@Dodai - was there any man-loving human alive who DIDN'T have a crush on Ponch? I went to meet him once (he was the celebrity guest at a car show in my town) and he was totally kissing all of us 15 year old girls full on the mouth after we got his autograph. Talk about things that seemed hot at the time that you…

Olivia Pope's giant wine glass can be the Scandal version of the strategically-placed laundry basket.

I think it's cute, wouldn't call it stellar, tho - and I wish they'd use Bailee Madison better - she's really a terrific actress and her role has been so one-dimensional. My favorite parts of the show are scenes with Natalie Morales and pretty much anything Marcia Gay Harden does - she's flawless. The worst part is…

To me (not a doctor, not his doctor) this sounds a lot more like mental illness than douch-ness. I dated a man who, two years after we broke up, committed suicide. When we were dating I remember thinking he was mean, arrogant, and horribly manipulative. He was a very bright, very articulate guy (which even with what…

I loved her in "Cloud Atlas" so I think she can make it work. Why do you think she couldn't?

You know my Aunt Carol?

You're right - although I've gotta say, even though Vern Yip was far and away my favorite designer on that show, Hildy's rooms are the ones that you remember - if she was looking for recognition she sure got it!

Yep. Silk flowers. STAPLED to the wall. In a bathroom. The saddest thing is, the original room was actually kind of nice.

Did Eva Longoria have Hildy Santo-Tomas decorate her bathroom?

Can we please add Gretchen and Elliott to the death wish list?

"A New York City gossip reporter revealed herself today to be the woman behind 300 Sandwiches, a food blog she started because she wanted a book deal."

I was completely gobsmacked by that as well.

Not meant to offend. I will say that I would have been just as offended then as you are now and I will also add that I was quite confident that I knew what I was doing - the difference is, I know now how wrong I was. That may or may not happen to you, I hope it doesn't.

Current mom of teenage girls and former "trollop" reporting for duty. The language is repulsive but the punishment (losing the tickets) fits the crime, in my opinion. Sometimes I think it's a goddamned miracle that none of the older dudes I thought it was so cool to sneak out of the house to hang out with when I was a…

I love men, actually.

There must be some Toros in the atmosphere.

And then we call each other out when we feel a response is questionable. I don't doubt a word you said and I defend your right to say it, I just find any incredulous response that's based on nothing more than one's idea of how one might react if she were in that situation to be worth questioning. Hey - I was that…

I think it's really easy to say how you'd react to a situation you've never experienced but judging a person who's actually living the situation based on your idealized version of your own behavior is unrealistic.

Sincere question - have you ever been divorced?

Annie, thanks so much for the clarification. I found the way Kate wrote the lede a bit off. You phrase it somewhat differently in your article (although I think you had a similar meaning) but I suppose I thought that with three-plus more years in his administration, comparing Obama's record to Clinton's eight years…
