As a public figure, in order to win a defamation case Cruz would have to prove: 1 the statements are false; 2 Mazin knew that they were false; 3 Mazin published them anyway with the intent to defame. Cruz. And Cruz would also have to overcome the exception for parody which would be difficult in general and especially…

Will buy.

I do know the difference between its and it’s. Autocorrect is my nemesis.

According to him, this had it’s benefits. He got invited to all the cool parties by upperclassmen because they felt bad for him (and I expect because he was entertaining as hell on the subject). Also the girls in the dorm would come to him to come to him to complain about Cruz creepily lurking outside their rooms in a…

Cruz could not sue.

Oh, and you are not entitled to that user name. Hermione would never spout such silliness.

The likelihood of death as a side effect of a vaccination is vanishingly small. It is a much more common side effect of the measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, diphtheria, polio, small pox, all diseases that we rarely (or blessedly in the cases of polio and small pox, never) see. In the long history of human…

Right now I just fast forward through any scene she is in - so far it has not had any deleterious effect on the continuity.

So , I’ve just started watching on Netflx and I’m just finishing Season 1. There is something I need to know to make the educated decision to continue: is Scarlett going to continue to be the annoying weepy (but spunky!) goody two shoes with the voice of a five year old? I’m not sure I have ever disliked a character…

I see this slightly differently: the prosecutor would not have gone back for a new trial on one hung count unless Ashanti wanted to. She is a strong woman who is willing to confront this asshole to make sure that he stays in prison a good long time. I admire her.

Do you ever get the feeling that the Kardashians are trolling us? That right now Kourtney is sitting back, taking a break from translating Proust into Khmer, and laughing hysterically at all of the idiots carefully nibbling the chocolate off of their Reese’s Cups?

Completely ignoring the tone for a second, that is the best possible advice. Just as DeRay McKesson is doing in Baltimore, rather than get into spats with people in power. Run for office. Get some of that power yourself and then, with the experience that comes with that, make the changes that you want to see made.

There is no chance that this is not unconstitutional. Ignoring the stupid efforts of these wankers to slut shame the mothers, this legislation penalizes the babies. And there is absolutely no way that does not violate the babies’ 14th Amendment rights.

Her commitment to servicemen was genuine. She was the president of the Hollywood Canteen and worked there nearly every night.

Sorry, 5th picture down.

I found a picture of her wearing it here: http://www.artcapsul.com/gallery.html. Third picture down. I couldn't successfully upload the picture. She looks like she's desperately channeling early Sex in the City.

I willing to bet sweatshirt clad “total granola girl” can buy and sell her before breakfast. Sweatshirt + first class + Istanbul to JFK = serious old money.

The 5th Circuit is the worst, the absolute worst. It’s like the Supreme Court exists solely to overturn the Spanish Inquisition worthy rulings of the 5th Circuit. These people would overturn Brown v Board of Education if given half the chance.

Is that their home? It looks like a cheap Hollywood set of a cheap 19th century bordello. Bless his heart, I know he has no taste himself but does he not have enough money to pay someone to tell him that those chairs are tacky?

I do not think most of the people here think the most practical way to stop a mass shooting is to “ask nicely.” I think most of the people here think it would be vastly better if we figured out some good ways to PREVENT mass shootings rather than just arm the prospective victims and hope for an OK Corral style…
