In other words, a 13-year-old with a history of abusive behavior attacked a small child and received a normal sentence of detention, etc, but the mom opted to get her off by cutting her hair. Congratulations Doug. You've now crossed over to the dark side of "journalism" - or do you consider yourself to be in the…

I feel like most people miss the fact that the joy of watching sports is in the drama of the competition. That's why people like turtle races, and Little League, and cup stacking...and not just strong men vs other strong men.

I love Billie Jean King - she's always been a hugely inspiring person. I'm not sure if I agree with some of what she said; "[women] don't buy season tickets. Guys buy tickets and worry about who is going to the game later; they understand it's about writing checks and supporting the community."

Thank you for posting that. We shouldn't be encouraging people to make impulse purchases of bunnies or any other animals. What were they thinking, posting an adorable video along side link to Craigslist? These are living animals, not cute shoes or handbags.

There's so many shows that have a lack of diversity, I just have to wonder why Shonda Rhimes decided to set her sight on Bunheads - a show that doesn't have much of a history behind it. There are so many shows on the air that have a long track record of it and are more deserving of criticism. Sure, the comeback from…

In an age of ridiculous baby names, my first thought was the same. I see some people couldn't wait to play the shame game, though. There's no reason anyone should be expected to know her child was adopted from Africa, or that it's a nickname.

Seriously. I'm trying to think of what would be beneath Jezebel at this point, and I'm drawing a blank.

Ugh. that level of indifference should be a sign that he's not cut out for doctoring. I'm sure there are plenty of jerk women doctors out there, too. I guess I'd just rather have a woman be a jerk to me than a man. :)

I love men, I have several male friends, and have great relationships with my male relatives. But, I would never see a male gyno or have a mamo from guy technician - outside of an emergency situation. I guess I have a chip on my shoulder and power/authority issues. I am totally uncomfortable with the power dynamic…

I don't think that would be possible since the technician has to handle each breast several times - positioning it on the machine and taking multiple images from different angles.

Oh my god, you're a fucking a-hole. How is "women of all races in that era were brushed aside to some degree" the same as acting like "that shit was equal"? There's absolutely nothing in what I said that equated, or even implied equating, the experience of black women and white women. You clearly fail to be able to…

Yes, but at the same time, women of all races in that era were brushed aside to some degree, and even white women had very little power in business - especially management. Yet women characters dominate the show in some ways. They not only play a strong hand in their own and their families' fates, but they are…

I have a Bachelor's in Anthro/Art History, and an AA in Graphic Design. I was making about $42K as a designer in LA. When my employer went bankrupt the only work I could find was in customer service. Now I make about $35K. I am lucky to have benefits and 401K, but I hate what I do.

I don't really agree with the "take back the slur" mentality whether it's racial, gender, sexual orientation, etc. It may work on a personal level for some people - to take an insult and throw it back in their faces. But once you go down that road WAY too many people outside the group will take that as their cue to…

You're the only one here who's really nailing it with your comments for me: wrong for white people to use the word, but weird to think white people will organically just figure out how to deal with it in a song title without fucking it up half the time. I almost feel like "ninjas" is just as bad because it's really…

What a great gizmo! I remember one time I visited a friend who's place was totally infested with fleas - it was a bad rental situation, plus she was kind of neglectful in the way she dealt with it. Anyway, when I got home to my apartment I stood outside my door and stripped down to just my underwear before going in.…

I think what you said about why UCLA gave him the scholarship is pretty close to the truth. The kid didn't need the money, but I think offering it was just a form of invitation from the school. And the investment will net them a lot more than his alumni contributions. The attention it will bring to their program will…

It's between $4.29 and $4.49 where I am. It's been higher, but not a lot, and at those prices it's going to take a drop of at least $1 before it approaches reasonable.

That's creepy, too. What is it with the head-butting of loved ones in these commercials? The only thing about this one that was the wee-ist bit better is that she tried other things before resorting to violence. Still, it's just yogurt, lady.

I'm in - I'm so excited!
