FFS, I haven't even picked out my Halloween costume yet. Chill the fuck out, Bronners.

@WashingMyHair: i know and kudos. During the summer, i mostly did it to commiserate with the legislative assistants who had to deal with the kooks. It does seem futile at times, but I was just pointing out that latoya's advice is even more so. Seriously unless you are in their district or state, they don't really…

@LolaLane: make it happen! jk, except kinda not really.

I'm not sure how helpful it will be to send these senators letters (esp emails) if you aren't from their state. Calling is always better (harder to ignore) but contact your own senate AND house members especially, even if they are already for the public option. Remind them who put the in office.

@BlackFrancine: yes to this cause it means he, wait for it, reads! The best part is when I can also use my vocabulary and he won't make a note of it or look confused. Le sigh.

Gasp! How dare they mention, nay SAY the word, blood (ew) in a period commercial. It's not like one has absolutely anything to do with the other.

@fluxus flucker: the straw thingy is called a bombilla(o?) and they used to sell bottled yerba at whole foods, under the same name.

LOL Snoop Dogg. That is, indeed, the best news ever and now all he has to do is pass me some of the "good shit" (cause ya'll know he's blazed out of his gourde) and we can watch Keeping Up Appearances on repeat.

@LombardCapaneus: seriously, what's that about?

Wow, i've had an ungodly amount of hatecrushes in my life. The most fervent were during my HS theater days, stemming from the resentment of someones saying I was "really good" at building sets (uh, thanks) and seeing that all-together annoying and untalented girl get all the parts. UHG!

Furthermore, it says, "Cleanliness, organization & dedication to education are values of Tibetan culture."

@stacyinbean: both?

@MalinaMango: oh thank goodness I'm not the only one who does this. I especially love when guy celebs date non-celebs, and preferably with "real" jobs and careers.

@VitaNephele: welcome welcom. Omg, i'm 22 and haven't gotten my license yet (even tho i can drive) mostly cause i'm freaked out and want to avoid the responsibility. It's gets worse as you get older so don't be like me!

@BitchIsTheNewBlack: what. the. eff?! It's not showing up for me either and what with the dumb night i've had (including failing to get my herbal remedy), jez web editor(s) please fix!

Men and women like to talk about themselves and their friends. What happened at work, who is breaking up and why, who hooked up with who and how many times, what they heard on the news, who just died, who bought a new car or got a raise etc ....it's just when women do it, it's given a pejorative term, "gossip" and…

@samethingwedoeverynightpinky: not only that, but we've been running on the assertion that democrats, while ideologically similar (or closer, rather) to liberals and progressives are now almost wholly owned by corporate interests. There is no getting around this fact. The only thing their "D" label allows them to do,…

kate, that wall street journal link (and the subsequent comment section) was frightening! Karl Rove claimed that the real number of uninsured is around 5 million! It always amazes me (tho is shouldn't surprise me anymore) how do people get away with passing lies off as facts, and then to get around it, say it is "just…

@hilkaryic: IIRC, she had her arms akimbo while she was sending the death rays. It doesn't look like that was it in this photo.

@Casquivana: I love natalie, mostly because she did something a little unconventional. But once you bring in those other names (don't forget angela basset!), it becomes more obvious that Natalie, while really really beautiful and certified smart by an ivy league, her acting skills are merely ok. Being quirky and…
