Actually, it reads like a standard court order in an abuse and neglect case that the parties had no choice but to obey.

I’m with you. He’s a generically attractive white guy but he’s never come across as warm, charming or particularly intelligent. He doesn’t even seem curious, which I think is a key trait in a morning host. But he’s not committed enough to curmudgeonly to make it amusing. He’s just kind of there, the Peter Principle in…

I’m not advocating re-education camps for racists, I’m just saying, if they were to happen (OBAMA WILLING), I’m not sure you could find a better selection device than people who watched the first Hunger Games movie and were not sad when Rue died.

I need a Shade Court ruling from Judge Brown on this:

Pretty sure Allen called out his grade school, along with his 2nd grade teacher.

California has pretty strong anti-SLAPP laws, seems likely his whole damn suit will be dismissed by a judge sooner rather than later.

Slate had a good article on how important it’s been for black families to continue to send their children to the historically black public school, despite not being able to afford the neighborhood anymore, in case anyone is interested.

Yeah, there are plenty of metrics by which Mariah could easily beat Miley, but if the premise is Thunderdome -- smart money is on achey brakey offspring..

Have a soothing kitchen:

He first came to my attention about 5 years ago and I was really struck by how self-possessed he is. I think I was a pretty smart 19 year old, but it was book smarts and political knowledge, I don’t think I could’ve talked about myself with the intelligence and maturity Stephen displayed at that age. I remember the…

I spotted him on a Dobie Gillis rerun around the time Ishtar came out and was all daaaaamn:

Your comment made me wonder what Stephen Ira has been up to lately and I came across this, which seems relevant:

I love the tile work on the walls in the bathroom, but that kitchen just looks uncomfortable. Never mind the visual assault, the seats are too high in relation to the counter.

Resistance. Loop one ball beneath the opposite ball and they’d hold each other, rather than going for the scalp ripping grip on the hair itself.

I know quite a few Mizzou fans who didn’t go to school there but were born and raised in Missouri, cheering for MU their whole lives, and sure, many of them can be quite obnoxious. But KU (let’s be serious, basketball, no other sport) tends to pick up the fans who moved to KC as adults and have no real connection to…

Elastic band with metal bit in middle, balls on opposite sides. I fucking love those things. Nobody makes them anymore. Or they make them, but they’re small, designed for the pigtails of 5 year olds. They were the least likely to pull hair. I’m constantly having to trim tangled hair off of the plain bands.

As a KU alum, I’ll own the fact that among the old Big 8 schools we have by far the most obnoxious fans. (It’s hard to compare us to fans of schools in Texas, as they have their own style of obnoxiousness which no Midwesterner could hope to match.) As a long time resident of Kansas City, the One and Only True Host of…

I won’t watch, but I love that you put Trump in a Larry Johnson jersey. Serial abuser of women and the original Becky with the good hair.

They’re not lying, they’re in Dick Cheney mode. If you remember how the Bush administration spoke in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, all the pro-Jolie leaks are the same. They’re carefully designed to create one impression while at the same time if you revisit them later with a different context they…

By law, we’ll never know for sure who made the call to DCFS. Because unlike 911 calls, hotline calls are never made public. I think she’s far too smart to lie, but she’s also smart enough to present a misleading statement of facts. Divorce fucks up people’s heads. And most people avoid lying, but circumstances make it…
