The problem (I think) is that they are in uniform—-that looks like a ceremonial uniform instead of their everyday uniform, but a US Military uniform all the same. It’s a private photo, but they are in uniform. I’m guessing (or really, just hoping because of Freedom of Speech type of issues) that if these young ladies…

Any political statement while in uniform is against their rules. I think it is a silly regulation, but I’m not in the military. Holding up a fist is a traditional Black Power symbol—-and that falls under ‘making a political statement while in uniform’ Even if they were holding up “I’m with her” signs, or ‘we need…

LL Bean is awesome for boots and coats. Actually quality—Lands End *used* to be like that in the 80s for basics like sweats, but I think they ruined their stuff when they moved into Sears. Why Lands End thinks there is money’s in become a poor grade J Crew when even JCrew is having a tough time right now is beyond me.

He went to so much trouble to create a vault for his music, where (if the news is correct) he was the only person with the combination to get into it, he would have created a will if he’d wanted to. So yeah, I think you are right—-maybe he just didn’t care about it very much because he didn’t have any dependents.

Roman Holiday is such fun. If you want to get a sense of her work, watch that one.

You’d think there would be some noise to rename this product if you shouldn’t use it on the thing that is actually part of the product’s name.

For someone’s “use it every day after a shower” routine, everyday for 20 years isn’t unusual, or even very hard to do. I’m sure my grandmother probably did that for at least 40 years.

I *think* that switch was only done in the products they sell in the UK. The UK is much more aggressive about investigating the cancer\talc link and made much more noise to J+J than the US.

You should read the book. No one can make an argument that will resonate with you unless you read it. The way the hospital disrespected Henrietta and her family-and hundreds of other black patients and experiment subjects is a huge part of the puzzle.

Exactly. All politicians are like this. It's part of being a politician.

Honest as it describes her demeanor, the way she puffed up the importance of her work for the Children’s Defense Fund when it suited her, the way she treated Obama’s 08 run with ‘I can’t believe I’m losing to this guy’ ‘I get the hard working people, the white people to vote for me’ disrespect and now expects to get…

I would say that any natural born American citizen is eligible to run. Qualified demonstrates a skill set. I’m eligible, but definitely not qualified to run for President. My geography background is based on whatever I learned in high school, I’m not a great public speaker, don't have any military experience and I…

I’m a realist when it comes to US presidential politics. I doubt that many of our politicians are honest—it’s a character flaw that many politicians have—but in modern American politics, I don’t think it disqualifies them from the presidency. Experience as a senator and Secretary of State= highly qualified for the…

Seriously. I don’t like Hillary, and I don't think she's an honest person, but anyone who tries to say that she isn’t qualified for this office is delusional.

Some people like the lowered pressure of an ensemble cast though, and prefer that situation to holding half of a show on your shoulders. Maybe that’s part of what’s going on here.

I guess so! tech savvy with cooking gadgets, I am not :)

Did anybody post this one yet? Questlove and Prince

This is the first time I realized that she was in her 70s when she wrote Ramona, Forever!!! OMG, I feel like that little kid you mentioned because how on earth is she SO talented at getting the child experience SO right?

And the whole tube of toothpaste she squeezed out into the sink and her mom made her put it in a jar and she had to USE it all herself! I was 8 when I read Ramona Quimby, age 8 and it was just real life.
