Texas may turn blue...but not just yet. I'm pretty certain that whomever takes over after Perry will be just as terrible.

Why does the emptying of the clip bother you? If he's going to shoot the deer, I'd rather he made sure it was dead as quickly as possible...I don't care if that means firing 1 bullet or 50. It's not like emptying the magazine is *more* cruel. It's minimizing the cruelty, I'd think. And, I dunno, while maybe…

Well, good for you and your husband for standing up against that. That's just evil...a great way to screw over the next generation as they're trying to get started in life.

I spent some time digging through info on this as well. The internet archive captured the site on May 17. The first other mention I see of it is someone who found out they got named on the site on June 22. Other than that, google didn't find me any information. I looked at those whois records as well, not very…

This. I was shocked there was no Chelada on the list. I would drink every single beer on that list before I would drink chelada. uggghh!

I think towel per week will do nicely...but I don't like storing mine in the bathroom, both for the aforementioned moistness of the environment...and also because my better half will inevitably grab my towel and use it, leaving it wet when I go to use it. !!!SMASH!!! My closet has a towel rack on the door, which I…

Haha, I'm with goddessoftransitory. Being in the middle of nowhere and having to abruptly mow the lawn seems one of the more improbable ways I can imagine to get a sun burn. :) Does this happen frequently? Would we be able to do a reality show about it? My Strange Addiction: Yard Work?

Bonsai Kitten envy is real, folks.

This is true. I guess my question, though: is the problem really the appropriation? Or is it the attitudes towards minorities, appropriation or not? I mean, I'd think the battle that really needs fighting isn't about appropriation but about viewing some cultures as inferior. I see how, since that more important…

When my child was a good bit younger, I caught her getting ready to chomp on a nice dried dog log at the playground. I'm sure it's a lot less dangerous than the fresh, still moist variety, but EW! Anyhow, yes, kids might very well eat dog poop that is left laying about.

I think at this point that what they'd be wisest to do is toss away the prequels...and perhaps the extended universe (as canon). Go back to the original trilogy, have that as the only canon, and then reimagine whatever extended details they need outside that trilogy. Not a complete reboot of the franchise, but a way…

I think you may be misunderstanding the article. Which isn't your fault, both the infographic and the Jezebel write up were pretty misleading.

I bet they did...personal hygeine being as high a priority as it was, and spending the days in hot, humid climates with no a/c and dressed in heavy skirts and dresses. I doubt that there was very much air-circulation to keep things...unmoist.

No, that's not what that article is about. It doesn't say gay couples are more likely to raise their kids in those locations. Rather, of the gay couples in those states, a higher percentage of them are raising kids than elsewhere. But if Alabama had 1000 gay couples, and California 1 million (both numbers…

I so know the feeling. What helps me through it is comparing myself to other parents, other parents who I know to be responisble, reasonable people who also have a kid or two who exhibit similar issues to mine. And it's never every kid, they'll have two perfectly calm, responsible kids, and then a crazy banshee. I…

Well, but in that scream state, and as long as they're in that scream state, those toys aren't the issue. It's not like she was busying playing up there in her room. Also, in that scream state? The bathroom is going to echo like a loudspeaker, no fun at all. I think putting them in the room is okay, most of the…

This. Like, I could see doing what that other guy did, follow him around and intervene if he tries to assault someone, but otherwise stay the eff away. Because Florida zombie man was totally on my mind watching it, I am 100% certain it would be on my mind if I were confronted by his ish.

That's not a press release, that's a news article. With a typo where they left out the "No" at the beginning of that sentence. The manufacturer's site is very clear that there is *no* milk in the lollys.

Also, an amusing comparison to read, so soon before the suspension hammer falls on A-Rod....

Amen. It's pretty much complete crap that people move in next to a bar/a restaurant/a piece of art they don't like/etc and then act all aggrieved once they've unpacked their boxes.
