My reply to all who tell me chemicals are bad and "natural" is good: Arsenic is natural.

Would they say it about a guy?

What vet misdiagnosed death? They need to find a better vet.

I ask this with all sincerity: Is there something wrong with me because I order steak fajitas?

Also, don't forget that the bulk of CEO pay is not in salary. It's in stock options and bonuses for improving short-term stock prices. If the law was passed, they would just increase these items which are not considered regular pay under the law. That's why they are taxed differently.

I found this out when they gave Ryan Seacrest a star for his "contributions to radio." At the time, he hadn't been a DJ for very long, but was already famous for hosting American Idol. IIRC.

Anyone who is even remotely a "celebrity" with a publicist can get a star on the Walk of Fame. Everyone in LA knows that the board that "votes" to grant stars has no credibility. Also, each celebrity has to pay for their own star.

More, please! After every awards show, we get 40 or 50 pictures of mostly dull dresses. Please do an article like that for this! I could look at these clothes all day. It's like Cher and Madonna from the 80's mixed with Manga and high fashion... Must see more!! Please, please, please!!

What field are you in, that you find this a useful question? I'm really curious.

I scanned the articles and read the comments below but this wasn't addressed. Were they using paid signature gatherers? I've never done it, but I've heard that some pay per signature, rather than number of hours hanging out in front of the grocery store. Or did they just hand out signature pages at church and ask…

The entire power of the story relies upon how she entirely pulls the rug out from under you when you find that one of the characters is an unreliable narrator. She wouldn't be able to fool her readership a second time with the same set of characters so the sequel would be all about Hateful Amy. Not interested. …

Many school districts have deals with unions that mandate paid administrative leave until an investigation has been completed. The school district probably didn't both to further investigate since it had become a criminal matter. There are much worse cases than this of individuals on paid leave while awaiting trial.

Us olds remember that the Johnny Carson show used to be like this. Modern "talk" shows have pre-interviews where they go over every question before filming begins. They don't have conversations, they have 10 minute bits between commercials to promote their movies/show/book etc. In days of yore, the guests would…

One of my friends you used to say that if you aren't being turned down ten times a day, you aren't asking enough. He's been happily married now for ten years.

You should always apply. I had a friend who was "fired for cause." When they denied her unemployment, she requested a hearing. They actually sent the office manager to the hearing, where, it turns out, she wasn't ready to perjure herself for her company and supported everything that my friend said. She ended up…

Alternatively, El Al could require Hareedi to by an extra ticket guaranteeing that the seat next to them is empty.

I know how they got so many icicles on the tree. They used to be made of lead. My mother complained every Christmas about how the new-fangled lead-free icicles are too hard to hang, and, since they are nearly weightless, don't drape or hang correctly. Of course, they are strung one at a time...

First, I misread the headline and thought the study showed that [excessive] porn watching could be a factor in the failure of some marriages. That would make sense to me.

I went to the movies on Saturday to see Mockingjay. There was a poster for Selma in the lobby and a preview before the movie. My friends and I (all white in case it matters) were all excited about the idea of seeing a picture about the civil rights movement that actually focuses on MLK. I mean, what was the picture…

They need grill space so they can't do breakfast? Are you telling me that they still fry their burgers? I thought they switched to microwaving frozen pre-cooked burgers years ago. I thought that the fries were the only freshly prepared food they offered and they would do away with that as soon as they could…
