Bain Capitalist?

They don't let you put ketchup on your hotdogs there? I don't know if I want to live in Chicago as much anymore.

The weirdest thing about this Girls controversy is that there is another lily-white main casted television show about 20-something women trying to make it in Brooklyn (Williamsburg, even!) which seems to paint non-whites in stereotypes but it never seems to even get a mention - and it's obviously been popular enough…

I don't think it's the conventional beauty, actually. I think the photographer just wasn't able to bring something out of her. She's not committing to the smile in the ones where she's supposed to be smiling - and I hate to go all Tyra on this, but it's true... you gotta SMIZE girl. SMIIIIZE.

I still find Grenade one of the creepiest songs of the last few years and so I can't really...

I just realized that if I did this to Romney, I'd be calling him Mittsy, which sounds too endearing and adorable for what he is.

I have to admit, one of the most awkward things I've come across is introducing American friends to German friends and having to hear the American friends make Nazi jokes all. night. long. It's happened so many times that I actually find myself trying to avoid ever introducing Americans touring Europe to any Germans I…

I was trying to figure out why the makeup made me cringe so much! Thank you!

Well, it's conservative talk radio, right? Otherwise the next question would have been "how did you feel then when the moderator proved your dad didn't have the right facts?"

I would assume that non-Indians who wear a sari are the same as Indians who decide to go for the white dress... and I don't particularly see a problem with either.

Unfortunately you can't seem to respond to more than one comment at a time with this new system, but I wanted to mention that I do think the decriminalization route is better than legalization. Related: I've always thought it strange that the persons with the power in the transaction are the ones who get off easier…

I tried to touch on this with the cocaine example but I now see that wasn't the best one (sorry, it was really late at night). The point I was trying to make was that there is a big difference in the set ups of the markets for different goods, which makes each good easier or harder to regulate if "legalized." If…

It's no Lady Chatterley's Lover, that's for sure

It's surprising to me how many people don't seem to know that the theory that the legalization of prostitution actually reduces trafficking is actually heavily debatable. In countries like the Netherlands, it's been found that having an open and active red light district actually encouraged more trafficking - and I…

Many people who are smart in certain ways are very dumb in other ways.

Honestly, this sounds more like a liberation for me. My friend is a sports journalist and said that sometimes it feels a little like freshman year clubbing rules - you see what the other girl's wearing and you have to beat it in skin showing so that all the boys will like you more.

I am extremely scandalized by the un-strapped tops! I've always wondered how anybody was able to pull off the bandeau top with smaller boobs and now I know it is ALL a LIE.

Wait, are we getting older younger or are we staying younger too long?

Invest your Chinese New Year/Christmas money in Amazon and Apple stocks. Yes, Amazon looks like it's near dead after the tech boom & bust, but they are going to own all your shopping in the future.

I was the one to give the talk/books/advice to my little sister (she's 10 years younger than I am) - which I think was actually a good thing. Besides all the "period and pregnancy stuff," I also was able to at least make her somewhat aware of the structures surrounding male-female interactions.
