Can we give Bette Midler her own pundit show that’s just a half hour of GOP burns and show tunes?

Like, “Motherhood: because dreams don’t work out.”

I’m with you—I took it to be almost metaphorical. I have no doubt Rousey meant she’d like to be a mom, but it also seemed to be an exclamation of how there are other things that have been on her mind about the future, including being with this guy, loving him, and, yes, having kids. I don’t think it was really all…

Yeah, this was my thought. Like I’m glad that she found a reason to get up and live her life. And I’m not mad at her. It’s not her fault we live in the world we live in that valus the things it values. And she doesn’t have an obligation to tailor her thoughts and desires to further a message. But god, was it ever…

Yup. In some of my darker moments I’ve thought, “Well, my cat would probably miss me eventually and wouldn’t understand why I was gone, so I guess I’ve got to stick around.”

I also think the babies comment is one of those realizations you have when you realize that living your life is not all about you, you know? Like there are bigger things coming after the moment that you are in that are going to be so much more.

Maybe instead of Red and Blue states we could have Shower and No Shower states?

Or it could have been a choice she made for her kids.

Real talk: I hope that’s where I am at that age. After an extraordinarily lusty, slutty, and adventurous 20's and 30's, I am now 40, a married woman, a new mom, and so exhausted I could cry. Don’t get me wrong—the quality is there, but the quantity is not. I am constantly too stressed and tired. So I plan to raise…

I feel like she at some point signed an agreement that she has to speak positively about him in the press no matter what.

That is how I took it, too. She doesn’t want to get in a serious relationship with someone who has kids young enough to need mothering. Makes sense!

She could still adopt.

her body was found four days later just north of the state line in North Carolina.

Not to be a huge downer (which means I’m about to be a downer) but I’m glad they don’t mention what the rumor was.

I feel like this is the appropriate place to tell this story: I dressed up as RBG on Halloween, and SO MANY people asked me if I was Judge Judy. Her influence on the American psyche should not be underestimated.

I trust Jonathan with everything.

Maybe if they weren’t so damn delicious.

If only there were a blog for all those stories. If they had a blog like that and cancelled it... man, that’d be dumb.

If only there was a sub blog on Jezebel where you could share terrible restaurant stories... Oh wait there was one, but they decided women didn’t like that sort of thing. I’m not bitter at all.

Do you watch Grace and Frankie?
