Oh, we have a family wide Caillou ban.

Obligatory bitching about HBO's Sesame Street.

I see it as an example of his bull headed, tilting-at-windmills personality more than his politics, but his politics have become so entwined with his personality in the past few years that it's hard for me to separate one from the other.

for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf is a famous and important work of theatre that Perry turned into a melodrama.

I have a right wingnut uncle who refused to switch to touchtone because the phone company levied a surcharge for touchtone service. My cousin's friends would come to her house and stare with bafflement at the rotary phone when they needed to call home.

Was anyone else amused by the difference in lighting quality between CNN's Milania interview and Fox's? She looked heavily, and unflatteringly, made up on CNN. On Fox she looked like they had brought in Barbra Streisand's personal lighting team.

I want to be Helen Mirren when I grow up.

Has anyone rewatched Caligula lately? If Caesonia looks seventy, I think we've found our answer.

(When did this place and the Onion debut on the internet? *Remembers not fondly the sound of dial up modems.*)

All good and valid points. I'm on the "Which sort of destruction would your prefer?" continuum. If my car is rusting out, I can at least drive it until the seats fall through the floorboard. If it blows up, I have much bigger problems.

Cute. Please learn how to capitalize the beginnings of your sentences before lecturing me on cliches.

Check out Mr. Five Comments, all of which are on this article.

That said, the first time I saw swastika graffiti after I had married my ethnically Jewish husband (raised atheist, converted to Christianity in college) was a completely different experience for my shiksha self. Pre-married-to-Jew: offended and disgusted. Post-married-to-Jew: physiological flight-or-fight response.
