A Republian Facebook friend posted this list of silliness yesterday as if it was some great revelation. I couldn't bring myself to point out how weak all of this was — not wanting to kick someone when they are down, and all that. But the other effect of the litany was to remind me of poor Seamus.

Well, see, now I've learned something!

There is a reasonably sized Jewish population here, but the number of Jews in public schools is vanishingly small. And I'm not sure where in the US public schools are closed for Jewish holidays. Are the NYC schools closed?

Yeah, I kinda noticed that, too. I certainly was rolling my eyes to the point of a headache at the claim that she was going away because of "anxiety."

I think when you suffer the pain of a marriage being exploded by infidelity, you come to really value honesty — and she clearly does, which is why I like her so much.

Brandi Glanville's comment on Ms. Rimes's decision to go to rehab was just lovely. I can't help but think that you reap what you sow, though. Having suffered through the demise of a marriage because of infidelity, I pay extra attention to couples who started out of infidelity. My non-scientific survey says that it…

Oh puhleez.

Since she didn't stop because of her age or any age-related physical weakness, I'm not sure what the point of putting her age in this piece was — except to be a tad ageist.

I think that's iceberg lettuce.

What the actual fuck?

I didn't notice anything about her hair; what I did notice was that she was refreshingly not made up like a Vegas stripper unlike, er, some of the lady gymnasts. I found the gobs of stripper glitter on the Russian team incredibly distracting. I would much prefer that these girls be allowed to be athletes and not be…

No, they do not have a "high risk of breast cancer." The researchers merely found an association between something no one can do anything about (large babies) and breast cancer; and of course it was a single study. Just fucking stop it — stop writing about epidemiologic studies unless you know what you are talking…

Imma just go with evil asshole. Crazy implies a lack of volition and responsibility for the bile she spews, and mean girl implies this has something to do with her being a woman. She is scum.

I don't see it as an Apatow reference. So, so many movies involve the girlfriend angrily demanding that her boyfriend get it together.

I really home Teen Vogue has some sense of shame, but they probably don't. Nasty pieces of work, those editors.

I personally cannot wait for menopause. Why would I want to get the cramps and the general crappy feelings all over again?

God, that was just painful to watch. Awkward.

This seems pretty cool to me. In what way would you anticipate blaxsploitation?

The fact that he may have thought he was being more laudatory by limiting her to the role of great woman economist doesn't change the fact that this is a deeply problematic way to describe someone. No one would say a man was the greatest male economist of the 20th century, because of course we assume only men can be…

I've been thinking about sending a letter all day. I think I will.
