It’s a great love story and I wish them well, I honestly do. But since I occasionally suffer an overwhelming urge to socially self-destruct, I’ll say what I’ve been thinking for the past week. *whispers guiltily* the divorce is going to be epic.

Thank you so much for that. When #45 makes me so angry I don’t trust myself to drive in a straight line I come to the Jez comments section looking for a laugh over it. Or a least a weak, fleeting smile.

Please, please, please stop the wine mom jokes. Alcohol is physically more harmful to women than men; our bodies metabolize it differently, leaving us more vulnurable to both the short and long-term ill effects. And wow, does our society loathe an alcoholic mother. As much as the medical profession recognizes

I quit watching PW after she introduced falafel as “New York street food.” God forbid we hint at anything to do with Jews or those Muzzlems. That said, my high school son and his black Chicagoan friends are all wierdly enthusiastic about watching. I think it might be the same spirit in which my older boy and his

Hurricane, toxic chemical explosions, our Cheeto-In-Chief and his racist groupies doing whatever they can to make sane people’s lives miserable. Getting lost in this is the news about a full-scale genocide being waged against the Rohingya, who are a Muslim minority in Buddhist-dominated Myanmar. Did you know that

P.S. Aside from those two words, I totally agree with what you said. Trump didn’t drain the swamp, he’s importing it.

Hey buddy, watch it with the ageism, ok? I’m an old fuck who is more liberal than yo mama. I do, however, have a cousin named Peg, and I can’t speak for her political choices.

This my-oppression-is-bigger-than-your-oppression argument is not the way to go, it just isn’t. It’s so painful when victimized populations start duking it out over who is suffering more, as if alienation is a game of musical chairs. There’s plenty room for all of us out here in the hinterlands of Trump’s America.

Um, quick reality check. You’re in the comments section of Jezebel.

Thanks! Will try.

Just glad I didn’t spend money to get these. What a whopping case of buyers’ remorse I would have.

Dear lord. I was a 34B in my twenties. Thirty years and 3 kids later I’m a 38D. I have back pain, constant underboob irritation, spend a fortune on bras, and I can’t wear certain kinds of necklaces because I look like a battleship decorated for Christmas. What I wouldn’t give for well-behaved boobs that just sat

I really, really love the spelling mistake. Really sums up her whole schtick.  P.S. I know recovering junkies who are far more self-aware and honest than most “regular” people. It’s a necessary part of actual recovery. The key word is “actual” ;)

Here’s another tip: You haven’t truly lived until you’ve heard the polka version of “Too Drunk To Fuck”, as performed by the Blenka Borodovsky Bordello Band. You’re welcome.

If you’re into old-school punk, listen to “Holiday In Cambodia” by the Dead Kennedys. (Originally titled “Holiday Inn, Cambodia”. Suspect there was a cease-and-desist order somewhere along the way.)

John Mayer’s Twitter comment made sense. He reminded us to look at how many people we’ve lost recently. We rip into celebrities when they do something wrong, then act holier-than-thou when they self-destruct. Amazing that any of them survive more than just a few years of it.

If a male pop star went on a talk show and ranked his famous exes the public would go nuclear on his ass. As a woman this bugs me, because the implication is that male sexuality needs restraint, but female sexuality is somehow just for giggles.

I respect John Mayer mostly because I gotta love a guy who isn’t afraid to wear all-over gingham checks while performing with the Grateful Dead and doing a damn good job of it. But I confess, I heard the word “panda” and got a really bad feeling. Still don’t think he’s racist, but there are all sorts of ways to

And beware the “she cheated on me” sob story. It ALWAYS takes two to destroy a relationship, assuming that one of them is not a sociopathic con artist.

If it’s early in the relationship he might be sounding you out to see what you’d be into. And if he’s youngish he might be just figuring out himself if he’d like it. But if you instinctively recoil, say so. Now is the time to set your boundaries.
