I've learned a lot about them from reading Josh Fruhlinger (The Comics Curmudgeon).

Perhaps it's hard getting the boys when, if your pic is anything to go by, you are a half esper killing machine?

He's restarted the show, only he's been calling it "a show". He just started a few months ago. It's been pretty great!

Not only was this covered by Anna North here:

I saw here:

Jezebel covered this like, five months ago:

As much as I appreciate the rhetoric of Bill and the need for more women in power, I really don't get the Hillary love. She may be a fine Secretary of State (I'm not sure how you'd measure that, but there you go), but she was a terrible politician. In her run in '08, she ran with Mark Penn's campaign strategy of…

I swear, sweatpants are the sexiest thing a woman can wear. Maybe it's just the engineer casual-dress culture that I've come to live in, but I really don't get the whole "dress up" thing at all.

Protesting the RNC convention? What pussies!

I was just about to try to translate this myself. Thanks for gettin' it out of the way!

I think it was papaya that was slang, but seriously, this gaffe is weak sauce.

I'm not sure what someone is supposed to do if they have rules or nevers. I've thought a lot about this question actually. In college I was struck by a pattern I didn't like: I started getting crushes on Asian ladies. *Only* Asian ladies. Before I got crushes on all kinds of women, but suddenly, nope, all Asian. So I…

You know, I don't like Romney very much. I don't like his policies, and he's kind of a creep.

"Septics" are a pretty common slang term in the UK from what I hear. It derives from Cockney rhyming slang "Yanks -> Septic Tanks"

It's not a zero sum game.

Actually, it's not all that clear that China's massive human right's violations in this matter are all that effective. What we see in the developing world is that a lot of couples are having fewer children. So population rates in most of the western world (i.e. Europe and Japan) are actually declining. The reasons…

I don't understand. If someone makes a mistake while cutting my hair, I won't go to them again. Same with a pedicure. That logic applies whether they're licensed or not, and there's no need for a government board for bad hair.

That might make sense for things that require basic competency for safety reasons. I'm not sure why cosmetologists need to be certified for the good of the public health. I also don't see why someone who, say, wants to braid hair (like this lady) needs to learn how to pass an entire cosmetology exam just to braid hair.

Nicole Richie is not half black. While she was raised by Lionel Richie, her biological father is Peter Michael Escovedo.

I didn't think of that! Good point! She might use the same presentation in France and Germany. I wish there were a better way around the ban, but I concede that I can't think of one off the top of my head.
