As a light smoker who is female and on her second long-term marriage w/ two kids (cough, gasping for breath, respect, freedom...), I can attest that the one of the only things that gets you through the tough times is intelligence. The thought-provoking conversations about life add up to a strong bond, especially with…

Identifying as part of the LGBT community is a choice, but the biological predilections that underlie this identity are NOT. However, I do kind of see where RS is going on this, as he is privy to some terrifyingly wingnut ideas about eugenics and “family values.” If science determines there’s a gay “gene”or set of…

I’m not a TSwift fan, but at least she gave $1 million to start music education programs - real ones - for underserved schools in TN. If someone can tell me what Nikki Minaj has done to actually help, donate or support anything that allows her to invoke civil rights to “preach” lost PR, then perhaps i’d change my mind…

And a defibrillator, with two midgets who rub their hands together and simultaneously yell, “CLEAR!”

And I want to see Gwyneth wrapped in that cashmere as she’s sweating out a nasty bout of cramps and diarrhea from the narrowly-approved cleanses made from edamame husks and cayenne she so frequently embibes...because isn’t that what Goop really means? Just thinking of the brand people...it’s a lifestyle.

They must have sampled from the Gawker comment pool...specifically the mental illness and LGBT “experts.”

I get it, but the tone is a little heavy. So men are insecure and annoyingly naive about their peacock vanity (no one’s been noticing this guy for a decade, but don’t tell him...). But railing against this guy’s insecurity doesn’t improve the unhealthy correlation women have with their bodies, looks and self-value. It…

I heard this on NPR today, and was annoyed that MAC is so blind to its market segments that a Selena collection would be something to “consider.” Who the fuck didn’t love Selena’s style? I am white and adored her - to the point of singing her songs loudly in the shower. This was a no-brainer, but MAC thinks Nikki…

My 1 1/2 year old can actually USE the iPad and my iPhone, finding the Sprout app, exact game and waits calmly for it to load. However, I also live with two teens who barely leave the house, but consider themselves socially “normal” as none of their friends do either.

I just gotta hope she wakes up and plays Golda for Spielberg or something...she represents every smart woman who is tricked into giving up her life and career by a douche. I picture her sitting in the Tom Ford Pour Homme man cave, listening to him ramble on about random shit while reading a copy of the Gita in…

I call BS on this guy - that quote is from True Romance, when Christian Slater gets beaten and questioned by Sicilian mobsters. He has a monologue about Sicilians getting “raped by Niggars” (Moors)...he knows he’s going to get killed so he provokes them with a Tarantino-written diatribe about the bloodline of…

People’s worst insults are the ones actually reflective of themselves ....

I recently was forced to watch one Dukes episode at the gym. I live in a private hell as a social services non-profit manager in a very Conservative County...I need the gym folks. Every TV at our local 24 Hour Fitness is tuned - in sequential order - to Fox News, CMT channel, ESPN, ESPN2, TBS (thank god) and of…

Then Humans needs a photo release from his parents, regardless of the message conveyed. It may not be as nefarious as the original conclusion of censorship. If he’s over 18, then it doesn’t matter - but he doesn’t look it at first glance. Maybe people are trying to protect the boy - my only point.

If this boy is under 18, then....

Or Michael Jackson’s promised face...

If I was a planning Miley’s “Save The Date,” it would be a single sequined pastie with the words “COME WITH US” on the back and a date...no time. A small holographic rainbow kitten jumps across a rainbow everytime you speak the word “love” with sincerity....

This actually made me sad. Is it so inconceivable to think that one day we’ll be old and demand a Bison burger - only to have a teenager tell us that meat is illegal, and it’s so offensive to other restaurant guests! To have your lifelong eating habits that you PAY to have honored treated like an obscene joke? Why is…

Ah, you must be at the wine bar at John Wayne airport in Orange County California....the place where they erected a cowboy statue and named the airport after a Democrat.

As someone who has this debate often in a house filled with academics, I am staunchly in support of Affirmative Action for underrepresented minority students - primarily Black, Latinos - who are shafted by public education and high-risk neighborhoods. However, not enough data is released about the economic background…
