Because of studying so very, very, very few babies (18) for such a short, insignificant amount of time. As the other doctor in the NYTimes piece says, “’But it will take further studies following C-section babies for many years to know to what degree, if any, the method protects them from immune and metabolic…

Of 18 babies and for only the first month of their life. Calling it a “study” is a bit of a stretch. And the results of that weren’t even that they children were healthier or were experiencing fewer problems, just that they were showing a bit more of two helpful bacteria than their non-swabbed counterparts.

That’s a really interesting perspective. I’m a white woman, so take my two cents knowing that, but I’ve traveled extensively and have noticed that each country seems to have its own special version of racism—much of Europe seems to have a problem with Arabs, Africans and south Asians, Dominicans hate the Haitians,…

I have a friend that used to work in the film industry and was the exec assistant to probably our most revered and treasured director (multiple Oscar-nominations and wins). A group including the director and my friend were waiting in a conference room for a meeting with Goldie Hawn and when she came in she crawled on…

Oh my gosh, Seem Like Old Times is so, so good. Not Overboard good, but good.

Wow, that’s embarrassing.

Really? You had trouble putting the same thoughts that Hillary supporters have been saying for months together?

I’m sorry...take note of what exactly? Did you go on to say? And downplay “that” aspect of the primary is referring to what aspect exactly? Your comment is alluding to something that you never actually state. Is the “This is how Hillary’s...” having a crew with matching outfits and sensible shoes?

It’s not. A woman in a jacket and pants isn’t in a suit either. She’s in a blazer and pants...it’s not called a suit. A pantsuit is a suit with pants as opposed to a skirt, which are common as well. Many suits have the option of both pants and a skirt.

People actually watched this mess? Is that picture above a still? Was it produced by a HS theater club?

I co-sign all of this. I agree with everything you’re writing and I’m going to add another reason to be weary of slavery-themed films (and WWII/Holocaust for the same reason)—from a filmmaking perspective, it’s kind of a cheap shot. Of course, it’s going to get good reviews. Which critic is going to be the one to say,…

He ruined it himself. Ruined, ruined, ruined. He’s done. And he has nobody to blame but himself. Buh-bye, Cosby! Take your quaaludes and go sit by yourself in your sweatpants and watch re-runs of Fat Albert.

Uh, white person here. And I take my americano with cream—real, fatty, white delicious cream—and sugar.

Oh, my gosh, it’s so not with its half-water-half-soy-lecithin-separating-until-you-stir-it. You just made me so sad for people who have to have almond milk on their cereal. The ones that do it by choice? Damn, thank god my life has not hit this bottom. Whole milk and even a dash of half-and-half for me on my cereal.

I’m confused...does anyone know them? Are we simply suppose to care because they had a stylist artfully muss their hair for 30 minutes before a broke down step n’ repeat?

Every time I get down about the state of my life I just remind myself I’m not a tool that pops wheelies on my motorbike on public streets. And then I feel all better.

Ha! I think the only one we should worry about being offended was Kathy Griffin. And I can assure you she was not. So, pull your panties out of your ass and find something that’s actually offensive to drum up some indignation.

Here’s a thought, Dlister...he’s on in order to draw attention to the environment in our own backyard for all the numbnuts who watch dumbass shows like Bear whatever but have trouble opening a newspaper.

But the OP does get to say that he’s not Middle Eastern and that’s the point. And it’s an important one. One can identify as a certain race—or their parents can try in your case—but that doesn’t make it true or real either. Just ask Rachel D.

So, I guess there were no available Middle Eastern actors left to play a part so they hired a Latino?
