So, she conforms to every conventional beauty standard like every other Wonder Woman, but now she has some black friends. Pop the fucking champaign.

Nobody likes an embarrassing poop story tattle tale. Not cool, ladies.

She supported Mao Zedong during and after the Cultural Revolution. Supported —and met with—Shining Path rebels in Peru who tortured and killed tens of thousands of civilians. Supported Fidel Castro. Basically, she talked human rights but uncritically embraced dictators, torturers, and oppressors.

No words except “You’re fired.”

Oh, JustinTru. Cute guy, nice opinions, maybe a little pandering. Considering his parentage, however, a juicy sex scandal is inevitable. I’m taking bets that it’s the nanny.

Is there a way to discuss racism without engaging in ageism? Last I checked the news, there are plenty of 20-something college students willing to don blackface (and plenty of young film makers who are indifferent to diversity). I won’t bore you with statistics about how older people are marginalized and suffer higher…

What demon did Murphy sell his soul to in order to keep getting his crap renewed? I feel asleep halfway through AHS season 3 and, judging from the clips I’ve seen of this train wreck, I’m not missing much. I’m utterly mystified by his continued success.

Now I want to see the Soviet list. To calm my childhood fears, my father once showed me a map of Philadelphia and pointed to where he thought the first strike targets would probably be (a safe distance from our town) and where the radiation fallout would go (east, away from us). A few years later, however, the…

This will go great with that Jean Nate travel bath set the cheap son of a bitch got me last year.

Glad that rich models will be healthy now. Will authorities also monitor the health of 3rd world sweatshop laborers who manufacturer their clothes?

How did people as bland and commercial as Will and Jada create those two human non sequiturs?

There’s a big difference between a disaffected teen who does drugs or shoplifts versus a disaffected teen who joins a group that showcases extreme depravity and violence. If joining ISIS is just about being impressionable and making “bad choices” than all teens are latent torturers/rapist/killers waiting for the right…

She went to participate in rape, torture, and killing and ended up getting murdered. Sounds to me like a heaping helping of karma.

No funeral for me, please. My family would eulogize me with some dull Christian service that would misrepresent my beliefs. My friends would throw some god-awful “Celebration of life” filled with cliche humanist posturing and forced attempts at humor. Both suck. Because death sucks. There’s no way around it. When my…

After attending a church basement preschool run by cranky church ladies who fed us Kool Aid and Nilla Wafers, how the Hell did I ever manage to get a PhD and a tenured position?
