This isn’t actually in the article, but I am inferring that the tattoo was the reason the father kept the child. His argument would be that he believed his breastfeeding ex had acted irresponsibly, so his motivation for not returning the child to her is that he did not want to put it at risk of contracting hepatitis…

My dad’s whole family have always been . . . ragers. It’s not like they (or I) commit violent felonies, but when things get bad, there is a level of screaming involved that is remarkable.

Well, it is “relatively low,” given that women in the same age bracket who don’t attend college are more likely to be sexually assaulted.

While Dolezal sounds like a lunatic, she has made abuse allegations against her parents and gone to the lengths to adopt her own (adopted) black brother as her son; her parents’ refusal to address that on air, plus their willingness to publically shame her, make them seem slimy. As. Fuck.

This whole story is so damned weird.

I liked Yul Brynner and Anthony Quinn as, “Whatever ethnicity we need at the moment.”

I was thinking, “Well, they probably filmed it somewhere else,” but no, they actually filmed the whole damned thing in Hawaii. That’s fucked up.

Didn’t we already do this with Miss Saigon? Granted, it’s a fucking terrible show, and I freaking love Jonathan Pryce’s performances in general, but its insistence on casting white actors as Vietnamese characters made the whole thing a laughingstock.

I don’t even . . . what . . .

As a die-hard John Hurt aficianado, I demand a threesome.

Oh, that SUCKS.

. . . does everyone but me think she’s ugly? I think she looks like a relatively attractive woman. I’m just pissed off that she’s smiling for her official “I hate faggots” photo.

Hunt said some really dumbfuck things. He also ran a lab that was and continued to be important in bioscience. An apology was appropriate and monitoring of his behavior is appropriate; a closing of his lab, including all the funding and research that goes with it, does not seem appropriate.

I think she just has an unfortunate case of Resting Bitch Face. It happens.

Pff, I saw The Opening of Misty Beethoven, a hardcore porno made in 1976, and it was hilarious.

My understanding is that while women in general are more likely to attempt suicide, men are more likely to succeed, because they are more likely to use firearms - which are, you know, pretty goddamned effective for suicide purposes.

“I will never love my children as much as I hate faggots.”

Bro & sis-in-law had one of sis-in-law’s aunts make their cake. It was . . . pretty, I guess, and the composition - lemon poppyseed cake with raspberry filling - sounded great. But wedding cakes are apparently very difficult to make, and it took her like a week. So the final product was a stale cake covered in stale…

I’ve never forgiven Archie McPhee for the toy I bought for them for my nephew’s first Christmas, which broke immediately. Seriously, how hard is it to make a plastic monkey that doesn’t snap in half on its first toss by an infant?

The evidence continues to grow in support of the theory that Sam Waterstone is a cleverly disguised terrier.
