Just a quick point from a literature major: can you not treat Gone with the Wind the film and Gone with the Wind the novel as the same thing? There is a lot of difference in the book and the film and using the two interchangeably shows a glaring lack of knowledge of the subject matter.

I think you mean "And this right here is why the ACA should have created a single-payer universal healthcare system in America."

I read this as "Jon Stewart blahblahblah... AS JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR" and got very excited.

What people apparently don't understand is that this is how the anti-choicers work. They pick and pick and pick. It's death of Roe (and now they're on to Griswold) by 10,000 cuts. They start off with something that sounds like it might be slightly reasonable, but it's only the opening salvo. The extra, unnecessary…

I'm baffled as to how this is even an issue. The employers are trying to force the employees to adhere to a particular set of religious guidelines—how is that not infringing on religious freedom? And even if that were the case, I assume part of the employees' paychecks go toward health insurance, so the employee is…

Sigh. I'm going to have stop getting my posters framed at Hobby Lobby, aren't I?

Also in contention for worst idea for kids, ever: behold, FunDip, a chalky sugar stick that you dip into more sugar and lick off.

And don't forget that this stuff was all aggressively marketed to us, so we knew we couldn't be cool unless we were seen consuming them.

Both of my children are internationally adopted, both abandoned in safe places where they were immediately found and taken to safety. I hope that some day they can find their parents and get answers to their questions. We celebrate their adoption days, their gotcha days, their citizenship days, and their birthdays,…

I think the "don't work there" argument, though, has failed in the past (e.g. smoking bans instituted for the protection of workers).

They can choose not to provide insurance at all. Once they provide it, it is an earned benefit. They want to tell their employees that, once they have this earned benefit, they cannot use it for their own medical care as they see fit.

Those "things" are part of their employee's health insurance, which is part of their employee's wages. You might as well say that employers can tell their employees what to spend their wages on.

I'm already inadvertently boycotting them, because they give me the creeps, what with being so up in their employees' personal bidness.

If covering birth control in an insurance plan is a burden on your religious beliefs just wait until you're stuck with the burden of all those female employees on maternity leave.

Sometimes I wonder about these regulations - I mean, I've never gotten myself sick because I didn't wash my hands 10 times while making dinner, or there was some spilled sauce on my countertop, or I scrubbed a dish for 10 seconds instead of 30. It seems like the free market would work its magic here and if a…

That reminds me of my dad - for a while my sister was going through an awful time at work, so he got into the habit of texting her every day, when he hadn't really before. He took pictures of the pet rabbits we had and sent them with little 'Far Side' type captions, so like a picture of one bunny pooping on top of a…

My ex said "You're the only person I know who yells "SHIT" every time the phone rings."

I think Weed and Red Wine, (otherwise known as WEEKEND) are going to the final.

Denver, represent!

Proper monograms for your silver julep cups should be discussed, as well as what to do when mixing and matching all that inherited china. Need a few fill-in place settings? Why, paint them yourself! Faulkner would be pleased. Also, the pros and cons of various regional BBQ styles, why deviled eggs should never…
