But the pubic hair and nipples weren't what made those photos so fucking creepy. It was the clearly gross male gaze that they were shot with (Looking at you, Uncle Terry!).

Basically that whole anti-foie gras article was someone (I'm not about to look up/tag the author) screaming "I don't understand how goose anatomy differs from my own, but I'm perfectly happy to ascribe my own thoughts and feelings to a bird!"

I have literally no sympathy whatsoever for Canada Geese. If someone wants to, to pick a completely random example off the top of my head, hit one with a javelin, I'm totally OK with that.

Christ, I get haircuts like once a year and even I fucking know you're supposed to tip them.

Seriously, WTF is up with the shavable baby? Why does it have hairy calves and shins?

Pretty sure the only lesson here is a journalism lesson: get the facts straight, report all sides, interview the relevant people.

Or maybe just don't take part in a national magazine article that slanders a whole group of people without being sure that they were responsible.

Yesterday, it was a "right-wing smear campaign." Today, it's, "Okay, that's kind of weird! But I did it, too, and I'm fine, see? We still love you, Lena!" Tomorrow, maybe it will be, "Woah, that's fucked up. But let's keep bankrolling Lena, anyway - at least she's not gross like Woody!"

You can bet if it were a man talking like this, claiming that he was a sexual predator, he would be skewered beyond belief here. But it's not just a woman, it's an icon here, so she gets a pass.

I live in the area. So, not as overblown.

Native blood from 3 different tribes here. And I think it's a beautiful costume.

I doubt you're all that worried about them, considering you just gave another outlet for people to ridicule them. But hey, whatevs...what about the children?!?!!?

The problem is the system is set up so that it's super simple for a woman to change her name, and not so much for the guys. All I needed was a copy of my marriage license to get everything changed. A guy I know who wanted to change his had to file a petition with the court and wait 30 days for a hearing. He then…

EVERY woman has internalized a patriarchal worldview. As has every man.

A woman who can do anything she wants makes a choice that works for her and affects no one who isn't simple-minded and that's our problem, how?

Although, in all honesty, if I ran into some random naked guy in the woods, I'd probably be a bit cautious. but then, I also tend to be cautious when I run into anyone in the wilderness. I'm generally ready for coyotes, deer, bear, even skunk, but people are a special kind of unpredictable...

Me too. I have no idea how the hell Vicki Lawrence is keeping it together.

What, do I have to do everything? Tim Conway and the Elephant, the greatest outtake of all time:

I love that she asked to keep the wardrobe. Oh and everything about her. I want another Carol Burnett special, damn it!

Incidentally, all of my swinger friends are atheists. It's their swinger friends (and seemingly the larger group) that is pretty conservative.
