The term I would use -- and it's very distinct from "politician" -- is "public figure." There's a real difference there.

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.

Also, there was no Betty Crocker. It's tricksy world.

I have a cousin named Betty Crocker, actually.

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.

Great. Spat brisket onto my screen.

Well, it wouldn't count as heavy lifting, would it?

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.

One set of footprints in the sand....

That's when ita was carrying YOU, J.J.

I don't think the rape analogy really works here. There are plenty of things, reproductively, that don't give men and women the same rights, just because biology doesn't work that way. For one thing, a woman who's been raped has the choice to have an abortion. This man does not. (And yes, I know that there are way more issues in there, and that the woman would probably have to pay for the abortion, and that not everyone would make that choice, and a million other things, but what I'm trying to say is that the cases are not comparable.)

Also, if a woman gets pregnant, and she doesn't want to have a baby but the father does, his opinion matters not at all, legally, in whether she gets an abortion. (This isn't directly relevant, just in the "reproductive rights are not equivalent for men and women" vein.)

And I completely disagree with the judges "gifted" ruling. Unless the man said, "Here, have some sperm," that was not a gift.
