funny at some diplomatic thing mere hours later. As someone who has experienced the Beijing-DC time difference, I commend her for not only being awake and upright, but also having a personality.

I think this is incredibly sad, and it sounds like the father has a mental condition. I hope he gets help and that his children aren't too traumatized and can find a safe home.

I read "elite UN forces" and LOL'd for a solid 30 seconds.

Eek I am so jealous! I'm supposed to go to Bosnia and Croatia this summer, looking forward to it a lot because I grew up there. You should definitely hit up the Dalmatian Coast (in Croatia) and Sarajevo, BiH if you get around to it! Happy travels! :)

Hahaha, this is the most accurate description of the EU I've heard yet. Hearted.

Hmmm. The sole recurring black character gets to be a tiny lesbian. How progressive. Excuse me while I get some ice cream. F THIS.

This is the best thing I have read all day. Lindy West, I want to be you.

Right! When I saw this picture, I was like "DAYUM GURL." And she's a badass, so there's that, too.
