]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Sean Combs's New Fragrance Is Called "I Am King." That Is All.]]> Um really? We are all descended from kings? Last time I checked the men in my family were descended from potato farmers.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Bush Administration Is Gunning For Birth Control Under The Guise Of Religious Beliefs]]> @SarahMC: did you see he made a point to go to CHURCH in China, to give a shoutout to all the oppressed Christians there? How much do you want to bet he NEVER goes to church in DC. Which one does he belong to, even? He is such a hollow gourd of a man.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Bush Administration Is Gunning For Birth Control Under The Guise Of Religious Beliefs]]> @SarahMC: or even like, to pray that Mccain will win? Honestly if they think Obama will be stopped by RAIN then fucking bring the pain dudes, give me all you got.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Bush Administration Is Gunning For Birth Control Under The Guise Of Religious Beliefs]]> @Shotrock: omg this is actually hilarious. So Satan's agenda is to get in there and mess with the public school curriculum???? So specific! It's not to say, PLANT BOMBS at medical clinics or anything right? Nope, Satan would hate that.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Bush Administration Is Gunning For Birth Control Under The Guise Of Religious Beliefs]]> @Shotrock: actually Randall Terry is more liberal than the Leavitt. His rules only apply to those who confess to be followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. HOMEFREE MOTHERFUCKERS!!! Christians should just start Christian pharmacies if they don't want to be tainted by heathen babykillers. And get zero federal funding. PS How many kids does Mr. Terry have?

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Bush Administration Is Gunning For Birth Control Under The Guise Of Religious Beliefs]]> @SarahMC: is there like a public resource that calls out places that don't provide emergency or other conception? i live in hippieland where i can't imagine anyone doing that.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Bush Administration Is Gunning For Birth Control Under The Guise Of Religious Beliefs]]> Hmmm I wonder if HHS would support me if I got a job as a crisis pregnancy counselor and started telling women how to DIY abortion. It's my conscience man!!!

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> @braak: i like that kid who was in billy elliot, though.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Baby Trouble]]> I think I'm going to rely on the rosary to get preggers when I'm ready, like J-Lo. Maybe the Virgin will bless me with mysterious twins too!

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Bush Administration Is Gunning For Birth Control Under The Guise Of Religious Beliefs]]> I think wherever we know a practitioner is refusing to provide birth control, we need to have people out front handing out wire hangers. Abortion doesn't go away motherfuckers, it just gets uglier when you outlaw it.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Bush Administration Is Gunning For Birth Control Under The Guise Of Religious Beliefs]]> Somebody has GOT to make a feminist zombie movie about the unborn rising up and clobbering this fascist administration.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> @PilgrimSoul: You have a point but in no way can Brad Pitt be compared with Keanu Reeves and Ashton Kutcher. Totally different universes. At least Brad tries to pick well written movies.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> @LaComtesse: oh her new music is abysmal. I'm mainly talking about her style and sense of self. I just like thinking of her living in a tiny town in Texas with a cowboy. I could be projecting.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> @sarah.of.a.lesser.god: i'm loling just thinking about it. The hair alone in Troy... poor Brad. He thought that was gonna be his Oscar!

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> @braak: I actually like him quite a bit in a lot of movies, though he is easy to poke fun of.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> @LaComtesse: I think transitioning from homeless manic pixie dream girl to country music goddess was a very good move for Jewel. It's hard to grow up as a MPDG, you end up like Shirley McClaine.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> @PilgrimSoul: aw cut a guy a break. he worked really hard on 12 monkeys!!!

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> I'm glad the money goes to charity (suspending for a moment my suspicion of what exactly Raising Malawi accomplishes, Madonna not exactly being an experienced international ngo manager), but seriously, who wants a book of photographs of Malawian orphans on their coffee table? Depressing AND potentially objectifying! I'll stick with John Stewart's America.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> @formerlyzivah: HOT couple. I was wondering how she was gonna do better than Dermott Mulroney but she has. Way to go both of ye. And, may I add, way to choose age-appropriate as well as attractive partners.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Jewel Ties The <strike>Knot</strike> Lasso]]> Frankly i think it is usually appropriate to sell drinks cheaper to the locals than to tourists. Otherwise what's the point of having a local? (Cue Cheers theme music).

