From Wikipedia: Inherit the Wind is a fictionalized account of the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial, which resulted in John T. Scopes's conviction for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to a high school science class, contrary to a Tennessee state law that prohibited the teaching of evolution.

Richard Dawson memorialized as the former host of Family Feud? For shame. He was on TV all the time in the 60s and 70s, mostly in comedy shows, and was a regular on as Captain Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes, and on Laugh-In.

Garfield and the robber:

I read the Bill Clinton post as Clinton wanting to be in a movie, playing George Clooney with a bulbous thing on his nose, and I was like, "Finally, something totally unexpected!"

This is a good summary. Yes.

Some cute points, albeit not sure about the on-the-fence-wanna-have-don't-wanna-have-attention-wanna-have-it-when-I-want-it-change-my-tire-ugly-dude-love-me-pretty-dude vibe.

Or: The sugar industry lobbied better and harder.

Replying like this because your answer was too short EG - not sure what you mean about slut-shaming. I think most people assume Mr. Levine is boinking his brains out and don't really care, I just don't understand making silly excuses for it, or defining himself as somehow better than other men who sleep around

"Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much."

My grandmother's attitude bugged me, too, but she only had her own experience in terms of success, and that colored how she viewed other womens' (justified) complaints. Any comments I had about the patriarchy just made me sound whiny and weak to her.

If she was a stockbroker in the 60s that might explain why she didn't believe in the notion of glass ceiling (or, failing that term, the notion that women were disadvantaged in business). If she had success where a lot of other people (and when I say people here, I mean women in this particular case) haven't, it might

Why wouldn't Whole Foods accept food stamps - is that a company policy? Because if it is, it's not a very good one.

Bummer, man - sorry to hear that.

It's funny, I can't imagine the scenario where a standard bachelor party would go to a lesbian bar and it would end well. I also can't imagine that it ever happens on purpose.

Does the arrest go on her permanent record? Will that affect any college applications? Because that would be adding a long-term punishment to an already unjust initial punishment. Poor kid.

All I can think is that it must be absolutely exhausting to be any one of the Lohan clan. All that drama, night & day. Unrelenting.

Yeah, him and Heath Ledger both. Sheesh.

I was sitting with my then-baby of about 8 months many years ago on the shores of Lake Geneva when a busload of Japanese tourists approached. They seemed friendly enough, shooting pictures of me and my kid (maybe they thought I was Swiss?), and being turned into an unasked photo op was all a little weird but harmless
