The problem with that is that the extremist Christians have somehow convinced the media that they ARE the moderates.

A friend of mine was once cheating on her significant other. She took me to coffee because she wanted me to meet the guy she was cheating with. I smiled as best I could and offered him my hand. He took it, and said, “Can I hug you? I’m a hugger!” and pulled me in. I managed not to gag a the wave of revulsion swept…

The only thing I find odd is that Weiner seems so attached to this one particular and stupid form of exposure. I don’t get why he doesn’t just join Ashley Madison or some other erotic forum. What is it about Twitter for him? Especially since he gets caught all the time.

I work in accounting for high-net-worth individuals, and we once returned to work Monday morning to a voicemail from a client that said, plaintively, “I’m looking at my statement, and it looks like I bought a plane? Why would I buy a plane? I don’t think I bought a plane... Please call me back.”

(Spoiler: Said client…

I love, but am also baffled by, people who say horrible things and then dare you to record them. Like, they’re absolutely convinced that the public at large will listen to their unhinged rants and vindicate them. Possibly with a fist bump and a “F*** yeah!”
Although, it seems to work for Trump, so what do I know.

I definitely think it’s a combination of both. In the 90s I was definitely less informed on a lot of privilege and other issues, so I didn’t notice when he said stuff I would consider over the line now. But also I think he got really dependent on fame and started saying more provocative/less responsible things just…

I liked Dr. Drew so much in the 90s, based mostly on listening to Loveline late at night driving to and from college. I have been more and more appalled at him ever since. Beyond promoting conspiracy theories, he’s been peddling the worst kind of junk pop medicine for years. He’s dangerous in much the same way as Dr.…

I’ve heard this movie is good, and I actually know people who worked on it, but it just... makes me uncomfortable, somehow. I don’t know, it just feels like we should wait to make this kind of movie until after people are dead. I mean, this is basically a romantic dramedy about a sitting president. It just seems…

I know! My mom said this morning that “alt-right”as a name sounded terrifying to her, and all I could think was really? It sounds like an indie record label to me.

Ugh. As someone who watches Wrestlemania because my husband loves it, I would MUCH rather see The Rock vs Vin Diesel than anything involving Shaq ever. Plus a Big Show-Shaq match would just be so sloooow.

I... want to be mad? Stupid publicity stunts are stupid. But I find them both kind of adorable, so meh.

This was really useful. I just tried it and I do feel looser. However I was slightly distracted by the pictures, just because this is ostensibly a desk workout... who goes barefoot and apparently pantsless at work? :P

Yeah, I would have loved to spend $65K on a Harry Potter wedding... but this one looked just, okay. I was hoping for spectacular.

I think the play on words is that it’s a sale? As in “take 50% off everything for Black Friday”. So the double entendre would be that you’re supposed to ask about their sales. But obviously the inappropriate meaning is way more obvious in this case. Ugh.

I’m not a big fan of Thanksgiving, but I would immediately RSVP yes to any party that used this photo for its invitation.

No. I use them a few times a year and it’s fantastic. I feel sort of bad using them, b/c their business model seems unsustainable, but from the consumer end it’s great. I pay about $150 to rent 3 different dresses (worth $600-800) during a year or so, and it’s so much better than wearing the same $150 dress to all…

This whole question is just so. weird. to me. My husband is an adult person who makes his own decisions, as he was long before I ever met him. How would I ever justify controlling who he hangs out with, and why would he want to be with me if I did? If he truly wants to cheat on me, he’ll find a way, even if I monitor…

This sounds great, but... how does the school day start at 8am and end at 2:50pm will a full hour for lunch? My parents both worked for school districts - I’m pretty sure this is well below the required number of daily “instructional minutes”, at least in most states.

I like Biden so, so much. And yet, because of his record, I could never have voted for him. I’m glad to see him leave the stage as Obama’s right-hand man instead of Clinton’s bitter enemy.

Okay, eating the sugar was beyond the pale, but I don’t understand what’s terrible about putting St. Germain in champagne/cava? That’s a cocktail I’ve seen on menus, and I sometimes bring some St. Germain with me to NYE parties for specifically that. Am I horribly gauche?
