Yep, I think all those are implied. Any of those "not rapes" are consensual in his view because you put yourself in the position to make it happen and therefore bear the responsibility for it, and anyway if you really didn't want to, you would have physically resisted in a way that escalated it to a violent encounter…

It's worse than this. During an interview with Dana Loesch earlier today (a follow-up to being on Huckabee's radio show), Akin explained what he meant by "legitimate." He meant that a lot of times when someone says it's rape, it's a false claim. In other words, the word legitimate isn't referring to the act of…

Has Soledad O'Brien been watching The Newsroom?

Right. Encouraging you to feel that this thing you've got now isn't REALLY your body, it's some kind of enemy imposter, and if only you were good enough you'd get your body back is so harmful.

And a leather daddy interlude was the tenderest moment of your day.

Sorry, I'm trying to hold it in. But seeing Myrna Minkoff comment about New Orleans is a bit too meta for me to let it pass unremarked upon.

I just laughed so hard I scared my cat off my laptop keyboard.

Elvis was nobody. He wasn't on TMZ once, not ever.

It's funny you should drag Stephen Colbert into this, since he covered this story on his show last night. He took her what's up with the jews business a bit more seriously than you do. I mean, in his way. And he used it as a launching point for his campaign to be the first non-Swede allowed to take a turn in charge…

Thank you for that, that is perfect.

Hey, look at the bright side, lady lawyers: ageism is also pretty rampant at big law firms, so actually, it is quite unlikely that you will be interviewed by anyone born before 1950.

That's the first time I've ever liked a vessel sink.

Seriously.

I just want you to know I've been laughing at this for the last 24 hours. And I probably will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

I was listening to it on headphones at work, and for the last 10 minutes I was just openly weeping. Oh, man, that last interview. When he was talking about how sad it is to outlive everyone and watching his life "empty out." I haven't quite recovered yet, certainly not enough to watch this video now.

The way it was explained to me at the fertility seminar I went to a couple of years ago is that the vagina is most of the time a fairly acidic environment, inhospitable to sperm. It's only when your body produces cervical mucous in the few days before ovulating that it becomes welcoming to sperm. The mucous serves…

If Moonstruck is the measuring stick, I'd have to say I'm not sure there was ever one as good before it either. God I love that movie. (Full disclosure: every time I hear a doorbell ring, my inner voice singsongs, "It's Johnny Camerrari." All my life..)

Yes. Tentpole movies are dark times for moviemaking. And may I refine your point one step further? What is killing the industry is the focus on big tentpole movies that are marketable worldwide (that is, comic book action that doesn't depend on dialogue-heavy scenes).

Actually, I heard Jason Segel tell the story in an interview, and it's kind of even more awesome. He DIDN'T ask her to be in anything. Instead, a few times when he was on red carpets and someone asked him who IS the mother (on How I Met Your Mother), he's started answering that he thinks it might be Hillary Clinton.…

HOW has Katherine Heigl not been cast as Ellen Burstyn's daughter, or young Ellen Burstyn in a flashback or something? Ever since she cut her hair short, every picture looks like an open letter to any casting director who is working on a secret untitled Ellen Burstyn project.
