Momentarily laying aside (and only momentarily) the many allegations of sexual battery from a diverse group of women, many of whom recount the same rather unique date-rape-drug M.O. allegedly used by Cosby, this is a man who EVEN if he did nothing else took a fifteen year old girl to the Playboy Mansion. I'm amazed…

-"Well, I reckon Stillasouthernthing doesn't want to go to Cracker Barrel. She's sittin' in front of her laptop playin' some kind of little movie over and over with a kind of glazed look and she's breathin' like a hound on a hot day. Keeps sayin' something about, "I was made to be ruled" and somethin' called a…

I was puzzled by the sincere distress and distaste shown in these replies, and maybe that's the answer: there is a cultural disconnect here. I am from the deepest South, and to me this is natural and fitting. Southern Gothic is not just a category of literature. Down here we name babies after departed family members,…

Conversation in local diner, (Shout out to Maybelle's Kountry Kitchen)

I would give my pension to have someone stand up to Mr. I Can't Stay In My Seat Cause I Got To Show My Ass Kanye (also applicable to Mrs. North's photo shoots) and said , "Shut up, sit down, and wipe that pout off your face before I give you something to pout about."

And yet....there is a certain lovely dark justice at work here. Manson, in whom there is no truth, is a small-time, moronically inept criminal with delusions of grandeur. He is also a nearly preternatural con man. He was a hippie Jim Jones, who manipulated young women into performing his atrocities for him because…

You know I love this column, and I always feel humbled by having my food served to me - imagine, they BRING YOU COOKED FOOD and then they TAKE CARE OF YOU WHILE YOU EAT IT. It's like eating at Mom's, only pleasant.

My kid is in charge of a department that assists women who are in abusive relationships so they do not lose their children due to the fact they themselves have been abused. She assists them in finding safe shelter and goes to bat for them before the Court, I think it's an awesome program. It's interesting to note…

If that is not the quintessence of Southern logic, nothing is. I send you all the hugs I have left. I am not worried about my dog, because all dogs really DO go to Heaven, but I feel like it's time to have that come-to-Jesus talk with someone else.

Because I love this column, I'd like to give back some of the pleasure it has given me.

Good Lord, can't you see the poor man was so excessively tired from his excessive (and just what did he do to make it "excessive"?) Chinese trip and therefore showed his excessive asshattery?

Yes, because the beautiful do not commit crimes. The ugly, poor and obese, those are your criminals. Well-educated and attractive people don't commit murders. (Says Ted Bundy from Hell.)

At first glance I thought, "Finally, even the zombies have had enough of his mouth-breathing expressions and his faux-thug shit and she's going to rip his head off!" Then I realized it was an underwear ad. There is no lasting happiness in this world.

I was made to be ruled by Tom Hiddleston. It is my natural condition.

It is sometimes hard to scrape up sympathy for Florida but remember that we are ruled by a Republican assholebot that was deployed before they got his eyebrows and hair on.

It's awful when I drink because then I read the posts about Mama June and Kim Kardashian - who are actually the same woman in different bodies, if you think about it, and I don't- but who is the brain donor who thinks this bitch takes her own selfies? She is making a living doing this - why do any of us go to college?…

I live near a mushroom farm that smells incredibly bad downwind (they use sterilized cow manure as a medium) but grows lovely mushrooms that you can get freshly picked for a great price. I know that folks jeer at the Southern penchant for frying anything we can get in a skillet - but after you have tried Mr Burneko's…

When we stop turning deplorable, destructive lifestyles into entertainment, we may gain a tiny foothold up the steps of being civilized beings. We ban the old circus freakshows of people whose celebrity stems from an innocent physical defect as being exploitative, but we gather around like chickens around a dead bug…

Yeah, I'm not sure where I was trying to go there due to an overabundance of flu meds, My kid just asked me what reverse blackface is too. I believe what I was after was"offensive caricature". Poorly phrased but deeply felt.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is to the majority of educated Southern people like reverse blackface. It is offensive in the last degree. I am law enforcement; my kid is social services (domestic violence protection officer) and here is our truth: In our poverty stricken area, our very rural area (I swept a gator off the…
