These Cartier commercials are amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Several of them are, for sure.

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

Yikes. JPL is being sued.

He's claiming religious discrimination, but after spending an hour leafing through the briefs, the dude sounds like a total dick.

Because books.

Who is the couple with the PhD candidate? Because his girlfriend or wife, or whatever she is, is insanely whiny.

Rachel and Brendan from Big Brother. They are the worst. And he is a PhD candidate the same way I'm a figure skater.

Oh, is he not getting his PhD actually? (I can't for the life of me figure out why he's with her--she's annoying and such a drama queen!)

I do like some of the other folks, though. But I kinda like the army guy, but NOT his relationship with his wife at all (mostly because he's being an ass to her, she doesn't seem nearly that bad)

I got to the hotel at 8:15 and immediately turned on the TV! But annoyingly, though there is a restaurant here and they also say they can order from other restaurants...nowhere is there a menu for any of that. Or room service, apparently. I don't want to miss Good Wife after this, but I'll be hungry!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

He does sound like a total dick.

"The question is whether the plaintiff was fired simply because he was wasting people's time and bothering them in ways that would have led him to being fired regardless of whether it was about religion or whether he was treated worse based on the religiosity of his beliefs," said Volokh. "If he can show that, then he's got a good case."

If it was based on his religion and he wasn't bringing that into the workplace in such a way that would have had him banninated (okay, fired) even if he believed in a supreme platypus or Higgs Boson, then bad on JPL. But you can't try to shove your religion down people's throats in the workplace and claim that's just religious freedom. It's not.

I really don't understand ... people. I was writing more but I can sum it up with just not understanding people.

I mean, I'm sure he was in a PhD program before he went on Big Brother the first time, but he's got to be a professional reality show contestant at this point, after two seasons of BB and now this.

Having been in a PhD program... well, I'd probably still pick that over two seasons of Big Brother, but then I have an abhorrence of being on television.
