The way people like you genuflect before wealth, fame and power such as WA's is pathetic. I'm curious, were you also one of those who defended Jerry Sandusky when news of his crimes first became known? Or are you only a defender of artsy pedophiles, not those in the sports world?

I doubt you can help anyone given the blinders you choose to wear. Your notion of "objective" seems strangely aligned with the version of events put forth by those on Woody Allen's payroll (his publicist, lawyer, etc).

From your sarcastic tone, your definition of "sober objective" apparently = disregarding the account of events given by the victim. Congratulations, your certificate in rape apologia must make you very proud.

Here's a better resource:

I know some people still feel some kind of remnant of a disco era hipness vibe about "joining the mile high club." But unless you're on a private plane, your choices are either an airplane bathroom (hardly an enticing location) or to impinge selfishly on other passengers' right to not see or hear some gross stranger…

Great idea. There should be an ice skating event entirely based on cross-dressing as a character from a favorite film while holding some kind of alcoholic beverage. For instance, I'd love to see a male skater dance as Margo Channing.

How nice that the gastric bypass isn't interfering with her digestion of all the Koolaid she's drinking.

"Implement these technologies"??? So now date rape is a "technology"??

Early Madonna emanated confidence shading into an 80s glam version of badass arrogance. Madonna of today exudes a queasy mixture of arrogance plus desperation. Honestly, most of the recent pics of her remind me of Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard updated with botox and plus aeons of running, power yoga, etc. I wish…

Recently completed Hild by Nicola Griffith set in 7th century Britain. One of those fabulous historical novels that immerses you in an entirely different culture and era. Also, if you're an historical fiction fan looking for a long winter's read, try Kristen Lavransdatter, which was published as a trilogy back in the…

Apparently full bush goes with hipster glasses and is only for brunettes with white skin. Don't make the fashion faux pas of wearing a full bush without glasses. Or being a blonde, redhead and/or POC with untamed pubic hair.

Way to make a good impression when you start a new job:

When I saw the movie for the first time soon after it came out, I thought the male characters represented a realistic cross-section—for the most part not villainous but human-scaled, some very venal, some trying their best. I was surprised (naively I guess) when the movie aroused so much controversy. I think it had to…

Your need to characterize viewpoints new to you or which differ from your own as "outrage" speaks volumes about your lack of sophistication.

As I recall, people didn't like Keitel's character, saying he was "too weak." Which is ridiculous, it's just that so many people, then and now, are conditioned to want a male hero to save the day in an action flick. Whereas one of the things that is great about Thelma and Louise is that is not structured around some…

I remember this film was ridiculously controversial when it came out. Lots of men (and the kind of women who enjoy getting cookies for agreeing with anti-feminist men) complaining about how "hateful" they thought it was and how there wasn't a strong, trustworthy male character. When I used to point out that there were…

There are plenty of mixed race people, some of them famous go ahead and Google if you want, whose mixed racial heritage surprises people who assumed they were white. Genetics are more variable than you seem to assume. Plus which, the emphasis on race/color in the skit is what I was referring to in my original comment…

My agenda that TV is racist? Yes, racism exists in society and is often represented on television. That's a fact, not an agenda. Go away and play with the other trolls now.

What agenda? I made an observation about a skit on tv. I'm not getting upset about it, just having a conversation. The fact that it gets under your skin so much makes you look like a troll.

You do realize that the notion of a "white race" is a false construct, right? And that the definition of who gets called white (and therefore has access to white privilege) has changed over time? Back in the early part of last century, people from Spain, Italy and Greece were typically seen as non-white.
