That's fine for you. There are larger issues here, and Hough's "error" is symptomatic of a more profound problem. If you think the opposite of educating people is "getting angry constantly", you have a great deal to learn about activism. I wish you luck in your personal quest to educate. That's great, and people…

Improve your reading comprehension. I did not say intent makes no difference. I said it was trumped by outcome. And trust me, not only is ignorance a poor excuse in a interconnected global world, but even if it wasn't, just because someone doesn't know better than to use an offensive term like "tranny" doesn't make…

It is absolutely NOT all about intent. A basic tenet of not being an asshole is realizing that outcome trumps intent. If you do or say something racist, its not all about your hurt fee-fees that someone thinks that terrible thing about you, or you crowing about "what's in my heart" (the favorite line of politicians…

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again...with another sport. And make sure you alienate those national team members and that sport by making fun of your small funding checks, so that you continue your tradition of sowing goodwill where ever you go.

Ironside has already been canceled. I didn't think the show gelled, but I was loving Blair Underwood's performance, and anything that puts Pablo Schreiber on my TV with regularity deserves some love. I'm sorta feeling feels about this.

I think he's just fine with it...for him.

I was thinking the same thing. Even on average billing from TXU, our electricity bills were between $300-$400 routinely during the summer. However, how is he already getting a shut-off notice? And more importantly, this fat, black feminist hopes he burns up or alternately freezes to death in that bitch, with an…

Nope. Not today. Don't have the strength.

As everyone else has piled on, I might as well too. Why the hell are you not watching Sleepy Hollow? It is my favorite new show this season. It has a ridiculously beautiful cast of eye candy who also have acting chops, and the chemistry between the two leads is CRAZY, especially for a show that just started. Tim…

He's so gorgeous it's just stupid.

I can't wait to see this. The Phantom Tollbooth is a piece of American greatness: not literary greatness, or children's literature greatness, just greatness. The perfect combination of Juster and Feiffer is something I need to know more about.

You are more than welcome. I saw him perform it at the supper club 54 Below last year, and the whole room, male and female, old and young, every ethnicity and race, were absolutely SWOONING.

Aaron Tveit of Les Miserables and Broadway fame recorded a lovely mash-up of "If I Loved You/To Make You Feel My Love" for his album The Radio in My Head. My personal favorite version is by the Irish singer Mary Black.

I'm perplexed by all the "haha!!" and "hahaha!!". Are these to indicate he believes he has made a humorous statement intentionally, as opposed to the inherent humor in "abrotion", the use of the term "bull dykes" (what year is this?) and his promise/threat to write "a much more detailed blog about this on my site…

Thank you for the advice. I will check out Macy's and perhaps I can stock up one several at one time. Because otherwise, I think my boobs will have to continue in sad discomfort...

I want to hate this topic, because as a Witch for almost 30 years, I can't say these pop culture and folkloric depictions make our lives any easier. But having said that, I'm going with an obscure but awesome choice. If you've seen the Twilight Zone episode Jess-Belle, you know that Granny Hart may be the BEST WITCH…

If you ask me, Dr. Sam Beckett is aging VERY well...

Ok, I'm probably calling myself out, especially because I own Coach and Michael Kors handbags and Gucci eyeglasses and sunglasses. But I save up a long time for those bags (and the online factory store sales do not go amiss), and I bought the glasses on my medical credit account on which I'm also paying for my dog's…

And before that, he blithely admits to reading the Washington Times, the conservative rag that was founded by the Moonies. But the Washington Post is "shrilly liberal"? This man lives on Bizarro-world, without question.

I don't think the two critiques are mutually exclusive. I think you can explore the privilege and "everything but the burden" appropriation going on here, and also analyze why these young women's sexual presentation is both commodified and pointed to as shameful and degrading. After all, if there wasn't a "good…
