Helen Gurley-Brown, creator of Cosmopolitan, author of controversial book that announced the fact that girls liked sex to the world prior to that, and all around cool chick... however old she is.

@productjunkie: OMG, My mom totally raised me on the esteemed works of "Doctor Dobson", notably "The Strong Willed Child." In fact, I one time I walked in on my mom while she was in bed— no, not having sex {if only}— but *reading the aforementioned Dobson text* in a manner that can only be described as "cramming for…

@kolea: I hear you re: all of the insane atrocities that human beings bestow upon one another, be they in the first, third, or thirteenth world. One thing that holds true, regardless of locale, is that said atrocities tend to either flourish or die according to what people will or will not tolerate on a local level.…

OOh, I'd like to propose the following nominations for Most Sucky Airport Awards!

I had this Prof in Law School, Professor Miccio, who was the coolest, smartest female lawyer-type ever (except maybe JJ). Back in her days as a family lawyer, Miccio appeared in front of Judge Judy in NY family court on several occasions. Oh, what my broke law-student ass would have paid to have seen those two in…

@solangel: Q:"Someone please explain to me why somebody who claims they are sober goes to rehab?"

@bigleggedwoman: Nice to know that men have always responded to pragmatism (read: how acting rude will hurt THEM) over empathy/respect for another's feelings. One can only pray that Darwinism will cause the less empathetic segments of the male population to shrink in numbers as the years go by.

@Gilbekat: LOL! Me & my (totoally unsuperficial, brainiac-type) friend were just saying how we're both embarrassingly hooked on these voyeuristic low-Budg Bravo! shows. I was complaining about how hard it is to hide them from my (judgmental, history-channel watching) BF on the Tivo menu. (Once, during a fight, he…

@PICKLES_IN_MY_TUNA: "This same friend is addicted to plastic surgery and has had numerous procedures (she's under 40)...Unfortunately, I know a handful of women like this."

@goldengirl11: I'm a CA law school grad, who is putting the ol' JD to use as an... Interior Designer. I'm sooo over the lawyer thing. But I have this thing about finishing everything I start...

@braak: Do some research on the amount of social services that illegial aliens use. Please.

@whitekidinflatbush: I apologize if someone has said as much already, but for some reason I was under the impression that Mary Carey's name was a reference to (Chicago Cubs?) announcer Harry Carey [RIP]. Or maybe I just thought this was the case, as his slimy face has yet to leave my consciousness ever since an…

First, I wanted to amend my earlier post to say that my beef with illegal immigrants has to do with when they come here en masse to drop 'anchor babies' whose welfare checks THEY, the illegals, then collect (on behalf of said anchor babies, who a previous commenter pointed out, are now US citizens, born in our…

@tetracycloide: I heart your comments.

@LizClara: Hmmm... do you know the medical terminology for that condition? And does insurance pay for it?

@marie123: 'I have never given a guy oral sex (yet)...it seems so f*cking disgusting, and its the perfect sex act, b/c only one person really has to do work.'

@PICKLES_IN_MY_TUNA: Like, for reals? Have you ever done that? I always thought it would be sweet revenge to trick Mr. trigger-happy into going down on me at the wrong time of the month.

Christ, with military men abusing women and then hiding behind the Good Ol' Boy's Club, it seems the only way we can level the playing field is by getting the power to do to men as they've done to us and hold a constant threat over their heads; a threat that tells them not to fuck with us. Because they *know* we can…

@tailfeather: er what? If the girls behind Katie weren't wearing those hiddy scrawled-on faux bridesmaid dresses, I'd have thought this pic was from her recent actual wedding at the Mormon Church in Utah!

Ahh.. Elyse. How I miss having someone like her on ANTM. I think a big reason the show has gotten so bad recently has to do with casting- none of the girls even came close to Elyse. Most of them are/were dumb cliche stock characters (the hood rat, the mail-order bride, the airhead, the lezzie, baby-tyra, et. al.).
