Not at all. Rhode Island is a good example.

One of my closest friends is from there, and I don’t think he’d be surprised, but it is a weird combination.

I figured that if I overlaid a map of 2012 counties presidential voting, that it would align pretty well with the racism map. It kinda didn’t. The areas the study identified as racist typically didn’t vote for Obama, but there were plenty of areas not identified as racist that didn’t vote for Obama.

Did Amy Schumer steal that wine-glass bit from Cougar Town? This photo is from two years before Inside Amy Schumer debuted.

My husband is a winemaker, so I’m speaking as an expert even though I’ve been in recovery for almost 13 years and have never tasted my husband’s wine. (Weirdly, I am the person who BUYS wine for our house, but I buy based on price, ratings, and label, and then re-buy based on the response from my husband and guests.)

Then 50-year-olds of today were 30 when “Only Wanna Be with You” was released. Blame it on the 40-year-olds.

He could have thought she was dead.

I’d be happier if poor people who had their cash stolen by state police all over the country got that money back.

If you had tickets to fly to Venezuela, decided not to go when the National Review misled you about the conditions there, and can show that it was reasonable for you to base the decision entirely on the photo in the National Review, you might be able to get damages equal to the value of the tickets, offset by whatever…

As soon as Santa Barbara County offers me a Smart Landscape Rebate for installing an in-ground pool, I’m SO there!

There are little creatures in the sativa buds that, when you heat them, come out and flip the switches on all kinds of lights.

Weed can give you pretty much the same effect, and it works with all kinds of jewelry and lights.

Back in 2001, I wrote a paper analyzing stories published in O. Henry Prize Stories since the prize was first awarded and publication of the collection began, in 1919. One of the things I analyzed was the gender of the writers who were published in the collection and the writers who won prizes.

The meaning and origin of the expression: The be all and end all

Don’t thank me! Thank the bacteria I got from my cat!

I’ve seen this in Santa Barbara for the 12 years I’ve lived here. We don’t have the same urban-village setup, but many homes are occupied only part time.

Jaroslav Flegr is no kook. And yet, for years, he suspected his mind had been taken over by parasites that had invaded his brain. So the prolific biologist took his science-fiction hunch into the lab. What he’s now discovering will startle you. Could tiny organisms carried by house cats be creeping into our brains,…

It’s about demographics. Young people think of Keanu Reeves as old and Patrick Swayze as dead. The remake features the brilliant Édgar Ramírez (check out his performance in the miniseries Carlos, now streaming on Netflix) and a more prominent female character.

It’s only when I saw your cropped version of the photo that I realized the guy wasn’t holding a black cable or rope or something like that between his hands.
