Yes, it is cognitive dissonance, right?

I'm an Old, which is why I only know Tom Morello from a Woody Guthrie tribute concert I saw him in (and he was fantastic), but I'm really hoping he's not the entitled asshole this piece at least partly makes him out to be. Even if we split the difference and say the doorman was a jerk (or worse), I'm not a fan of…

Jesus Catalano.

The only thing I can say is that looks like a heavily curated outfit.

When I was training many years ago as a domestic violence survivor advocate, we watched a video about a pilot program in a Southern state (can't remember which one), in which a retired cop who had gone on a lot of domestic violence calls in his career had decided to start a program with early intervention for young…

And just when you think that the political landscape in North Carolina is bleak, just look over the border to South Carolina, where Facebook-break-up-devotee and Appalachian-Trail-hiking-advocate Mark Sanford is running UNOPPOSED.

My favorite phrase in the bullshit statement from the U.S. Soccer mouthpiece is "handling a personal situation". It's exactly the same kind of obfuscatory linguistic crap the NFL uses for Rice, Peterson, et al.

Not to mention Ross Douthat, whose recent column on the sexual abuse scandal in a small English town chalked it up to permissive sexual mores of the 1960s and 70s.

Jack White is like Courtney Love, but without the plastic surgery.

Back then you didn't need to pay for beer at Dartmouth. All the frats had 24 hour all-you-can drink on demand free kegs (not that any women I knew ever crossed the threshold, though).

Yeah, is it worth your life?

Yeah, and another flagrant misuse of the term "hater", because opposing child abuse is so "hater"-like.

I agree, I just went off on an asshole commenting on a New York Times article who was like, "Oh, he was just disciplining his child, don't get your panties in a twist, nanny state issues"—I don't even know if the Times will post my response to his piece of shit comment.

Gee, I came here hoping to see a prancing feline on a golden, tastefully beaded leash, coordinating with Taylor's outfit of the moment. Something a la Duchess in "The Aristocats".

Yeah, five minutes for me, too. I followed his sarcastic tweets with mild interest, and immediately felt nauseous after I saw him being interviewed on "The Daily Show" by Jon Stewart. He was sooo artificial and plasticky in his demeanor; not a spontaneous bone in his body. Even Stewart looked uncomfortable.

I'm 50, and I have carried an ID with me constantly since I got my first driver's license at age 15. At least where I live in New York right now, I get asked for my ID sometimes once per day (whether I like it or not). Going to a dr.'s office, they need ID. Buying beer at the grocery store, I get carded. Picking…

I've also seen plenty of gorgeous babies turn into less than attractive adults. Watching the PBS special on the Roosevelts I realized that Teddy Roosevelt, while (at least in my mind) not the hottest man on earth, was an incredibly adorable baby and little boy. Like Gap Kids ad worthy. So you can't always tell.

I never had anyone personally who fit the bill, but while I was in college in the 80s my brother called to let me know that Ronald Reagan had appeared at my old high school for some sort of motivational "don't do drugs, stay in school, you can be president too!" speech.

Well, my daughter came home from 7th grade today and announced that all her friends said that today should be a national holiday because: Bey Born.

Yeah, my criteria for whether a person is TRULY important or not is whether their name gets autocorrected on my iPhone.
