Darfur is in Sudan. It borders South Sudan, but is not part of the new country.

If you're in Minneapolis, I can recommend some stellar falafel, but I, too, have yet to find a falafel place better than Amsterdam in any of the American cities have lived in or visited.

I dream of their condiment bar.

I was once at Amsterdam Falafel, coincidentally during a CPAC lunchbreak or something. There I am—21 year old college kid—in line with a bunch of white dudes in suits and flag lapel pins. I didn't know it was CPAC, so when the dude behind the counter asks me if I'm in town for the conference, I say what conference, he…

Anyone who thinks that the idea of American Exceptionalism doesn't shine through in AP US History has clearly not taken the class. Yes, the curriculum also covers less-savory aspects of our country's history (which—to you bozos on Fox—is integral for explaining our present), but I know that I at least ended the class…

You cannot be serious.

L&O: SVU has been batshit for a while now. I mean, it was never like super realistic, but all of their episodes the last two seasons have been weird "ripped from the headlines" ones where they awkwardly try to mash together two or three major national news stories. For example: they had Paula Deen kill Trayvon Martin,…

Reminds me of someone.

Oh my god. I came here to say duck fetus, too. I studied abroad in Cambodia, and my Cambodian friends handed me an egg all NDB, so I was like sure! I like boiled eggs. I am not sure I ever quite recovered from discovering a half developed duck fetus inside. And of course, I felt obligated to eat it all. I've eaten a…

"...and if being honest pisses the dude off...dont you want to know right then and not after sleeping with them?"

If you need ANY assistance with the winter soldier-ing of Anthony Mackie, you just drop me a line.

I agree that I don't necessarily think Woody Allen is the best illustration of Lena's point. I think others, like Larry David and Louis CK would be better examples, but I think her broader point is relevant (and sort of lost in the way that Jez paraphrased her remarks). I think it also ties into the ways that we allow…

So she said that in the context of a conversation about how female creators are always assumed to be their characters. Everyone thinks Lena is Hannah and everyone things Mindy Kaling is Mindy Lahiri, an issue that far fewer male creators face. While people have been calling out Allen for being a perv, those people…

It makes me sad because I loved him during all of his interviews for Winter Soldier. WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST STOPPED THERE, MACKIE?!

I'm pretty sure that the elements of the ACA that make it, well, the ACA (staying on parent's insurance until 26, no exclusions for pre-existing conditions, subsidies for middle-class, expansion of medicaid (where done), etc.) are popular when they are asked out individually, but when you bundle it all together and…

Wait, wait, wait! I thought we all agreed we didn't care about their stupid boners? Was there a meeting of Feminism that I missed? Were any other votes taken? We still get to be killjoys to frat boys everywhere, right??

True. Reign Disick is no where near as cool as Supernatural Disick would be. But, in fairness, is probably going to get picked on less than Virgin Disick.

I AM OUTRAGED ABOUT YOUR COMMENT.

Look, I'm not always a fan of some of the new-agey nonsense you hear from some doulas, but a trained midwife is actually quite useful, and would likely have been very capable of handling the situation had a doctor not been on hand. Though doulas sometimes have a rep for being too weird/crazy/nature-focused/whatever, I…

That episode made me so sad! I love Retta so much and will never understand how she (and the rest of the regular cast) didn't understand the comedy gold of Spice World!
