He seems both funny and awesome. Thanks!

Brilliant.

Actually, although that was widely reported based on initial exit polling, it has since been debunked. Further analysis showed that 58% percent of African-Americans who cast a ballot voted for it. Although that is still higher than the general California vote (52% in favor), it isn't nearly as overwhelming as what…

I just mentioned something about this in another comment. It isn't the parking in the suburbs that is the problem, it is the parking in the city when I get home that is the issue. That's why asking people to come out on weekends during the day is, in my opinion, a really good option. It's when I visit my friends in…

The brunch idea for the new suburbanite is awesome. As a city dweller, I know that going out to the suburbs to visit friends is much easier on weekends during the day time (don't have to compete with rush hour traffic to get out there, don't have to spend 30 minutes struggling to find parking when I get back, etc.). …

I would like to take a tour of that factory. I assume we get samples, no?

I am now fairly convinced I am a genetic mutant. I have never had to wear deodorant but, once every few months, I will suddenly have stinky pits for a day. Also, I normally have dry ear wax but, again, every few months they will suddenly get smelly goop in them for a day. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

I did the same thing, and the image is hysterical.

I am living, breathing proof that wanting to be best friends with GP and loving to make fun of GP are not mutually exclusive activities.

I will never understand why they stopped televising the national costume portion of the competition. Comedy gold! Also, nothing will ever top Miss Germany 2009.

This place just won't be the same without you. And I'm not just saying that because you're a fellow Vikings fan and you starred me. It's because whenever I saw your name on a post I knew I'd soon be laughing even while reading about something that was pissing me off. But your love of the Vikes doesn't hurt. ;)

Party of life from conception to birth!

Ok, I really need to know what lipstick you are wearing. And, uh, to make it relevant: is it candy corn oreo lipstick?

In all seriousness, I'm proud that you play for my favorite team.

Not to mention all the students who attend those schools who are gay, have gay friends, or just aren't neanderthal fuckwads (I'm paraphrasing). But, yes to everything you said.

No, you said you "wouldn't call her a normal victim of abuse." I was pointing out that your perception of what is a "normal" domestic violence victim (i.e. someone who doesn't have resources) is wrong. This isn't bullshitty internet statistics. The reality is we do not have good statistics on domestic violence…

Fact check: women of all social and economic classes become victims of domestic violence. The myth that it is somehow unusual for women with resources to become victims of domestic violence and remain in an abusive relationship (a) makes it less likely that those around them will recognize the signs of someone who is…

For the most part, public libraries will take anything that is in decent shape (many are even willing to clean up books), isn't abridged, or isn't significantly factually out of date, like old travel books.

You did. There are a lot of underfunded public libraries out there (coincidentally often in neighborhoods where people don't have a lot of money to buy books) that would love to get donations of books like the ones she's crafting.
