"It's not clear why Lohse, who certainly seemed to enjoy a bit of the ol' hazing in his day, is speaking out now."

When Michelle Obama encourages folks to eat healthy, it's worthy, but if a religious guy does, it is not? We can't play this like Rush Limbaugh, trashing someone who is trying to make a difference just because we don't like everything else about them. Even Mike Huckabee came out in defense of Michelle Obama. We…

He did show up, but the name is a pure Disney creation. He was nameless before the movie.

Last night I said that Grumpy's name was just another bit of evidence of the unholy alliance between ABC and Disney. That and Jiminy Cricket, who exists pretty much only in the movie and not in the fairytale.

Tip #348: If you plan to breast feed, use a completely weird nickname for your boobs. Do not use "num nums" or "boobies" or "mommy milk" or "nurse" or anything like that. Small children will say their first words unexpectedly, so even if you plan to stop nursing before you think they will be talking, you may still…

The problem is that when you tell people that buying something will support charity, they are often willing to pay more, since it is going to a good cause. If Kim sold something the plain way, she might get $50 dollars, but sell it for charity and it could bring in $100. So even giving 10% away, she still makes $90,…

I promise that the transgender girl has more to fear from this bigot than the other way around.

Facts:

This wasn't about punishment vs no punishment. It was about *physical* punishment vs non-physical punishment. So there are consequences, just not spanking.

Isn't he complaining about what OTHER designers are saying? He isn't saying that size 10 is or is not a plus size, he is saying that most designers don't want women who are a size 10 or more wearing their clothes. He is scolding THEM, not the size 10 "plus-size" women.

If we don't tell our girls they are beautiful, the rest of the world will conspire to tell them they are ugly. Why does a magazine cover get to own the definition of beauty? Fuck that. WE get to define beauty, and it is our responsibility to make sure that all girls (and boys) know that there are a thousand ways to…

Once again, the CDC report did NOT say anything about sex being a big reason for girls not being vaccinated! That is completely untrue! I read through the report (but can't find the link now) and they said the main reason people did not get it was that it was not required by law. In Rhode Island it is required by…

In this particular case, the FDA wouldn't have power over the French government. The women in question here are all French. Plus, the FDA did actually prohibit the sale of these implants in the US, so they have some power.

If Kim pays 10.3%, then yes, that would be $1,236,000.

A guy like that who wants to abuse you with food issues is probably attracted to women who already struggle with food. I'm really glad you didn't stay with him! That's just another form of abusive controlling relationship.

I sent an invite to the president and vice president. I got a preprinted card from the Clintons and a hand typed note (including typos) that was signed (with real pen) by Tipper Gore! So cool! You can also send an invite to the pope, but I wasn't interested in that.

I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing. My point was that your body doesn't look the same and never will, but it is still your body. You didn't lose your body, it just changed.

Original sin is like peanut butter. When Adam and Eve screwed up, they screwed up for all humans. So everyone that is born gets smeared with some of their Original Sin brand peanut butter. We are all born dirty, essentially, because we are all descended from Adam and Eve and they were dirty (if you believe this…

No, she had a mom and a dad, but before she was born, God decided she was special. So instead of giving her a little piece of the sin from Adam and Eve, like everyone else gets, she was born completely without sin. All in preparation for the big kahuna, and yada yada, the rest is history.

Good Lord, no! My heavens, such a question! God asked Mary to be the mother, she said sure, God said awesome and dropped a bun in her oven. Joseph was just a nice guy willing to be the step-dad. So there was no sin involved in making Jesus, but it wasn't called the immaculate conception. Go to church, child. I…
