Really all I need to know about Amanda Bynes to make an assessment of her mental health is that she has more money than God (or at least, me) and has chosen to live at 47th and 8th. What's the matter, Amanda? You couldn't find an apartment actually inside Port Authority? That has got to be hands-down the most…

I misread this as the fantasy sex book about Michelle Obama and I was all "what do you mean, didn't ask for?"

See, and my first reaction is, She has cheerios-age kids but still wears lip gloss? I applaud you.

Well, I'm relieved to know it happens to put-together people who dress properly and wear make-up. It, like my inability to stop biting my nails, has always made me feel like I suck at Being A Woman.

He contradicts himself within his own statement! A soft "g" is the sound in gift. A hard g is the one that sounds like a j, as in Jif. I think he's actually trying to confuse us.

Because it's not fun? Because my idea of fun is an elastic waist band and rubber flip-flops? Because 15 minutes spent on my outfit is 15 minutes I could've spent sleeping? Because when I bother to put on make-up, I forget I bothered and rub my eye before I'm even off the subway?

You're cynical. Even if his motive was to assuage some rich person guilt, it's still incredibly generous.

I can't shake the feeling that Selena Gomez is trying really, really hard. Maybe it's because her face is so little and youthful, but I always want to say to her, "Oh, that's nice, sweetie. Oh, yes! That movie was very scandalous and your dress is very grown-up. Now, let's put on your jammies so you and Taylor can…

Le sad. I've come to the conclusion that Madonna has given up on being good at anything except exercise (music, acting, being a human) so I can't imagine why she wore something that does nothing for her quite lovely upper thighs.

No, it's because the prodigal son returns, people think "prodigal" must refer to his returning. But it means someone who spends money extravagantly...it's the root of the reason for the separation of father & son in the biblical story.

For the love of Christ. Look up what prodigal means. It has nothing to do with returning.

Wait—then why is the NYC Dept of Health putting up signs in the subway warning parents not to do this? http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/…

I'm actually well-read on BLA. It was part of my issue with this article that it doesn't even skim the surface of what happened, who Assata Shakur is, or what happened leading up to and after the incident. I've read her autobiography/memoir (Assata—in which I found her arrogant and unsympathetic, for the record) as…

This "article" reads like a 10th grade response paper. That said, yes, it does say the same at the end. But in an earlier paragraph, it refers to her—without quotation marks or any qualifying statement—as a domestic terrorist.

I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume Jezebel is quoting here without using quotation marks, but domestic terrorist? Whether you believe Shakur's or the cops' version of what happened, shooting a cop does not a terrorist make.

Yeah, it could be so much worse. What I find most upsetting about the maternity leave set-up, honestly, is that I find it divides women in the workplace. I've had so many female co-workers say, "Well, you knew what you were getting into when you got pregnant." It feels a lot like how unions have been treated…

My favorite argument about this—and one that I hear constantly with news stories like this—is "15 is too young to be having sex." It's the equivalent of: "We should outlaw airbags—you really only need them if you get in an accident, which you won't do if you drive carefully." Good plan.

This. Mr. Slowtraincoming and I are expecting our first baby in July and he gets 10 weeks paid leave (the most generous I've heard of for paternity leave) while I get 6 weeks disability (!). In addition to that, I can take vacation time and unpaid time (because soooo many people have the ability to take unpaid time…

Thanks for an article about how I should accept my functional, right-just-as-they-are arms coupled with a photo of a person whose arms are virtually flawless. You're totally not sending conflicting messages.

I didn't even end up reading the article. Knowing as I do my own conflicted feelings about religion, I decided it would produce a strong reaction in me that wasn't based on logic or facts. Also, you kind of lose me once you screw up grammar like that. It's not to say that people with bad grammar can't have succinct…
