Yes, awful and in incredibly poor taste.

Frankly, you are completely denying Gabby her own agency here and imposing on her and her choice an interpretation that I seriously doubt was her intention. She is a smart, funny, talented woman and to say this is what her choice meant whether she consciously thought about it or not is pretty demeaning to her…

No, the joke is that it wasn't his fiance coming down the aisle, full stop. Neither of your interpretations occurred to me at all.

And that's why he married a woman with a sense of humor.

I have never flushed mine; like you, I would be surprised if it most people did.

Slightly off topic, but I always feel slightly judged for my inability to use OB Tampons. They somehow acquired this aura of better-than-ness and I'm not sure why. I just need an applicator, and I don't want to have to apologize for it!

They are her children by her first, late, husband; not "their" kids.

I have never been able to use OB's. They actually hurt me going in and never feel secure. So, I really don't care what the motivation for applicators was, they are a godsend for me.

Well, er, there's that whole part about her not really liking his kids and planning to pack them off to boarding school....

I don't know how you could have omitted the Yale Whiffenpoofs from this list. (They also happen to be the oldest college a capella group).

She should have worn that bikini to the Met Ball. It would have been the epitome of punk, and she looks great!

The fact that he may have done bad things in his past doesn't negate the good thing he did here. People aren't perfect, and the insistence on purity from "heroes" is oppressive and unrealistic. The reports I have seen say he apologized to his wife and children for his behavior, and it sounds like his ex-wife has to…

For all the women so eager to give Ms. Prinz a full pass for her behavior, I'm guessing most of you haven't had your husband fall in love with someone in your social circle. I have, and I believe that of course the husband is hugely, even mainly at fault. But I also believe there is a special place in hell for women…

Spoken like someone who hasn't had her husband cheat on her.

They are both assholes. Just because the husband is in the wrong doesn't mean she isn't, too.

They are wonderful experiences for many, many people. Coachella is probably the best of them. Great sound, creative art installations, a really nice vibe most of the time, and beautiful surroundings; plus, many people rent houses in Palm Springs and don't show up until dusk, when the heat subsides, so you can pool…

There was an article in, I think, the NY Times about the boys of Girls in which Abbott came across as an incredibly pretentious douchebag. The comment that sticks in my memory is his claiming his parents had no idea he was on the show until late into the first season. The implication was that they really didn't "do"…

She is indeed an extraordinary writer. Her piece last year on the Second Amendment turns the conventional wisdom about its meaning on its head, and is a must-read for anyone looking to counter Second Amendment fundamentalists.

Are you trying to be funny? Because this is what the article you cited says: "Since 2001, premiums for family health coverage have increased 78 percent, according to a 2007 report by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Premiums averaged $12,106, of which workers paid $3,281, according to the report."

I am a small business owner and our healthcare costs did not skyrocket.
