@ShanaElmsford: She did. She got it fixed after she was eliminated, though. I didn't actually see the show, but I read it in an interview.

@judgingnora: I completely agree. You can say they aren't your taste, but that doesn't change their extraordinary technical achievement within their mediums.

@Grim Reaper of the Forest: Yeah, I don't know what Helen was going on about. Rich asked good questions, and the only parts that I thought Cy was a little dodgy was the weight/self-esteem portions. It was a good interview, and Rich is the best. I really admire his down-to-earth feminism, how he doesn't fall into…

@Skellatrix: I was going to say the same thing. I don't remember her name, but she did bust her implant. It maybe wasn't as bad, I think it was just leaking and she got it dealt with after she was eliminated that episode. This looks really fucked up and painful though. Implants are kind of creepy.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: Regardless of whether they have a formal agreement, a proportion of his salary (individually determined by the state) has to go to child support. So she can sue him for the unpaid child support, but it may not be the same amount as their agreement.

@pond-side-over: Ugh, I know. I've heard him explain his plan so many times, I could recite it word for word with the little pauses in there and everything. The reason people still don't get it is either because they don't want to get it, or they're listening to the pundits who are purposely misleading them.

@BAngieB: Obama's platform has always been against gay marriage, so at least in that sense we're getting what we voted for. The thing I'm pissed at him about is not repealing DADT, because that would be so easy.

@ExtensionOfBob: Not only that, they're very selective about their mates, even in the wild, and their offspring are dependent for many years, meaning that they may only reproduce a couple of times in a lifetime, if at all.

I said this in a reply, but in the original episode, they focused on three different projects— in Chicago, LA, and Montana, so they did show diversity. The government housing in Montana was almost totally white, and seemed pretty rural, so they did show a variety of experiences. You can still watch that episode…

@babydollhathnofury: In the original episode, "True LIfe: I Live in the Projects", they covered three different projects, one in LA, one in Chicago, and one in... I don't remember where, because it was somewhere like Indiana where everyone was white and lived in a fairly decent house. So they did try to show…

@polypam: She's stood on a platform while handing out photos for quite a while, to show her dominance over the girls. It's just extra obvious now that they're short. I was wondering if they would forgo the platform this cycle, but apparently not. Also, they're forcing all the girls to wear flats at judging. …

@wakatopatopa is karl lagerfeld: The Yuqui tribe in Bolivia believed that the way for a girl to come into puberty is by having a lot of sex, usually with close male relatives. Of course after puberty, it wasn't acceptable to actually have a relationship with those relatives. Today I think there are around a hundred…

@HidingInCanada: That really disturbed me. I used to be a sexy undergrad, and I often asked profs for advice on essays. If I'd suspected that they were interpreting that as sexual interest, I would have been mortified and never asked for advice again. I already had issues trying to reconcile being both a busty,…

@dj_chick: I know, right? I almost typed a response to her, but then I realized that she's probably fifteen and grappling with the idea of social injustice for the first time, so it's not worth it. I wasn't nearly as pugnacious, but I had a similar opinion of "how could anyone be proud with all this injustice"…

@Where The Mild Things Are: Hey, good luck. I have three more months before I can apply to MinnesotaCare, since you have to be uninsured for four months before applying. I heard that they were cutting benefits to single people without children, though, which is me.

@bluebears: I actually read a pretty good defense of the jive-talking crows. It said that yeah, to us they look like horrible stereotypes, but you have to keep in mind things like that the same year this movie came out an anti-lynching bill was put before congress and VOTED DOWN. The guy who created the characters…

@Experiment626: Naw, the women of Fox News are sexy conservative minxes, experts in the realm of hetero, marital love. They're not all hung up on equality and birkenstocks and their own pleasure like us feminists, so they can focus entirely on being a sexy babe for their man and giving him lovin' whenever he asks for…

@Lady Saira, Vere de Vere: So if he thinks some people should get abortions, doesn't that make him pro-choice? No, he doesn't want women to have the power to have a choice, so I guess he's just pro-abortion. One more piece of evidence that "pro-lifers" don't give a shit about people.

You know, I feel for her because she's a human being who is obviously mentally ill and she's in a bad situation, but I can't get on any "poor Nadya" train in regards to her kids mistreating her. If her kids hit her, call her a bitch, tell her she's a bad parent, it's because that's what she's taught/allowed them to…

@Hana Maru: I completely agree. She started out on the defensive when they made a not-so-outlandish assumption based on her public persona, they gave her the opportunity to clear things up, and she was incredibly rude to them. Does she even know how book interviews work? They glance through the book and ask you…
