Actually, pretty much all drug shortages are caused by manufacturing equipment failure (and the ensuring FDA enforced shutdown), quality control failure, and the FDA impounding drug lots for regulatory non-conformance.

Speaking of monogamy, where did you get this picture of my wife's beardonkadonk???

This is what happens when you're in menopause. "Too much on my face and not enough on my head" happens to be the title of my latest blog post on wordpress. But sheesh, you'd think she'd have people to help her with that. Whereas I have depilatory cream and myself.

In Sweden, you get scratch tickets

"...despite over 20 years of generosity feels that she still deserves yet even more financial support from Paula Deen."

It's not *just* the ringing of the dinner bell. It's the specific context of requesting a black woman at a Southern restaurant to ring the bell. You'll notice that Deen didn't request or employ a white woman to do this. In Deen's and Southern contexts, a black woman ringing the dinner bell hearkens back to the…

Oh hell yes. I'd let him wear my panties any time, except I'm fat and he runs marathons.

Oh, for God's sake. She's like 19 years old. I don't know about you, but when I was 19 I was somewhat of a fucking moron.

Oh my god, the wedding stress dreams!! SO HORRIBLE WHY GOD WHY. I just had one last night where even in the context of the dream, we had already had the wedding, we were doing a re-do for some reason with my exact same dress only it keep falling off my boobs. And in the dream I hadn't showered and had no makeup,…

What, nothing about poor Princess Charlotte of Wales who died as the result of childbirth and her stillborn son? If they had not died, then Queen Victoria probably never would have been born, let alone become queen.

Princess Charlotte was the only legitimate of George IV (then the Prince Regent). On her death, the…

Sorry, I'm going to be that annoying person and just point out (in my capacity as an Egyptologist), that the image captioned as an ancient Egyptian "mother and baby sarcophagus" is not a sarcophagus, and does not represent a mother and baby. It's a statue of an official named Senenmut (he's sitting with his knees…

It seems as good a time as any to post a link to Ugly Renaissance Babies, which has got me through many a dull evening of revision.

GOD MARIA, DON'T BE A MARTYR, GET A CART

To be honest, I've never understood why people think this is an effective tactic. I've gotten so much more out of simply being polite and kind to others than I ever could get out of losing my temper and going on a tirade.

She is the guy who came into the kitchen where I was chef, and started screaming at me about how his food was cold. I stuck my finger right in his mashed potatoes and told him they were still hot, but that I'd personally bring another plate of food out to his table so he could impress his friends, and that if he ever…

It doesn't matter how stressed a mother (or father) is at their kids, it is never ever acceptable to yell and scream at someone providing you a service. It's bullying, plain and simple, and when kids watch their parents doing it to other people then they might think it's acceptable for them to do in life as well.*

She has the voice of every high-strung Broadway Baby musical theater kid I went to arts camp with. I'm assuming from that that she's a drama queen who likes the attention that comes from making a scene.

I hate that "famous" is an occupation.

Woo, an early congrats to the Duchess; I would be so freaked out by the idea that much of the world knows I am currently pushing a human out of me.
