It has always bothered me too. Not necessarily because she may have a disability, but like...I don't know. That's someone real whose face was used a) yes, because of a funny expression, but b) probably also because she's overweight, old, and not conventionally attractive. It has always seemed really shitty to me.

That makes me think of Arrested Development, when Buster (as a child) is angry at their maid Rosa and destroys the kitchen, thinking that's where she lives.

I have thought about this before, too. I wonder what the answer is. Celebrities who read Jezebel, chime in!

Federalism? Federalism was all about agreeing with you. Hamilton and his buds were like "Um we need to strengthen the national government if we're ever going to be solid and get shit done." Reagan's little campaign for more states' rights was sometimes referred to as "New Federalism," if that's what you mean.

Yeah, I've heard it used for non-Jews as well....it just really doesn't sit well with me still.

Yeah, the phrase "Jewish American Princess" (and related acronyms) is something that gets thrown around a lot (particularly in the tri-state area in and around NYC, although I did hear it a number of times growing up further away). It's supposed to connote a certain type of Jewish girl who is very spoiled, usually…

I know she said that. I stand by what I said. I don't even really like when my fellow Jews use it, but it grates me really really hard when non-Jews use it. Even when quoting a Jewish woman who used it in reference to herself.

I could go into many paragraphs about this issue (I'm sure someone has written books), but in short I will just say you can be half Jewish according to most Jews. Yeah, many Orthodox communities probably would not consider someone without a Jewish mother to be Jewish. It really doesn't apply to most modern…

Wait, what? She is half Jewish. Her father was Jewish and she has said they were raised celebrating both Jewish and Christian holidays.

She has always been my least favorite part of the show. Luckily everyone else is so awesome it cancels her out.

Maybe it's just a matter of which version you saw first? My first exposure to Peter Pan was from the Mary Martin TV version, so I find the Disney cartoon with a little boy to be super weird.

Not just public schools - almost any non-Catholic/Jesuit type school RAs should have these! They actually encouraged us not to keep them on our doors/in the hallway because of potential condom sabotage (poking holes, etc - I think this was probably an urban myth that never really happened in practice, but it scared…

Can't quite tell if you're being dismissive or just saying okay, soooo...okay!

Well, I generally consider "old hollywood/the golden age of hollywood" to have ended around 1960. And Debbie Reynolds got her start in the 50s as well.

Hey now! Mitzi Gaynor, Eva Marie Saint, Maureen O'Hara, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Sidney Poitier, and George Kennedy would like a word!

Yeahhhh if Maria didn't know....she...should have.

YES. I truly believe it is all about power. That's why my go-to is earbuds in the ears, stone faced, with zero reaction. So they (hopefully) assume I didn't hear them. Sure, the occasional asshole will keep on his mission and follow me for a bit, sometimes shouting his comment louder and louder. But I give them no…

Yup, he did. Many other 12-30 year olds were disappointed with you.

Pssshhh. As per usual, a boy band member did it years ago and better!

I think they started out that way, but most of those shows have shifted away from that in the last few seasons. Grey's especially sorts the story out pretty evenly among the cast (and last season was very Yang-heavy due to her departure), and Walking Dead has kind of shifted to that model too (although Tyrese, Glenn,…
