Agree. But do you think, in general, that Bill Maher is someone who doesn’t understand the history and heartbreak behind the word? I cannot blindly defend Bill on some of the views he clearly holds however I don’t think that when he thinks about black people he uses that word in his head or believes them to be…

Got it and agree. Yeah, Bill is far from perfect but I don’t think that perfection should be the standard. We would all fail miserably. I try not to use the word at all (replacing it with “the n word”) and have never ever called someone that. I did, however, use it in a horrifying way (mimicking the alliterative…

You are absolutely right that it was not part of a routine but certainly part of many comedians’ skill set--for lack of a better word--is the ability to come up with “funny” things on the fly. And I’m not sure that a joke about slavery is offensive on it’s face. I think there are very few topics that are so serious…

I’m not sure what you are saying in this post! I may just be having a brain malfunction, but it doesn’t seem clear. If the art, artist and message are all 100% separate, then you support the right of the artist to intentionally use whatever language they want? Or are you advocating for understanding that Bill’s fuck…

First of all, I’m quite sure his lawyer had a heart attack when he saw that. There is no way that Trump will sit down under oath if he can avoid it. And if he does, it will be spectacular. But to the bigger picture, if Comey’s story is true, there are other people who he discussed these issues with as they were…

That is how he ALWAYS is. He can never stand still. He is a toddler in every sense.

To be fair, the reporter totally blew it and ended up asking if COMEY asked TRUMP for a loyalty pledge. It was a bit of a confusing mess.

I’m a fan of the show. Bill Maher’s stand up is not great, but he does a good job in the Real Time/Politically Incorrect format. I was horrified by him using it last week but I have to wonder at what point is the “I’m sorry” enough. He absolutely did try to explain his non-thought process during the show and I think…

What in the world is she doing with her face on that Boxer cover???!?!!!!?!??!!?

By all accounts, Monica was (probably still is) a lovely girl. I went to the same college that she did (not at the same time...I was at Lewis and Clark when the story broke and all hell broke loose with press from all over the world setting up shop on campus) and was in the same program. The poli sci department there…

Linda Tripp is just awful. She took such advantage of Monica and the situation in general. The only chance this show has of being anything other than horrible is if she is depicted as the leech she is.

I saw where you were going immediately!

Exactly. And I think that is why she is no longer a media darling. We all celebrated her for coming out so publicly and quickly discovered that there is nothing besides that to celebrate. She got her due accolades but then demonstrated that being an asshole has nothing to do with gender.

And adult you would??????

Also, Oasis is a fairly decent Beatles cover band while Damon (both with and without Blur) is one of the true unsung musical geniuses of our time. He is in a near constant state of evolution.

Where on earth do they eat???*

I recently saw an excellent documentary about an Indian-American guy (who is also an actor) going through the arranged marriage process. I had no idea how involved the whole process is over here. They have binders full of people, by caste and last name that they go through to find their child a spouse. His last name…

I would caution voters that ONLY the first Outlander book can be considered a bonkbuster. Just something to consider when voting!

My husband was really grieving yesterday. He knew it was coming but was still so sad. They are his favorite band. They were not necessarily my favorite but it is still a loss. Like the music or not, they put on amazing shows!

I had read several blind items over the past year or so that those in the know seemed to believe were about Ben and Christine. The basic premise is that he is a total dick control freak and she has an eating disorder that comes from him being not at all nice if she puts on a few pounds.
