Dear Helen Mirren,

That story made me believe in gun ownership.

Same. It totally sucks to see ladies wearing beautiful statement pieces all summer, but I break out in a mass of itchy red bumps if I even think of going anywhere near something not made of gold. It blows.

Oh lord. Just stop. You’ve been watching Game of Thrones for five years and this is the thing that does it for you? How’d you make it past the first episode? What did you even think this show was about?

This is really shaking my faith in the intellectual honesty of the Tea Party.

As a one-time linguistics major, grammar peeving seems so silly. So many people seem to immediately react badly to any non-standard or non-literary usage, but I’m like, “What a trivial thing to get upset at.” And why does it impact so badly on so many people when they hear some novel usage — shouldn’t we get excited…
