This is the finest thing I've read about this tragedy. It also broke/breaks my heart.

Thanks, yeah, it was thyroid cancer. They call it the best cancer to have. Very slow growing. That's why my doctor said sure, go to New Orleans.

I saw a tweet from a NYT reporter somewhere confirming that the crowd, which included reporters and photographers, was being fired on with tear gas and forced to get back. Yeah, shades of New Orleans, when FEMA wouldn't let people in. Do you know I was with 150 Florida airboaters who had fully-stocked pontoons and…

Well said. Me too. :(

I couldn't even find the story on the NYT site for days until finally there was one this morning, focused on the rioting.

It just never ends, does it? Keep up the great fight, Jezebel.

Julie Klausner speaks the truth. Why do all the great jobs have to go to white males? And it ain't just late night TV hosting gigs, either. This is a truth universally known, especially to us ladies.

He is a well-known Sleazemeister of Orlando. It's sad that he didn't stay down. Shows you just what sort of scummy behavior it takes to be rich in this country.

ASHLEY IS GOING TO BE ON REAL HOUSEWIVES????!!!!

She follows her stars, has the guts to keep the hair short in a big hair world, and was just beyond fabulous in Veronica Mars. This is a decision deserving major kadooze.

You know what a rapist who makes a long blah-blah-blah defense of his rape is? A rapist.

There is a crack in your foundation and it is this: Jessica Simpson. Remember how she made a big deal of taking purity vows and not having sex till marriage and yada yada. And so they got married and...oops. We weren't compatible. Perhaps if they had just been able to express their sexual desires without shackling…

I wanted to tell you that DBT is simple to grasp, but then remembered that I spent six months going to sessions twice a week to learn and practice it, so I'm kind of full of it. But still, it wasn't hard to grasp so I'd encourage you to try it and it won't take you 6 years to figure it out. At its core it's just about…

She was the first woman reporter on 60 Minutes. That was prying open a locked door to a testosterone sausagefest. Whatever else she has done the woman is a fucking hero for that alone.

You're a bag of asshole, since nobody has bothered to tell you. Interesting that you'd be interested in "authority" here. Also a fan of "power" and "control"? Most folks who love to call women cunts are..

That makes sense. It's the same culture that would protect this guy's privacy at all counts even if he's beating up his girlfriend, so what's a dog? Yes, this thread is full of lots of examples of how this country and humanity are so utterly flawed.

Yes, all these "patriotic" Americans so eager to call the gf a cunt aren't even asking whether this guy was a responsible pet owner. I'm also not reading any concern here for how the dog might feel.

Merci, Kat! I've never had a COTD so I'm so excited I'm going to make a fool of myself up here but I don't care don't you start playing that music I'm not done I'd like to thank Naturally Moi for all their "assistance"......

Tell us, kinja – do you think that Naturally Moi was deliberately cruel and bigoted, or do you feel it was influenced by the utter cluelessness in its "staff's" ability to write "articles"? If it'd had normal staff members, would this paragraph collection (blog?) feel the need to make this transgression, or is there…
