She also organizes my colognes and combs.

Love the floaty-to-pool ratio.

Church organist/piano player is no game in the black church. No game. You have to be ready with a riff for whomever is preaching and match their spontaneous feelings at a moments notice. It’s a gift.

I’m in the same boat - it was a beautiful, poignant speech.

But - and I’m sorry to nitpick - it’s President Obama, not Mr. Obama. It’s just polite to use the proper honorific.

The people at Gawker did a hell of a thing when they hired Greg Howard to write for them, and I am sure I’m not the only one who is thankful they did.

I don’t think anyone will remember her by then.

You know, he kind of looks like he could be MJ’s actual spawn.

My orders can be annoying some times, so I always make sure to modify my tip (up) in accordance with how annoying my order/request is. One time I ordered a veggie burger with “extra” blue cheese crumbles. Burger came covered in blue cheese AND the server brought extra crumbles on the side. When the bill came, there…

“Useless fucking paper clip”: best description of a human I’ve ever read. MORE STORIES, LINDSEY.

I'd love a week of only hotel / movie theatre stories. I can only imagine what those poor souls have to put up with in a daily basis...

Part of me really wanted Momager to actually smack Psycho Santa with the pizza pan.

We don’t know know if she is mentally ill as could be cultural appropriation gone wrong. Maybe she was desperate for a sense of belonging and couldn’t figure out a way out. I am curious about the husband.

Although, the laws for race on state/federal forms are vague. If you’re a white South African, you can still claim your race as African. If you’re from Hawaii, technically you can mark your race as Asian/South Pacific Islander even if you are white, black or Hispanic. You just have to be able to prove that, even…

It’s not about diminishing her responsibility by claiming mental illness, it’s about understanding her motives and responsibility without burning her at the stake. All this fucking hatred directed at her doesn’t do anything. Show some restraint and wait for the story to develop before eviscerating the perpetrator.

Unless the job description actually said that being black was a requirement for the position, or in the case of equal qualifications that they were going to give preference to black people, then there is absolutely ZERO wrong or illegal about her lying about being black.

She applied for a city position, so if she lied on that application, she did brek a law.

I think creating a whole separate identity based on subterfuge probably means you have some underlying issues. It’s probably not illegal, nor should be. Unless she took a scholarship intended for a minority person. That would be deeply wrong....

The problem is not that she’s a white person leading an NAACP chapter. The problem is that she’s a white person who seemingly lied about being black and then headed an NAACP chapter.

We don’t do showers in the UK; they’re viewed as grasping and tacky. But if I got an invitation stating no boxed gifts, my gift would be lots of tupperware boxes, individually wrapped.
