Does anyone feel like Jenelle Evans is actually Jena Malone doing some kind of sad, sad performance piece?

Excellent call. I'd much rather women were in a position to just give themselves and their bodies time return to a shape that they feel good about, but short of that utopian ideal, I appreciate her honesty. It's sad that I imagine she'll get a lot of criticism for this, when I promise you it's what so many other…

Yeah...isn't it a common feature of OCD that it's most activated and its victims are more compulsive when faced with things that deeply upset them? I probably knew I'd have a strong reaction to the story so I just focused on the grammar. :)

There's a little homophone/homograph issue going on here. The past tense of "lead" (pronounced with the hard "eeeee" sound) is "led," (pronounced "lehd") while there's also the homograph "lead" (pronounced the same as "led") like the stuff that's bad to have in paint. The graphic accompanying the story needs to be…

Sorry, but the odds that those human snoozefests, Will & Kate, are not going to name their daughter (if it's true that it's a daughter) Elizabeth are slim to none. They are so choreographed in a way that strives to seem off-the-cuff, so if they don't name that kid Elizabeth, I will eat my hat.

Because lots and lots of people read that terrible fan fic. And if there's one thing I know for certain, it's that even more people see the movie than read the book, no matter how easy the read (Hunger Games, anyone?).

Are any of Justin Bieber's tattoos not awful? There is at least one redeeming tattoo on every other celeb I can think of. Every. single. one. of his looks cheap, badly done, and badly placed. Clearly the owl doesn't symbolize wisdom...

And it was some of the least convincing "proof" I've ever encountered. "We think we feel an implant but...oh, you said you don't have one? Then, it's like a...um, a circular bone? Yeah, must be a circular bone."

And then a letter will magically appear that Lavinia knew that Matthew loved Mary and told her father and everyone was at peace about it! And the letter can be verified beyond a doubt! Oh, and that ties up another little bow—we were broke! Turns out, no we're not! Because of Lavinia's money that was inexplicably…

The phrase has always bothered me, but I assumed it was like how the words "racy" or "niggardly" bother me. Sounds bad, etymologically perfectly fine. The good news is, I will likely never have a house big enough to have more than one bedroom and certainly not one with a bathroom attached and thus, will never have…

I guess it was too much to hope that it was a simple American whack-job right-wing domestic terrorist of the Timothy McVeigh variety (those guys LOVE to do terrible shit in April, and on tax day, no less).

So I halfway suspect that Mary and Branson will get together. They were getting close and now their spouses are both dead, and as much as I would normally say that it's too silly to wrap things up in a nice little bow like that, Julian Fellows loves to wrap things up in a nice little bow. The more implausible the…

Robin Roberts, who recently returned to TODAY after her battle with bone marrow disease...

I see your point, and I also don't think the issue should be ignored by the courts. It's important that the Cherokee Nation's standing here is recognized and its right to have Cherokee children raised by Cherokee people not be interfered with—unless the Cherokee parent abdicates that right. I'm 100% in agreement…

Essentially. And the poor kid! No one can shoulder that burden. I don't even like dipping my toe into the pool of Native/Anglo-American issues because it's so. damn. ugly. And so recent/current! Native Americans were legally prevented from practicing their own religion until 1978. I get it. The risk of Native…

I'm dying here. This guy thought that would cause Wellesley to rescind her admission? It's practically a letter of recommendation. I imagine he's also threatened, "If you don't pipe down, I'm going to call the ACLU and tell them you've been advocating for free speech!" Genius principle. Exactly what I'd expect…

It's possible—even likely—that many of the pundits weighing in on this case are speaking from a perspective of cultural superiority and condescension towards Native American people.

The report states that she had a tire mark on her left calf "conducive to a vehicle hitting her."

Am I correct in assuming Hansen won't object to my calling him a dick, then?
