And what about the dog fighting and uses of bait dogs that occurs all across the U.S.A.??? One of my pet peeves is when Americans go overseas to do charity work* (and make a big deal about it) that they can do right here domestically.

Yes. Stern really knows how to pull things out of people that they will never discuss anywhere else. He is a master interviewer.

I think there’s only one thing missing from your otherwise excellent analysis: good interviewers also have to be interested in people that are not themselves. I think that’s the real obstacle to the Kardashians in this respect; they just don’t care enough about anyone who isn’t them to ask engaging questions.

You can go without food longer than you can go without water. I wonder what the conditions in the elevator were too. If she was dehydrated and the elevator got very hot it would have made her sicker.

I’m inclined to agree. My SO’s oldest son shot himself just over a year ago. People go to great lengths to soften it when they talk about it. I know they mean well... But it was horrific (and still is) and frankly I think it should be jarring and uncomfortable for people, especially if it drives even one person into…

No snark intended, I feel like putting the word suicide in a header should be ample warning about the topic at hand. One should proceed with caution if that is really a trigger for them.

I think we need to be as frank as possible when it comes to suicide. Get it out there, instead of couching it in terminology. How many suicides are described as having “died unexpectedly,” or are mentioned in almost pleasant terms such as “took their own life,” “ended their own life.” Maybe a few more stories about…

I’m a single mom to a very young child. I already have a nanny that works 50+ hour weeks, and friends that are maxxed out filling in for me beyond that so I can do basic things like get haircuts and therapy appointments. I work a demanding full-time job in finance. When the tragedy occurred that granted me single mom…

But support is a tremendous help; which is why addicts benefit from a milieu approach. But I get what you’re saying; she can’t take all the credit for his sobriety here.

While that is a factual statement, support can be the difference between success and failure in getting sober. We can’t belittle her contribution to the process IF she was that kind of partner.

Yeah. I know. ...I actually woke up the other day and realized I would be for regulation of the internet if it prevented 10 year olds from thinking that sex done right means the woman cries as she’s choked during forceful, unwilling oral sex. At least back when everything was in print there were gatekeepers, even just…

That sounds fake. Link/source?

Kahlua, Absolute Vodka, Milk and Ice. It's a glorious drink.

Guys, big news this week with my kid. The other night I felt like poo after they had dance class, so I decided to take the kids to McDonald’s to avoid cooking and give myself a chance to just sit (that sound you hear in the distance is one of Food Babe’s neck veins exploding).

ugly, ugly dresses

When she was promoting Hard Candy with aaaaall those crotch shots, my son and I (14 at the time) somehow got talking about her kids. I told to imagine it was me in those photos, and that everybody at his school could just google them and take a good look at his mum in lycra.

She is anxious and/or has anxiety, and is really in the family dynamic.

I think she’s related to the Jenner brothers? Wait, the man her mom is divorcing right now was once married to the Jenner brother’s mom. Her stepsisters are the Jenners’ stepsisters? How many degrees of Kevin Bacon does it take before it’s not weird? So many question marks.

I live in Indianapolis and the entire city has been shocked by this. And everyone, from Amanda’s husband, her neighbors, the police, and members of the African American community, along with the Ten Point Coalition, a group of AA ministers working with the police to better relations in that community, have been…

Oh my god it would be so cute in the classroom!
