@sybann: I'd rather be a poor woman in an undeveloped country than Pat Fucking Robertson.

Good for her. Sure, she scammed and stole and lied. But gosh darn it, I like Esther Reed. She lived the dream. And hey, four years at a country club like Alderson doesn't seem so bad.

@voteforme: I remember the Azia Kim story, and as I recall from the student interviews there was definitely a whiff of "how DARE she pretend to be one of US!" to their indignation.

Seriously, why does anyone pay attention to this stupid, evil fucker anymore? The guy fucking gets off to catastrophes, and has been "predicting" (read: hoping for) them since the 80s. He practically creamed himself over 9/11. Every word that comes out of his mouth is completely fucking wrong. The jizzmopper even…

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Hitchens has actually written some excellent articles, and it's always useful to have a contrarian viewpoint, but yeah, he's jumped on this bandwagon a bit late. I eagerly await his thoughts on rainbow parties and MySpace.

@tomqvaxy: I'm glad you think that. Other people might disagree.

@cirocco: Well, he IS Zeus.

@pajanguin: The Miss Pettigrew character is just a sluttier version of her Enchanted character, who is just a Disney Princess version of her Junebug character.

@JoaquinPhoenix's Hairstylist: Oh, good. I thought I was the only one who found the Amy Adams Character (sunny, wide-eyed ditz) incredibly annoying. I was kind of hoping Frances MacDormand would punch her in the face at the end of Miss Pettigrew.

@Thus Spake KATE!: Set in Dubai? I didn't think SATC could become less appealing to me, but there you go.

Why people are continually shocked that Dubai - a corrupt, profligate, polluted, theocratic city-state built on the backs of de facto slaves - is fucked up, is beyond me.

@Ginmar Rienne: VICTIM BLAMING VICTIM BLAMING EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD IS VICTIM BLAMING!!!

@Maharani: You can swear on the internet. It's okay.

@Psudonym: Yeah, I used her because the more biotic the better, but good lord the woman was a drag. She's a bit like Leliana from Dragon Age, minus the hint of edginess that made Leliana sort of interesting.

You guys realize you can't force someone to like a game (or anything else), right?

@Vecha: 2 Years till the end: Eh, I don't buy it. But either way, it doesn't make the title any less generic. I'm with kelbear - let's put a little more effort into our titles, shall we?

@bess marvin, girl detective: What? That's not what you wrote at all.

@sybann: I'm sure if it were possible to open the fuselage doors in flight, the airline would have gladly jettisoned the guy over the Atlantic, thus lightening the load and saving a few cents worth of fuel.

@squid pro quo: I agree that the woman's attitude is bratty, but seriously, that's a long-ass time to be sitting next to a fresh corpse. Obviously there are no good options for the airline in such a terrible situation, but I'm surprised they're not offering some kind of compensation to the passengers.

FYI, it's basically impossible to fire a public school teacher in New York City. These women will spend the next few weeks/months surfing Facebook in some office, earning their full salaries while a half-assed "investigation" is performed. Eventually they'll be reinstated at another school, maybe with a disciplinary…
