I just had the weirdest mental image.

Enthusiastic staff looking for permanent positions.

Seriously Zac Posen was clearly screaming to Lupita to wear this dress in his 2014 Fall line which would have fit the theme so beautifully.

The theme! She could have worn the most amazing editorial architectural dress and no... I am so disappoint.

I assume you live in a swing state? Or a hotly contested district? That's nuts.

Tell me about it.

Yeah, meanwhile my parent's rep Chris Gibson (talk about a tea party nut) was trying to defund FEMA when Irene hit. He didn't change his tune until his constituents had spent a week under water and half his district had basically been removed from the map. My parents called his office to complain so often they…

Those are like the Heritage fund people who think that poor Americans aren't really poor because they have refrigerators. The cognitive dissonance. It boggles.

I never understand why people don't turn out in mid-term elections. Voting, for me, is a pretty sacred duty. Also—let's do day of registration and make election day a federal holiday and allow anyone to vote in any precinct in their district. But that's a whole different post.

Yes they are. And if you're traveling to an area where polio is a risk or work in public health it is recommended that adults get a booster.

Our owners are manipulating how we breed to create a body that can't sustain vaginal birth?

I think it's still on Hallmark!

I knew my advanced Golden Girls knowledge would come in handy somehow.

"It's a fashion club now," Turney said. "The days of wearing our old workout shorts and ratty T-shirts are over."

Eh, there's way worse choices in the photo spread on here like Alicia Quarles or Evangelista's 90s fur monster of a bolero. Other pictures of the de la Renta dress are a bit better.

I don't think polka dots is too controversial a print for a dinner where the President basically roasts himself.
