I thought they were an art collective that occasionally plays music

They're a rock band who now mainly protests. What their protesting is the policies of the central Russian government, namely: (1) Repression of dissenting speach/ state control of news media (2) tremendous levels of corruption that make life really really crummy (nicest possible word I could use there) for every…

This is one more item on a growing list or reasons why these activists have earned everyone's respect. If this keeps up, they may well be approaching a non-sarcastic Rosa Parks comparison, which until recently was a honor reversed for Ciudad Juarez journalists, and that anonymous Chinese teenager who stood in front of…

So, remember when everyone was like, "Oh stop making a fuss about the Olympics, let's just celebrate the athletes for all their hard work! It's not fair to the athletes! Also, figure skating is so beautiful!"

I fear for the inevitable post-Olympic crackdown on dissidents, when we've all turned the other way.

These modern 'Cossacks' are using the name to cause havoc and act like vigilantes. Lots of them with a horrid far right racial agenda. It reminds me of the worst kind of "internal community policing" by "groups" you used to get in Northern Ireland. Still do to a certain extent.

So I guess it would be kinda tasteless to make a joke about being pussy-whipped, right?

Spokesman Mark Adams said Olympic venues were not the place for political demonstrations.

I'm sure she'll take your opinion under careful consideration. It clearly means a lot to her.

Slightly off topic, but since you brought it up: I co-sign any and all bashing of any and all invisible sky-gods at all times. And the meaner someone is about it, the more I support it. When the members of Westboro Baptist Church die, I want to picket their funerals and say awful, terrible, reprehensible things…

I've known a lot of Eastern European people, and generally speaking, the women like men who are more mild mannered than the men in their countries. Eastern European men are more abrupt and expect traditional roles to be performed without having to thank or be affectionate to the woman.

Yes. Claire's only shred of humanity seems to stem from the stories surrounding her rape. There's that great moment you mention, which feels very real, and there's also (spoiler alert) the moment towards the end of the season after she visits the other young victim of the general, who has literally had a mental…

I get why people don't like her as a person, she isn't a good one. But this scene was revolutionary for television and also feminist. I wish Jezebel would do an article on the scene (SPOILER ALERT) where she is talking to Frank about her rape and says that she strangles her younger self everyday to keep from that girl…

I would go husband hunting, but hunting licenses have been really hard to get ever since the local husband population was decimated by chick flicks and demancaveification.

I'm not a cow, and my vagina is not milk, and my boyfriend is not a customer.

A shape with lion body and the head of a man...that weighs less than 114lbs.

"Fucking teenage boys is optional."

No panties are to be worn under practice clothes or uniform, not even thong panties.

Chaz Bono will be happy to discuss how to become a Been-Gal.
