My mother had a boyfriend who knew how many days until my 17th birthday starting when I was 14, and referred to the age of consent as “ripening.”

You were a pedophile before the diet, you fucking idiot.

Saw a Trump bumper sticker.
Briefly thought about the insurance hit I would take if I plowed into the car.

Prosecutors are requesting 12 1/2 years, while Fogle’s defense has asked for five.

I swear, my daughter turned me on to this years ago, and we picked through every crook and cranny of the internet looking for more. Husband would poke his head in the door and would say, “Just checking to see if you are okay.”

Oh goodness I hated that show. My mom loves foodnetwork, and I love that she loves it because when I visit home I get treated with some great stuff (She likes Ina and Giada the best, and those two can actually cook), but Sandra Lee is just GRATING. It’s like this weird combo of watching your rich boss’s weird…

Yeah but eventually they’ll just put the kibosh on the spinoffs and focus more on politics.

I’ve gotten that question from anti-choice types as well. They’re generally nonplussed that my response is “Well, I would have been left motherless as a toddler, and my little brother wouldn’t exist if she hadn’t had access to safe and legal abortion, so I’m pretty cool with it. If she’d had the same complications…

“Look, making them illegal doesn’t mean people who want them won’t just get them illegally.” -guns or abortions?

Imagine if 25 of those people had nuclear bombs! Or Bazookas! Or magical powers!

Like most wealthy people, he paid his way out of it. Not to mention that the underage victim was Black, and our girls are rarely if ever seen as victims.

You need to read the Village Voice article linked in the piece. You have about 2% of the story.

I’ve got to agree with you on that. What’s the point of offering gluten-free toast if the bread is going to be toasted in a toaster contaminated with regular bread crumbs? It doesn’t really affect the trendy gluten-avoiders, but is actively dangerous to celiacs.

Kirsten Dunst thinks the man to pay the bill at dinner, and now I’d like to ask who she thinks should pay when two lesbians go out to eat.
