ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RIGHT!

Falwell is still alive? I thought he went to hell years ago.

Somehow that asshole saying he’s a nice person disturbs me more than anything. What the fuck is happening with our country?

Why can’t they just fire her ignorant ass? For crying out loud, she’s refusing to do her job. What are they waiting for, for her to burn down the courthouse?

God. I remember that wig ad.. or wait, am I thinking about the cover of Some Girls? The Stones had a wig ad for their album art, maybe it was that one?

My parents were both alcoholics. There are countless awful embarrassing stories but none of them strike me funny, even now.

Oh fuck this guy, seriously I’m completely done with him. He certainly did trash Edith Wharton - he said she “did have one potentially redeeming disadvantage: she wasn’t pretty.” Fuck you Franzen. I will never read another one of your self-congratulatory bore fests.

Jesus WEPT. Thank you, this was probably the most fascinating article I’ve ever read at Jezebel. I was truly riveted. Your pregnancy story scared me so bad. I’m childless by choice and your ordeal freaked me the eff out, for real. A pregnancy like that would have killed you, even 100 years ago. And it’s simply…

pssh. Ginger prejudice rears it’s ugly head again.

This guy is such a detestable piece of dogshit that I can’t find anything to laugh at here. Just a totally offensive scumbag through and through.

OMG OMG OMG!! THEY’RE FINALLY MAKING THIS MOVIE! I swear to god I have been waiting for this for 20 years, it was that long ago I read the book and I knew it could be a fantastic movie. BLANCHETT YES!!!

OH HELL YES. I love me some Dolly!

Nope, I’m right there with you. It was so good the first season and then really went off the rails. Such a shame, the cast is so great too.

Poor Nan though. That had to be unbelievably difficult and stressful, to have to go through all that back in those days. And poor Elizabeth, she certainly doesn’t look like a happy girl in that photo.

I’m conflicted as well. I absolutely loved that book, it was funny and moving and astonishing. However - Showtime has a habit of highly fictionalizing true stories - Masters of Sex is complete hooey at this point, and unwatchable for me at this point. I would hate to see them do the same thing to Patti’s memoir. I…

Betty Joe Bialofsky!

It’s Mrs. Haber!!

My favorite Bar anecdote is, of course, post-Katrina when she opined all the displaced poor people were better off in a Houston evacuee center after losing everything.

That is actually the most frightening tale I’ve read in years. Thanks for the chills!
