Does anyone but me remember Clinton’s appearence on the Today show when he was a candidate and a caller (they were doing a call in segment) asked if he would release all the hidden info on UFOs if he were elected. Clinton didn’t miss a beat. He paused, sort of shrugged and said “Sure.” And that was that. I remember…

I was really hoping this post was going to be about how to rock the runway in your best Jedi or Bounty Hunter cosplay ensemble.

I’m willing to entertain the idea that the amount of violence perpetuated by football players and ex-football players, particularly NFL players, has a connection not only to misogynist culture within the sport, the entitlement of athletes and the aggression required to play certain positions well, but also the…

One thing I’m sure of, that going into space, especially in the 60s and 70s meant seeing a whole bunch of stuff you didn’t know what to make of. Astronauts of yore were mostly Air Force guys chosen for their manliness and bravery (Tom Wolfe tells us this.) , not scientists who would understand the limits of the human…

Monsieur Roland and I in a position to be picking names. Jagger will not go on the list for either a boy or a girl. Even though I remain an Antonio Sabato Jr. fan to this day.

I saw a morbidly obsese man, as in he had a seatbelt extention and had to walk with a cane, berate a flight attendant for nearly an hour because she wouldn’t bring him a mixed drink from first class. She offered him beer or wine from coach, but he demanded a mixed drink from first class. To put his demand in context,…

Even if the father is not abusive, putting the kids in juvenile detention for believing and being loyal to their mom is abusive and won’t/most certainly didn’t undo whatever alienation tactics the mother has used (assuming she did for a moment). Those weeks in detention probably just gave the kids more reason to hate…

I live near the site of the Battle of Germantown. Happy 4th Everyone.

About five years ago, I was the victim of a true and honest to god conspiracy at my office. Where sexism comes into play is not who was perpetrating it (mostly women but some men) but how they used my gender against me. Some years ago a woman was hired for a job outside my division and for a far less high profile and…

Most of these were so-so to awful, but Kings was a great show. Yes, given it's high concept and intelligence, its budget was always going to be too high to make it pay off, but it's worth a binge watch if you haven't seen it.

It sure looks like they have evidence that it was a human, but my first thought was a hungry and delighted family of javelinas.

My parents took a trip through here in the 80s, and I remember this because my mother was reading one of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" books with the running joke about Arthur Dent finding his suitcase that was lost in the Athens airport on another planet (with a half a bottle of Sangria still in it). My…

Monsieur Roland and I got a Roku, and we inquired about cutting the tv off entirely and just getting internet. Hulu Plus in HD is gorgeous on Roku. But, it was in fact cheaper to get the internet plus deal, which is crazy. And screw Comcast for not allowing us to get HBO through the Roku.

It's true. You see that in a lot of professions, not just business. In Hollywood, heaven & earth was moved to keep the public from finding out about Mel Gibson's rage issues, misogyny and antisemitism, until he he got older and wasn't a sure fire leading man anymore and his follow-ups to the Jesus movie tanked.

The whole plot was set in motion by a seemingly secondary character.

This is a great and thoughtful piece of writing. The only thing I will add is that I hate the fact that the conversation about rape and rape culture is centered upon wealthy, famous and powerful male television executives who spend a significant amount of time casting young talented women to appear naked and/or…

I'm genuinely curious what knockoffs based on the runaway success of Frozen will be like. It's even hard to believe now but there was a loud outcry about the "twist" being hurtful and mean to little girls (from women) but that complaint has long faded. I even wonder if the remake of Private Benjamin has been greenlit…

It's also very possible that she was developing a kind of dementia that involves losing impulse control, which could explain her failed driving test and why a sweet woman would pull out a gun and brandish it at police. That means she probably did need her license revoked, should not have been allowed that gun to begin…

It takes courage and grit to be a liberal and face down the true crazies in Texas. RIP Molly Ivins and Anne Richards, two great women who are very much missed.

That's an awful lot of murders for people that young. I'd say someone is living in a fantasy world, too bad they tried to make the fantasy real at least once.
