If the power of FOIA kept police from making mistakes in cases, we'd all live in a much safer world. Also, we wouldn't have this New York Times report, done using FOIA records from the cops, showing how TPD bungled the Jameis Winston investigation: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/20… Or how about this Times report,…

We're always happy to dump on ESPN when they screw up, but submitting a well-researched public records request on a subject of legitimate public interest in the expectation that it won't be sprayed all over the internet on Christmas Eve in an attempt to dampen its findings is definitely not an area where they screwed…

Three years without a test? What do they think those swabs are, FSU football players?

Yeah, 50 Shades isn't about BDSM. It's about a sociopath raping a childlike codependent in a world without repercussions or therapists.

Christian's also not into "BDSM." He's into physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Dornan's just reflecting the attitude of the books, though. Christian's only into BDSM because of childhood trauma related to his "crack whore" mother, and then Anastasia fixes him with her love and inability to refer to her genitals as anything but "down there," and then they have the kind of sex that loving people…

I mean, I hope not. But it is possible. However, he's educating everyone reading his tweets so that's good too, right?

"No peace" implies protesting, but you're already up on that cross. I'm sure you were equally OUTRAGED when Tea Partiers hung signs about washing the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I am a Demo Specialist.

I was at a book festival where Giada de Laurentiis was doing a cooking demo. She suggested that people just throw out questions as she worked. The first question was from DerpLady, who asked "Can I help you?" Giada kindly assented. She was making white bean dip and told the lady to salt the mixture, handing her a bowl…

ha ha. I do PR for this place. Here was our response:

They always keep the free samples in glass cases, don't they?

A theatre professor of mine once worked on a show that cooked real food onstage. It was so integral to the script that they actually had a real kitchen built onto the stage.
