Let's be honest here: retail labor isn't exactly hard to come by in these situations. Headhunting is, for better or for worse, for people with relatively more rare skills.

Um, I still don't know how to pronounce Roethlisberger. Thanks to my fellow Jezzies I'm convinced his last name is Rapelisberger.

she also said :

Exactly. And I wouldn't throw Meryl Streep's name around too much in arguments like his because Streep is the first one who will tell you that she is the exception to the rule. She's talked about this a billion times.

I believe it was Tina Fey who said: "Helen Mirren is not proof that there are parts for older women, Helen Mirren is proof that there are parts for Helen Mirren."

Dearest Russell,

If you are trying to pretend that you're still the young buck when you're my age, it just doesn't work.

I think you seem like most of the childless by choice folks I know—level headed and thoughtful. Yes, there are some really, really sick, vile weirdos out there who say bizarre things about "breeders," but they are but representative of the average childless by choice person. They are freaks and unusual.

1) There's more than one thing you've been...itching to ask (sorry, couldn't help it), I suggest writing it down. White coat anxiety is a very real thing, and its so easy to forget all the things you wanted to mention once you actually reach the exam room. Write it down!

First of all, I totally get the fear (the lady parts are delicate and have the potential to be in major pain), but all of the lady doctors I've been to have been fantastic—from the actual doctors themselves to the RNs and receptionists. And I used to go to the lady doctor like once a month when I had UTIs so bad I…

YEEESH. Welp, those are 58K people who need to be put on the "do not adopt to" lists at all shelters.

My dog bit my face once when I was in kindergarten. She was a big dog, a breed often accused of being aggressive and violent. She was the sweetest dog ever, though, and I was a shit of child who was trying to force her to "roll over" when she wanted to nap. It was more of a scrape than a deep wound, and left no…

I don't think it's abusing her for politics to say it's bad to let your kid step on a dog. The kid could hurt the dog or the dog could hurt the kid or both. Even if none of those things happen because he's a tiny kid with a big sweet hardy Labrador, if he tries that with a fiend's Dalmatian, he's losing a toe and…

Damn, and the dog is even black. :(

This is some kind of metaphor for the GOP's attitude towards the poor, I'm 95% sure of it

I don't think it's even so much vigilante justice though. He didn't hunt the guy down for revenge, he caught him in the act and ended it.

She doesn't need harassment. She needs to learn and grow from this tragedy.

It's really difficult not to hate this woman. I grew up in this kind of smug, judgmental, repressed religious environment. People thought they were so nice and generous when they condescended to hate the sin, etc., but the stifling of individuality, of independence, of sexuality of any kind was just so fucking stupid.…
