Um, because he didn’t know if he wanted to be a lawyer? You’ve never heard of anyone taking time before professional school? I took one year. Most people took two. My boyfriend (who is Asian so I’m sure you wont doubt his academic cred) took five. Stop embarassing youreslf with how little you know about higher…

He’s not wrong about that IMO. Country music today is, for the most part, very apolitical on its surface, especially in contrast to pop music. It’s got a lot of retrograde sexism (though honestly not more than you’d see in most genres of music), and implicitly racist (listen to a country station for an hour and you…

Hello being so privileged that you can’t handle the concept of having to filter yourself when speaking in public. Sorry that doing what everybody else on the planet has to do and has always done is such a fun-sucker for you, Blake.

She tried serving papers on Chameleon Entertainment HQ but the process servers couldn’t find the building.

Maybe this is just a more gentle way of killing off the series. They’ll talk about doing a “TV movie and series”, but when things fall through and they can’t get it all lined up, the series will fade away. The Deadwood cancellation, more or less.

I meant my comment to complement yours. Not only is this type of accident not limited to illegal immigrants, it’s the most commonly fatal motorcycle accident (tied with hitting a fixed object.) It happens a number of times a day. It's such a disingenuous proposition to try to tie what happened with illegal…

Dominic Durden died in a motorcycle crash when a car didn’t yield when crossing traffic. It’s the most commonly fatal motorcycle accident. It’s terrible it happened, but it certainly isn’t indicative of an immigration problem.

Many commenters still had snack time when Biden’s plagarism was discovered (if they were born at all). I’m older, and I was surprised McCain/Palin didn’t bring it up during the 2008. I guess they had bigger problems to deal with.

Not just famous and fairly recent, the OBVIOUS PARALLEL SPEECH made at the same event by a person in the same role.

No one should use phrases from another person’s speech without permission. Obama and Biden were roundly criticized with varying degrees of justification. Pointing out plagiarism in Melania’s speech now is not hypocrisy. Or are you suggesting that, since other political speechmakers have broken the ice, we should give…

This morning, I was listening to a radio program where they were discussing the plagiarism stuff. A man called in and said, “Look, she’s hot and if he wins, we get to look at her for the next four years, so this is not a big deal to me.”

I love that they somehow try to pin this on Hillary. I don't love that so many Trump supporters eat it right up.

Responses to some of your arguments:

After reading the NY Times article, this is what it made me think of. I took years of a language—let’s say Italian—in high school and college. I have a friend who is highly intelligent. She’s never taken an Italian class and has never been to Italy. Yet for some reason, my friend thinks she can speak Italian (I don’t…

Right?! I’m so glad it’s over now and the spot that it has inexplicably occupied in the drama categories for its duration can go to a more worthy program.

While I personally think this is a bit ‘oversharey’

Yes! I’ve finally convinced you to read more Natalie Portman! That is my life’s passion! At last!

Except being talked down to requires being talked to. This was their correspondence to each other. Someone decided to publish it. And so? It’s still not about you. Or anyone else. If anything, the flaw is that it’s a rather pointless publishing because who cares what these people have to say to each other? Their…

I think it’s more of the too-cool-for-school anti-intellectualism. And it annoys the fuck out of me. Dog forbid you wander intellectually, and don’t self-deprecate enough - especially as a woman. One more fucking knife edge women have to walk: be smart but not too smart or else you’re a show-off, think but not too…
