You mean fluff-weight, milquetoast, expressionless, boring junk?

I finally gave in and watched the video for “thank you, next,” just to see all the pop culture references. This was also the first time I heard the song, and I just found it so incredibly blah. I kept waiting for it to kick in in some way but the whole thing felt like a terribly slow intro or something.

“I’m convinced a sizeable portion of our elected officials are faking it.”

One of my friends suggested I run for a local office a couple of years ago, because I’m generally pretty civic minded. She was surprised when I told her I could never get elected. Why? I’m an atheist and I refuse to lie about that with some bullshit lipservice like, “I was raised Catholic.”

Sounds about White.

We’re teaching our kid to start calling all adults Mrs. or Mr. to start off. Then if she/he wants to go by the first name or anything else, that’s fine.

That baby doesn’t like pink, pink has been thrust upon her.

FRANKIE SAYS RELAX, Jessica Simpson. Clearly Portman was using her photo as an example of how the MEDIA pushes so many messages to women and young girls. Be sexy! But be a virgin! But be a good girl! But guys only like girls who put out! etc., and etc. Jeebus, why is everything so fucking personal?

Who the fuck would choose Nick Jonas for anything, let alone a lifelong romantic partner? Are we sure Chopra isn’t being blackmailed or drugged?
