Ever since Matt Lauer kicked her off the Today Show I feel protective of Ann Curry. She seems classy and genuinely nice. And kinda geeky. Ever since I saw the sloth video with Kirsten Bell and Dax Shepherd I find them both soooooooo annoying. "Look at us! look at us!" We get it. You're adorable and quirky. And you're…

I agree that the punishment far outweighs any crime here. That I'll grant you. Since this involves a school sponsored group encouraging underage drinking, they can't do nothing. But a year's suspension does seem a bit much.

No it is not a part of growing up. I am getting close to 50 and have never hazed or been hazed. I do know people who have, especially in high school. Those were the people to whom joining such things as football teams and cool clubs was important. Those of us who consciously opted out of that crap were labelled as…

There's a reason we have different standards for adults and children. We don't say a twelve year old should be treated as an adult if she has sex with an adult — no matter how much she "wanted" it, because we have decided that young children don't have the capacity to consent, or to sign contracts, or to rationalize…

I'm a hardass about these things but they should be tried as juveniles. They are so young they think Slenderman is real and they can go live with him. They are disturbed, and I don't argue that. They are unable to separate reality from fantasy. They are dangerous. But they're not acting from a basis of pure…

Yuuuup. This isn't a feminist issue! This is about teaching your girls about how to dress for respect in a setting that, as a student, is essentially your workplace. School is your prep for the real world, people. Undergarments have no place in the workplace. To the commenter who has gotten no flack for bra straps…

Yes, many people had concerns about his mental state, and he was mentally ill. But this is always a pivot away from a real solution: gun control. We can't have a law that says that if "some people (i.e. coworkers) express concern about your mental state" then you can't have a gun. While I agree with the moral…

why the f—- can't the Democrats and Republicans in Congress do the same?

PBS showcased a documentary about dogs and how freaking smart they are. There was one dog that, if showed a picture of a particular object (any object), he would go and retrieve that object from the next room. That's huge. The dog understood that the photo was a representation of an actual thing, and not just a piece…

Alec did bad things in a past life.

So basically, everyone hates Hilaria Baldwin? I am cool with that.

I COME FROM THE FUTURE, there's better plus-size clothes there made of many fine space-age fabrics imported from Martian textile farms.

Dear #NotAllMen,

To each their own I guess, but I'm really over the sexist "she's just a porn star" bullshit. That isn't even true. And even if it were, there would be nothing wrong with that. We get it. [General] You don't like her. How fun that must be for you. Say what you want about the legitimacy of Kim's "career" but there's no…

Lately, I find it hard to get on the Kimye bashing train. It all seems .. unnecessary and over-the-top. Like, I get it, you're not a fan (disclaimer: I don't care about them either but jeez).

Why are that baby's limbs so long? THAT BABY WILL BE AMAZING AT SOME SPORT OR PHYSICAL ART FORM THAT REQUIRES LONG LIMBS. I can't wait for that baby to win all the gold medals at a future olympics for having incredibly long limbs.

A decision like this could of caused a lot less heartache in Ballykissangel.

Folks, there is a procedure for these things and it absolutely must be followed. I promise you this teacher will never teach again. The 10 day suspension is automatic while the proper channels are used to remove her entirely.

Let's maybe let the system do it's job and THEN, if it fails, get bent out of shape about…
