There is a difference between being frustrated and blowing off steam and being a petty and hateful human. I have plenty of friends who are educators who express their exasperation without being demeaning pricks. If your job is making you this bitter and jaded then maybe it’s better for everyone to realize you aren’t…

Thank you. Seriously. He was an amazing person. He had just finished grad school and wanted to be a child psychologist. Second to my husband he was the kindest person I had in my life. This is him doing what he loved most. He was a great DJ, into it since the 90's. Unfortunately, I think when he came up here to…

They knew he had an addiction, yes, but how much “power” did this lady really have in keeping Prince with Narcan? Seriously?

Honestly, when it comes to overdosing, I hope more people learn to speak up, even after the death. My cousin’s funeral was a complete sham, and his parents insisted on telling those not in the very immediate family that he had died from a heart issue. It was very traumatic for my husband and I because all we wanted…

When my Mom was abusing opiates she would go from talking to just staring, eyes glazed over. We had a very close friend who was on heroin, and we knew he was doing it again because he would “nod out”, just fall asleep mid sentence, but for some reason, my mother would just stare off into space.

I love a good existential crisis in music, but the emphasis is on GOOD. This is so far from angsty or angry, or anything really. It’s as shallow as the side of the pool that John Mayer finds his new girlfriends in. Hey-yo!

It’s almost harder to accept when someone isn’t perfect that is pretty close to being perfect- from a public figure standpoint. I hate it that he isn’t 100% en pointe because he is just so excruciatingly close. I mean, Bill Maher could call me a fat cow and I wouldn’t care! But Dan, I do care, I care what he says and…

I don’t know if they “like” having to point out that the term “sex scandal” seems obviously misused, but I am happy my fellow readers see it as their duty to do so. It’s not like we’re the readers of a feminist blog, or anything.

You don’t know my Mom, you don’t know her unethical doctor who prescribed Norco by 70 at a time for headaches. She did not live in despair and did not beed her environment fixed. She used to be kind and wonderful. I never said people in pain need to be punished. Maybe read my comments and try to understand them before…

Well, a wave of enforcements has already been made, and now suburbia is experiencing the heroin epidemic. The over-prescribing is definitely the base issue here, but if this nation doesn’t get to grips with the addicts we already have and provide real support for them, we are going to be losing a lot more people.

I feel like it’s more a situation of doctor’s abusing their prescription pad in the first place. My Mom didn’t become an addict in a vacuum.

So, animals are trophies when they are hunted, but they totally aren’t trophies or status indicators when she is wearing fur on the runway. OKAY.

So- this Mofo is so busy calling some teenaged blogger a coke head and a “hand bag basic” that he hasn’t taken the time to realize he is doing so while showing us his mid life crisis Ferrari and graphic tee shirts and caps. OK.

I agree. I mean, I do think it’s an abuse of power to have sex with an intern, but that’s an ethical issue, not really a criminal one (unless I’m wrong?). Do I care what happens between two married people? No... unless you’re in a position of power and making one person out to be a slut and the other out to be just a…

I don’t think she should have done anything- it’s her business, unless she’s solely blaming the “mistresses”, which is just bs and sexist. That’s really the only point I was trying to make. Monica Lewinsky didn’t need to be slut-shamed while even Hillary was making Bill out to be just a “man being a man”. That’s all.…

Yeah. I feel like it’s just sexism-lite. It especially pisses me off to hear the vitriol because my super adorable 6 year old (7 tomorrow!) won’t wear his hair out of his face at all because his friends laugh when he wears anything in his hair to keep it out of his face. I told him that they would mature and learn to…

Shit, I let my fucking boss take advantage of me at that age, and I was just at a local newspaper, I couldn’t imagine being an intern at the white house.

If my husband cheated on me 4 + times over the course of my marriage I might begin to suspect that the problem is with him. Jesus, Bill Clinton is gross.

No, the implication is that she most certainly is a victim of the sexist, patriarchal media reaction to an extramarital affair. She became the “slut” and he was just the good ol’ boy who made a mistake (for the fifth time?). She was unable to get a job, was harassed, sent death threats, and left on her own while Bill…

I can’t stand anthony Bourdain. His whole episode visiting my city (Chicago) was so gross. He kept saying “this isn’t a city for pussies”and all sorts of other sexist crap. He is decent at showing working class folks, but his shtick is “underground” and authentic foods, so of course he isn’t the person who will be…
