The Mormon religion believes a woman can only get into heaven if she is married, and her husband has died, and he calls her secret name. How on earth can this be equal?

"Iron Lady" was widely acknowledged to be a terrible movie, while La Streep was her inimitable excellent self in portraying Mrs. Thatcher. So now we need to nominate terrible movies for a Best Picture Oscar, simply because the subject matter is a famous woman? Please, no. Feminist though I am, I can't go there.

Demanding that you be referred to as "Ambassador", involving two generals to write character references for your sister in a custody battle where the judge calls her "truth challenged", creating a fake charity and stealing charitable contributions to throw parties; creating a story of yourself as the victim in this…

I really hope JCP can stick with it. I really love what they've done to the store, how they've changed the brands to be more modern, simplified the layout, and I can buy decently-priced work pants there every day of the year, instead of on random sale days. Gotta say I love the new JCP.

Danskos are about the only shoe I will buy anymore. I am a woman who cannot buy regular women's shoes anymore ... heck, I can't even buy regular men's shoes. If I'm lucky, I can fit in a wide man's shoe ... but only 1 out of 10. With Danskos, the clogs may not be the most fashion forward look, but my feet don't…

Here it is.

Viagra is the drug of choice among the 80 year old women in Palm Springs to enhance their self-pleasure, the miracle cure that gets whispered from trailer to trailer.

I saw it last night and it was brilliant.

Having trained with nunchucks in taekwondo, they are hard to use without slapping yourself in the face at least once or twice (or having them go flying out of your hands). And that's just in a standard form. Using them in a real fight, with adrenaline pumping, would be quite difficult.

Yes, Baby Gap FTW! We got hand me downs and were able to hand them down (at least the not-so-stained versions). Too bad much of their adult line (Women's shirts, especially) suffers from trendy construction and cheap fabrics, unlike the sturdy kids' clothes. Although I did realize later than I was wearing a nice…

Judgments in New York accrue 9% interest, so they are probably claiming "prejudgment interest" at the post-judgment rate. While the return may be good, actually collecting is the real bitch ....

Because it stopped making decent clothes. It decided it needed to become H&M, so it started making cheap "fashion forward" clothes in each season's newest shrieking colors. I still have a shirt that I bought at The Gap 20+ years ago, and it is a favorite. None of the shirts they sell now will last more than 3…

Romney wore his best "Mormon missionary" cokeface. He was great at trying to convince people that he's the answer, without saying exactly what his answer is (or really, what questions he's answering.) Mormon missionaries are really good at getting people involved with the religion without disclosing what it's REALLY…

I LOVE BCA. I am especially tickled to know that BCA was founded in my living room here on the Left Coast. And thanks for the roundup of all of these products .. I was trying to explain to my wife last night why this "pinkification" pisses me off, and you've put all the issues succinctly in one place. Keep up the…

Awesome comment. Fernandez is also refusing to consider that this student may actually be affected by his/her inability to access capital. So her logic is basically, well, if you can afford to actually leave the country, you're too wealthy (educated?) to have an opinion on this matter (or any other, from what the…

The cardiologist DID prescribe Revatio. Revatio only comes in 20mg tablets. Viagra, OTOH, comes in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Of the same drug, which is called sildenafil. No, Viagra is not approved for heart conditions, but Revatio is. It's the SAME DRUG. I'm not sure why your friend's info is so different…

Pfizer does not have a program to help her. They lie and say they do, but when we spent weeks going through their application process we were turned down flat, with no explanation. Pfizer refused to say what the income level is at which they will actually give such help, but since my MIL's small pension and SS…

Drug patents are horrible. Just completely horrible. I understand that with capitalism, companies need to be able to make some profits off the development of good drugs, but what is happening now is a wholesale transfer of wealth from the ill to the drug companies. I have become much more aware of this and the…

Well, I DO love donuts, so that explains how my wife and I have stayed together for so long. It's lesbian destiny!

What was with all the ladies falling out of their too-small bra cups? It was really awkward ... Zooey D, for one, looked like the cups would barely cover her nipple, much less contain the boobage itself. It really ruined the look of an otherwise lovely dress.
