That's true. We live in one of the crunchier towns adjacent to Boston, and I was actually surprised by how high the local school vaccination rates are (except for the private Montessori school). We do have an awful lot of people working in biotech and pharma, which probably helps.

Actually, that's why we picked our pediatrician — they insist on following the AAP vaccination schedule. As far as I can tell, they're not hurting for patients. There are plenty of people who are okay with or are downright enthusiastic about vaccines, and who don't want their children sharing a waiting room with the…

My pediatrician and her colleagues flat-out refuses to skip or delay vaccinations for philosophical reasons. If you're not willing to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccination schedule, they refer you to another pediatrician. As she puts it, "The vaccination schedule has been studied for safety and…

This is 100% true. My uncharitable take is that Britney has consumed far fewer drugs and far less alcohol than LiLo.

At the end of the day — barring REAL disaster — you'll be married, which is all that really matters. I've been married for 6 years this April, and I can barely remember some of the things we agonized over at the time.

"This isn't racism. This is socialism or possibly anti-colonialism."

This is Harlan we're talking about. Dead is fine.

The Guardian can barely hold back its disdain: "Giuliani supported the assertion that Obama does not care about him by describing the president's childhood, which the former mayor did not witness."

Is it just the angle at which this photo was taken, or does his head somehow look really long, front-to-back?

Chipotle has an app on their website where you can calculate the number of calories in your order. I was horrified when my usual - a bowl with brown rice, black beans, veggies, chicken, salsa, cheese and lettuce — clocked in at more than 1000 calories. Leaving off any one ingredient didn't lower the total calories by…

I read somewhere relative to the Catholic abuse crisis that a lot of the people responsible for the cover-up — who transferred pedophile priests to other parishes, etc — were operating with the mindset that The Church was bigger than any one victim, and had to be protected at all costs. Ironically, nothing has done as…

If he can't understand why a wife might wish to be present at her beloved husband's death, as opposed to absent - that says far more about him than anything he might write about the issue.

I always figured it was something like, "Why bother buying the woman shoes? It's not like she's going anywhere." Shoes are for important people.

Are they shiny? I'm on an endless search for lipstick that actually stays on, but I also have enormous lips, so I shy away from shine.

I know my gay friends love nothing more than being referred to as "homosexual", just like my lady friends love being called "females".

So the baby boob hat would be outlawed?

That doll is more realistic looking than the one from "American Sniper", at least.

I'm descended from slaveholders, colonizers and pirates, so....

Ha, I said the same thing in another comment. His face is also weirdly even — is he wearing foundation?

When was he made king of the Oompa-Loompas?
