Diehard Republicans still cling to Chappaquiddick like a drowning... uh, nevermind.

Yeah, I actually assumed he was sort of universally reviled. Unless maybe it’s still 2005 where Helenvanpattersonpatten lives.

I also remember hearing about how he was so over-confident around 2001-2002 that he uncerimoniously dumped an extremely devoted, long-suffering, and hard-working manager, and when his career tanked shortly thereafter, he spun it as a conscious decision to “quit Hollywood.”

Where is Josh Hartnett when you need him?

What are the odds that not only would she be premiering Off-Broadway in her mid-80’s(!), but you posted that story ON HER BIRTHDAY, and someone had just tweeted about it?!?! Wow. Just wow. Insane, and incredibly lovely. I hope somehow you are reunited one day soon, to swan around in jewels and caftans together.

I think Claire is still best known for My So-Called Life, Homeland and Temple Grandin. But unfortunately her first movie was Little Women which came out when she was 15 (there’s a short film at age 11 that theoretically could have been filmed when she was 8 or 9, but she wouldn’t have missed a ton of school for that).…

In the 70’s, Kim was like the attainable version of Jodie Foster (I say this as a straight woman). Not even being snarky - for a kid actor of that era, her performances were fairly nuanced (arguably even moreso than a lot of Foster’s earlier, non-Taxi Driver roles). She had/has talent... it’s kind of sad, really.

While I’m not a picky eater and happily eat whatever I’m served 99% of the time regardless - pizza sauce and tomato chunks aren’t even remotely the same thing, and it’s entirely possible to enjoy the former but hate the latter.

Oh god. I really hate your brother.

I require any dog of mine to eat tomatoes, so that I don’t have to. You don’t like tomatoes, doggy? Learn.

I’d rather be a gay person in the Phillipines than a woman in a relationship with Mayweather. Only one is allowed to leave without risking their life.

In a just world this would not just be a comment, but the headline.

Becasue a 10 year old boy has more class and respect for other human beings than these shitty excuses for adults.

FYI, allergan-sniffing assistance dogs can save lives, and training one is a fairly easy and low-cost process compared to sight, hearing, mobility or seizure detection dogs. It involves training one simple alert behavior in conjunction with classically conditioning an association (think Pavlov), and unlike…

PREACH. I was raised with that “mind over matter” attitude, helped along by doctors who believed that I was too young to have a real problem and/or that being female means you like to complain (I do not, to my own detriment). Damned if I wasn’t completely miserable throughout my teens and twenties before being…

Seriously, why the defensiveness??? I’m in my mid 40’s, and my father will try to hide a cherry tomato in my salad to get me to “accidentally” eat one, as if it’s a personal affront to my paternal ancestors that I would rather eat balls of ear wax stuffed with snot (which is what they taste like). Raw tomatoes are…

If by some slight chance I make an unlikely and very unexpected career choice late in life, “Penitence Muffins” will MOST DEFINITELY be my porn name.

I was crying at the halfway-mark, and ugly-crying by the end of that. All the comments on this week’s post should just be read aloud AS a church sermon.

The fact that “church discounts” are common makes me grind my teeth - things like that make it hard for those of us in the rest of the country not to be prejudice against the south. Churches already get a huge discount compared to the rest of us - it’s called “tax-exempt status.”

Well, if you, that pastor and the statue-dressers from your church end up with all us godless heathens in hell, it’s gonna be my kind of party.
