Is that the hypocrisy about gay sex Duggary or covering up child molestations Duggary, or some sort of hybrid Duggary definition encapsulating both acts? Because Hastert (and the Duggars) covered both territories.

Take it a step farther and imagine the men in that family, including the molester, had ties to fairly high-profile lib/Dem/centrist pols and the molester was clearly nursing some future political aspirations of his own. The size of the collective brick that would be shat is beyond comprehension.

I wondered a little about the use of the word ‘goober’ in the headline. Then I saw everything else. Oh, yeah. Goober is perfect.

The ‘playing doctor’ angle is horrifying. It connotes innocent mutual exploration. What he did was wait until his victims were asleep — and therefore at their most vulnerable — to sexually assault them. I hate all of these people defending him FOREVER.

I now have two silver-white streaks in my curly brunette hair. I am rocking the HELL out of the Bride of Frankenstein look right now. I haven’t even had to practice the hissing in front of the mirror: it just comes naturally. True story.

My hope is the hair between the streaks will go silver-white. If my hair does go…

If they had to put some damned word on his forehead, ‘Delightful’or ‘Delicious’ or anything incongruous would have been an improvement. Hell, almost any other word but ‘Damaged’ would have worked.

Evans offered a sincere apology along the lines of ‘what we said was stupid and immature, and we shouldn’t have gone there’. Lamentably, Renner’s response was (and this is almost verbatim) ‘I’m sorry the jokes we made about a fictional character offended people.’ I’m a little bummed Renner opted for the classic…

It also fucking fails because heterosexual high school girls like one good friend of mine went in a tux for our prom (almost 25 years ago, no less) because she felt all kinds of hot/awesome/happy wearing one. (I went with my own joy for prom by skipping it and ordering pizza and watching horror movies with another…

May I ask you to spoil that alternate ending for me? I'm not in a headspace where I can take myself through the game (or even watch the above vid) but I can handle the removed experience of reading a description. So, please?

I think I had been playing the original Witcher for three days before I noticed almost every humanoid male monster has a dick, complete with a dick's floppy physics. I couldn't stop cracking up (and endangering Geralt) during fights for almost a week after that. It was as much because I hadn't immediately noticed as…

I remember when he went into rehab in 2004. I'm sorry that he's back to (as you rightly identify it) not being able to manage his disease.

'...investigating the mater'. That is a rare perfect typo, my friend.

oh, Jesus. That bag of tools. I hadn't popped open another tab to see check why he sounded familiar because I wanted to finish the comments first. I remember him all too well now.

Don't be so cynical. Rupert Murdoch's people might have hired him to write copy about the current President for all of Murdoch's media outlets.

That's why I was so confused by this announcement. Yesterday was its own massive whirlwind drama over here*, so I spent about twenty minutes searching the news about Harper Lee. I finally gave up and erred on the side of friendship because I knew the recent loss of Alice had been pretty damned hard on the family. …

I'm friends with one of her great-nephews, Marshall Lee. When Marshall and I talked about the family connection (he was showing me the copy of TKM she had given him) years ago, he said her specific request had been for her second novel to only be published after she died. Her reasons were a) she never wanted to hear…

I have never done that with another actor and character. I was a high school senior when it came out and still young enough to have not seen that betrayal coming. OMG. I reached my life's peak teenage high dudgeon when they discovered the money was gone. It was SO UNFAIR. I specifically stuck around to watch the…

The shortest, politest version I can offer is that Sandy Hook truthers are fucking lunatic anti-Obama NRA cultists who insist that the government was actually behind that particular mass murder as part of a sekrit plan to take away their guns. There are some variations available, including one that states that no…

Back when I was in university and working as a RA, we were given the info in training that, with some students, claiming veganism is a way to mask the start of anorexia. A couple of years later, this turned out to be exactly the case with a friend of mine. #notallvegans, I know, but it really is a scarily effective…

I saw someone make a pretty fair argument that Brad Pitt is quietly the real-deal unconventional, dedicated, pretty cool guy that we all thought Johnny Depp was until the Amber Heard period of his life began. (Full disclosure: mostly I was impressed with this argument because it took me over two decades to stop…