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Willem Dafoe, Wife: Ciao, Bella!]]> Wait IS that Elizabeth LeCompte? I thought a. they divorced and b. she was a lot older

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on Assassination, Impeachment and Prison Sentences]]> Ole Ray does have the assassin-ready triple name...

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on We Always Cry At Weddings, And The Movie <em>Rachel Getting Married</em> Is No Exception]]> @hortense: it's true. Do it for Debra.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on We Always Cry At Weddings, And The Movie <em>Rachel Getting Married</em> Is No Exception]]> ugh, i had to keep myself from stopping the preview early... looks way too schlocky and predictable and cliched and fails to improve my opinion of Anne Hathaway HOWEVER I will watch anything with Anna Deavere Smith just to give her the residuals forever.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on I Just Spoke to Gloria <em>Fucking</em> Steinem!]]> @buttonflyer: She is so much greater in conversation than when she writes or gives a speech, I feel.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on ESPN Reporter Publicly Flogged For Wearing Low-Cut Dress In Locker Room]]> @ohheyhey: if to take oneself seriously is to internalize and obey the male gaze, then i guess so. i mean, on a practical level i kind of understand where you are coming from and i work in a field with very conservative dress standards, but i think it's a joke that we can make ourselves equal in the workplace by dressing "correctly" (given that different people have different definitions of "professional" "appropriate" "modest" etc.). our clothes are not the reason men fail to take us seriously in the workplace. i know that is not your point but when women join in on the policing of other women's appearances, it just really bums me out.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on ESPN Reporter Publicly Flogged For Wearing Low-Cut Dress In Locker Room]]> @MissMal: Fair enough, but my point is she is NOT a lawyer or an investment banker or any other profession with a well established "uniform" for women. She is a presenter on tv, and while you might see a big diff between her and an E presenter, I don't think it's necessarily clear beyond debate that her wardrobe should consist of polos and khakis (really? would you wear that if you were going on tv?) instead of dresses.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on ESPN Reporter Publicly Flogged For Wearing Low-Cut Dress In Locker Room]]> @Molly Crabapple: thank you, this was so well said!

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on ESPN Reporter Publicly Flogged For Wearing Low-Cut Dress In Locker Room]]> Also, generally speaking I am a-ok with a woman in a professional field realizing that the men she encounters will ALWAYS sexualize her, and instead of fighting a losing battle by attempting to make herself totally sexually unattractive, to just accept it and make the best of it, even (GASP!) potentially benefitting from it once in a while.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on ESPN Reporter Publicly Flogged For Wearing Low-Cut Dress In Locker Room]]> @nozzle: seriously!!! talk about restraint. if she can handle it, i think the boys can.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on ESPN Reporter Publicly Flogged For Wearing Low-Cut Dress In Locker Room]]> @roodles: so it's a skirt/pants thing? Because there are plenty of work situations that would look down upon jeans. i continue to sense a gendered aspect to your criticisms of the outfit.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on ESPN Reporter Publicly Flogged For Wearing Low-Cut Dress In Locker Room]]> @JerseyGrrrl: Most businesses have a dress code. That would be a "professional" way to handle it.

]]> <![CDATA[J.D.Regent commented on ESPN Reporter Publicly Flogged For Wearing Low-Cut Dress In Locker Room]]> @MissMal: YES! I think in many professional settings a warm hand on the shoulder is appropriate. Has a male sportscaster never congratulatorily slapped an athlete on the back?

Even if she was flirting, why is that so bad? She's interviewing! She's getting them to open up! Matt Lauer flirts with his interviewees sometimes. Dave Letterman. It's human banter. We are not all robots as long as we are being paid by the hour.
