I seriously bust out laughing so hard at the Clooney joke. So much better than the Cosby joke, which Fey already did on Weekend Update all those years ago. But the Cosby joke was about the courage in presenting it in the first place, so I'm totally behind that, too. :)

Leave her alone. If you should ever run into her in person, do it then.

Yeah, for me personally I think it's nice to give someone the benefit of the doubt when it involves stuff from childhood. That's not to say you can't be hurt and you can't bring it up and ask for an apology or refuse to have a relationship with said person. But most people do change and grow, hopefully for the better.

We are well into the second season and I still do not know if I like the show, but they do some things better than most other shows.

There are people who will mail order chicks to raise either for pets or farming purposes.

This actually might be a violation on Winstons part in regard to Title IX proceedings.

That's just low. He should get his ass disbarred to see how he likes it. Scumbag.

I'm surprised to see Cinderella so popular. Even as a kid I thought she was kind of boring.

Katie Perry has access to every manner of special effect artist and costumer. She's built a career out of campy, outlandish outfits. And she decides to become a cheeto for halloween. That's baller.

Kate Harding wrote a fantastic article about this over on Dame Magazine. It's worth reading but I want to quote one part that made me practically jump out of my chair and yell in agreement:

Amanda should have won based on her jewelry alone. She should have put more of her jewelry on all her models like they advised her to - it might have put her over the top.

Sean's win made me so happy. No more hippie "ethnic" maxidresses, please (cough cough, Gretchen).

I liked Amanda's looks but honestly the styling of models didn't help. Most had long flowing hair and it covered her looks too much. I love love love the gray dress in Kini's collection.

Little lady, you should have known that you should not be working when you are *whisper* in the family way.

That's the problem with being a woman who studies history (and why I quit being a history major). Male "historians" (*cough* George Will *cough*) can plagiarize, make shit up, etc. and they're a hero. Female historians open their mouths and there are twenty men yelling "I WANT TO SEE THE PRIMARY DOCUMENTATION".

I already had this book on my to-read list, but after reading the author's response letter, it's been bumped way up the list.

Wow, that letter is pure poetry. What a great way to handle a sexist asshole who reviews books based on the gender of the author and not the content of the books themselves.

So this is very cool and all, but it drives me absolutely bonkers. I want the book. I want it I want it I want it I want it.

I have an enduring love for all things Mitford.
