If schools go year round, that should be a conscious policy choice, not something we fall into because we added so many holidays into the school year.

I don't see how it is more disruptive than a school year that kicks off with 4 days off in the first 2 weeks and ends with a 1 and a half day long week that half the kids will blow off. And if there's a year where Eid al-fitr falls during the academic year and they throw in Chinese New Year, school will seriously go…

The problem is that now New York City schools won't let out until June 28 next year (a Tuesday, by the way). Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Eid al-Adha, and Good Friday all add an extra week of school to the calendar. And Chinese families, understandably, have been lobbying for Chinese New Year off.

The caliber of the college always matters...

Do you think the caliber of the college matters? I wouldn't hesitate to spend the money to send my kids to Swarthmore, Amherst, Vassar, Wellesley, etc, but I'm not sure about a liberal arts college that isn't "top tier". But maybe I'm just being a snob - happy to stand corrected.

If it weren't so hard to get an abortion there wouldn't be any Dr. Gosnells to take advantage of desperate women.

Did you read to the bottom of the E! Online article? Because if you had, you wouldn't feel sorry for him.

Fewer large companies are run by women than by men named John, a sure indicator that the glass ceiling remains firmly in place in corporate America.

My strongest reaction was to the sanctimonious whiners in my FB feed complaining about why people are wasting their time on #thedress when ISIS was destroying relics and kidnapping Christians, and [horrible shit that happened last week]. It was fascinating and fun and silly and when there's a ton of horrible shit…

They deliver on commercials because they can't last longer than 60 or 90 seconds. It is like Onion articles - the headlines are funny but you get the joke and then the article is just like explaining the joke.

Are you sure they were for a sketch and not the after party?

Yes. I forgot that part - the "keep it 100" for the fatherhood episode was really troubling. He says he's going to revisit it, so I'm going to withhold judgement until that episode airs.

It would have been tied, but Jon hit it out of the park with the footage of 1994 Giuliani talking about transforming NYC.

Her statement on stage was off to me.

I've made this point in previous discussions of girl scout cookies, and I realize I sound like a "Get off my lawn" old coot, but they changed something about Thin Mints and now the chocolate is waxy and the cookie is bland, and I used to be able to eat an entire sleeve in one sitting and now I can't even choke one…

I miss you Eric.

THE DAY THE SINGER OF THE REFERENCE DIED OF CANCER!!!!

Yes. I actually also stopped getting periods thanks to Mirena. But before Mirena it was a blood bath.
