In addition to the two errors mentioned above by a2z421, there's also this:

"These conditioners coat the air and smooth its surface." I think it's supposed to be HAIR not AIR.

Yes, we're persnickety. But when it's obvious an article hasn't been edited properly, it's hard to take other aspects of the article seriously. Probably everything in this article is accurate, but if there was no editing then there was probably little to no fact checking either.

To the troll claiming that a majority of Americans are pro-life:

Actually, if you read that poll instead of quoting conservative talking points, around half of respondents didn't identify themselves as either pro-choice or pro-life. Only among people who chose one side or the other did the pro-life identification slightly edge out the pro-choice identification. There was no majority, but the plurality did not identify themselves as one or the other. Questions that ask about support for legal abortion are a better measure.

It's definitely about Ted Stevens. I'm sure she would be perfectly happy answering the question "who did you vote for for President?" but the inevitable follow-up would ask who she picked for Senate (and Representative). And she would sound even MORE ridiculous if she was open about her presidential vote but then refused to talk about her other choices.

This was nauseating. Didn't we already get this article from Ayelet Waldman? Basically the author wants a gay son so she can have a sidekick, someone who serves HER needs and interests. Look at the way she even talked about the relationship between Will and Grace - Will is snappily entertaining (for Grace) but "ultimately supportive" (of Grace). I'll bet the author just loves all those moves where Julia Roberts has a gay best friend whose sole purpose in life is to provide comfort/advice to Julia Roberts. Call me crazy, but I'm guessing most gay men would rather be independent individuals than helpmates for their narcissistic mothers.

You don't have to dump someone for being environmentally unfriendly, but can and probably should dump someone for being a jerk. This guy sure sounds like one!

Why is it that nobody tells a man "you're only voting for him because he's male"?

Nicely put. I was also Harvard undergraduate and now I'm a Harvard graduate student. My family does not have a vacation home. I don't have a trust fund. When I've been able to travel abroad it's been with a hiking pack on my back and a reservation at the cheapest hostel. I am $60,000 in debt with student loans, and I'm planning to go into public service anyway. And I'm not alone - there are many, many, many of us who don't fit the stereotype. The vitriol Cary directed at Ivy Leaguers is unwarranted and tiresome.

I thought the plant idea was wonderful until I read SmartPoppet's suggestion of alternating between your two spots, which is even better. It's less likely to get you into trouble with your condo board. On the other hand, if you're still getting interlopers in whichever space is unoccupied on a given day, you can go back to the plant idea.

To be honest, though, I think it's sad that you should have to spend any time, money, or energy devising ways to protect what's yours. You're paying hundreds of dollars a month for your condo and parking spaces. Why should you have to make concessions to anyone?

I put up with the faint smell of cigarette smoke from some other apartment every evening for months, even though smoking indoors is clearly against the rules of our building. Then I thought, why in the hell am I putting up with this? I'm not paying $1200 a month to get hotboxed by Joe Camel. So I put up a complaint sign in the building foyer and things have been stink-free ever since.

Let me paraphrase the letter from rebecalouise:

"Waaahh! All I want is to go get a pedicure, but Hillary Clinton is FORCING me to keep phonebanking for Obama! Why hasn't Clinton served Obama the nomination on a silver platter like he deserves?? Waaahhhh!!"

Sense of entitlement, much?

I think some people are misinterpreting this article's critique. It is not saying that films should be slavishly true to reality, but that this film's very particular deviation gives a rather ill treatment to a real-life, living person. When Shakespeare wrote Henry V, it wasn't as if Hal and pals were still kicking around.

It just seems kind of crass that Florence has to go about her business knowing that so many people out there have gotten the wrong idea about her. Maybe she doesn't care, but it still seems unfortunate. This article shows that films depicting recent events should perhaps be handled with a little more care and diplomacy than historical period pieces.

"Isn't Idaho, like, the mothership of white supremacy? Interesting."

If it is, do you think those people are attending the *Democratic* caucus?
