Does the story of John Heard death not deserve its own post?

 Not necessarily a danger, but unfit. And yes that is a valid reason for removal from the home. My wife is a social worker, I’m a therapeutic mentor we’ve both worked with mentally handicapped parents as well as as abusive ones. In both situations there are salvageable cases as well utterly ruinous ones.

Obama didn’t win because of the Democratic Party infrastructure, he won in spite of it because he was a dynamic candidate and his election wasn’t a ringing endorsement of neoliberal centrist positions, it was a recognition of that dynamism.

Okay, I have to ask it. What is all this nonsense use of the word “clapped” I keep seeing all over the place. Christie Brinkley “clapped” her car doors? She gave them a round of applause? I keep seeing all these headlines “Minor celebrity ‘clapped’ back at fat shamers.” I picture people aggressively applauding their…

I would be WRECKED. I can’t imagine dealing with the grief and loss and doing the emotional work that would be necessary to be OK after losing one of my dogs just to have her stupid ass show up 9 months later all “O HAI AM DOG BEEN ON VACAY LOL YOLO!”

All I know is, if my dog disappeared for nine months and we thought she was dead, and then she suddenly showed up again, I would weep. That’s a good girl. Dogs are amazing. And thank goodness for dedicated dog rescuers.

All dogs are good.

I knew I should not have read this, every time I read stories about dogs I end up crying...

My guess is they think they’re going to get a Eddie Murphy/Donkey kind of winning performance. But Smith is all wrong after Robin Williams. If his voice weren’t so annoying, I’d say Chris Tucker if they’re going African American genie. Or... Samuel L. Jackson????

I feel the slam on Garner but “. “Lindsay refused to back down or quit the affair,” also speaks to Shookus’ lack of character. No winners and two losers.

I find it funny that Beyonce and Jay Z are so hung up on Becky, and he even tells her to let it go.

This is so much more common than the Rachel Dolezals of the world. It makes me so angry to hear someone who claims to have Cherokee (or other tribe or even just “Indian”) blood use their false mantle of authority to say things like, “I don’t have a problem with the Redskins name. I think it honors us.” I just want to…

“Spends most of the time knitting alone and refusing to mix with others.” Is my ideal Saturday night.

I was all ready to storm in, guns blazing, in defense of Wonder Woman but after perusing the article, I’m...not quite sure what question is she’s even being asked, or even what the point is she’s trying to get to, really, and ended up realizing the flow of the conversation seems really strange and almost, in a way,…

I watched John Oliver’s show on vaccines last night. He said that vaccines are victims of their own success. I have to agree with him on that. My parents knew children maimed or killed by illnesses vaccines prevented. Both of them had measles and were quarantined. My grandfather’s whole family was killed by the…

He thinks that about everything. This salad is tasty, but it’s missing something... Ah, yes. JAY-SUS.

Huh? Jon Hamm was with Jennifer Westfeldt for 18 years up until a couple of years ago. She’s 47. Who else has he been linked to? Also, I’m 33 and would totally date someone in their mid 40s.

We have a dearth of people who can think critically about literally anything here in the U.S., let alone people who can think critically about legal matters.

My first thought was “Of course she grabbed a knife, she thought some lunatic was trying to break into the house where her kids were!”
