Eleanor Roosevelt wasn't a politician, either. Being a politician's spouse does not make someone a politician. The term I would use -- and it's very distinct from "politician" -- is "public figure." There's a real difference there.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For me, public figure is synonymous with celebrity, and doesn't require the amount of political activism that an agitating First Lady may be engaging in.
Not that I can think of one or two words that sums it up without implying elected official.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Also, there was no Betty Crocker. It's tricksy world.
I have a cousin named Betty Crocker, actually.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
since the judge determined that Phillips gifted it to Irons. Doesn't the judge's decision on gifting it mean it has already been determined that she did not steal it?
Legally, sure. In my opinion? Hell no. The judge determined wrong.
I think I should get nominated for an Oscar. It seems like a pretty good gig.

So there were rumours that Marcia Cross was gay, based on (mere existence of?) the Advocate cover story featuring her. Said cover is about the rumour that Marcia Cross is gay. It's very confusing. It's amnesia and a reset button away from JJ Abrams plotting.

But ita, I need to know, would you put your life before JJs?
I mostly just want to watch you reenact that scene from the bodyguard and carry him through the crowd.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
How many homeless people could that monetary amount have fed?
...housed, medicated, and educated? My Inner Socialist Hippie is in the corner with Steph's.
Also, if the kid gets any money from his OBC, I vote it's put into an account to fund the massive therapy s/he's gonna need when s/he learns the method of conception. Freaky shit, man.
