With Marilu Henner’s extensive dance background, she should have a shot. Plus, if you're giving points for the likelihood that a couple us doing it, she's got to get the edge. She's been known for her enthusiasm since she went to the same all-girls Catholic high school as my sister while making her way through many of…

At Nola.com, as at all Advance Digital sites, the reporter usually IS responsible for the online headline. The print version is handled by a separate team that’s not even in the same building.

Can't be the super-douchey thing or the rallies would be empty.

Odo. From Deep Space Nine.

Well, thanks. I used to be proud to be from Chicago, home of Bozo, Kukla, Fran, Ollie and Garfield Goose. Now I'm a little jealous of Seattle.

You know no one ever buys this for themselves. It's the kind of almost cheap, useless gift you get from your cousin who's hoping to mooch off your home and food, but doesn't know you well enough to have a clue about what you like.

Makeup and heels in the field always seemed to work for the scientists on the CSIs and Rizzoli and Isles. Maybe you're sciencing wrong?

The law — British or American — should automatically grant surviving spouses positive, sole responsibility for decisions when someone is incapacitated or, in this case, dead. Reminds me of the Terry Schiavo case, with the parents blocking the husband’s decision. When I got married, I was turning over my life to my…

Actually, that's why Athens is a good idea. Tax Olympic nations to pay for construction, which creates Greek jobs. In a transition period, have co-host cities — most events held in Athens, but one or two big-draw events in the secondary city.

Now I really want to see the song.

As complicated as these injuries can be, I’m still surprised that veterinary medicine hasn’t come up with a solution short of euthanasia — at least for horses at a high level, where the expense would have a payback. And couldn't there be some spillover benefits in improving ways to treat certain injuries to people?

By my count, voters have “rejected” Hillary Clinton all of once, in 2008, which seems a lower number than “a few times.” Others who have lost elections or primaries at some level and then gone on to win the presidency include: Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, Harry Truman, LBJ, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and,…

I’ve never understood the whole “rough ride = great vehicle” concept. Seems equivalent to praising a lawnmower because it's twice as noisy as it needs to be and the blades are dull enough to make even regular grass a struggle. Or complaining that a new operating system doesn't stall and crash as frequently as it…

So, wait, you object to anyone “snitching” on any crime? Way to be six years old, bro.

You know Ferraro was the nominee for veep, not Prezi, right?

You’re correct that the morally consistent position, given a firm belief that life begins at conception, is to have no exceptions. That is the Catholic Church’s position. However, a significant number of those who would support abortion restrictions — perhaps a majority — have doubts about when life begins. That opens…

I presumed it was from the preachers they watch on TV.

Just so I’m clear on the logic of those who are criticizing Harper: talking trash or otherwise humiliating your opponent after you do something good = unwarranted behavior; throwing a lethal missile at someone’s head or attempting to impale them on a spiked shoe = dignified sportsmanship. Did I get that right?

Rather than changing Euro football to match an American model, I'd rather see the reverse. If MLB or NBA teams would be relegated to lower levels for poor performance, owners would be under more pressure to care about winning.

As soon as I saw the headline, I knew it would be about disbelief. The two examples I saw a n newsrooms of forcing journalists to write about first-person situations involved the same thing — a car accident the bosses thought was drunk driving, and witnessing a shooting when editors suspected the reporter had been…
