I think that is his belt.

I was bored out of my skull for all but about 10 minutes. Granted, action movies aren't my favorite. But Ironman3 -- they managed to make an action movie that was layered and interesting. It's possible.

I thought about that Bechtal rule. And that gratutious underwear shot? Give me a fucking break.

May 21 bareboards commented on White People More Likely to See Anger in Obama's Expressions.

The comment stream on that website is disheartening in the extreme.

The article was careful to say that we are more adept at reading expressions within our own tribe (tribe is my word.)

The comment stream is blatantly racist however.

Misanthrope clearly needs to get a life. Jesus H Christ. Shut the fuck up, mister.

May 7 bareboards commented on Minnesota—Marriage Equality's Most Ironic Victory?.

I am so happy to be witness to this seismic shift in our culture.

May 3 bareboards commented on SL Letter of the Day: No Magic Beans.

I'm not a football fan, but I seem to remember there was some amazing pass done by Tebow in a Denver game that sportswriters were trying give a catchy name. Hallelujah Pass was one of the options.

Maybe Dan was remembering that?

Then again, I'm not a football fan, so goodness knows where I came up with all this. Google was no help -- so I guess naming that pass didn't take.

Showing my age.... Bob Mackey was the costume designer most associated with Cher in her hey day.

He said she had the best armpits in the business.

And yes, they were totally "fat" free.

Haley, thank you for adding to this discussion. You may be getting dumped on by some -- please know that I found you refreshing and honest.

And I will chime in to say it is responsible gun owners like you and the other 90% who need to put some pressure on the NRA. Because they sure as heck aren't listening to us liberal Constitution-hating freaks.

May 1 bareboards commented on Americans Heart Surveillance Cameras.

Chiming in the majority here -- I like the idea of surveillance cameras in public places. Always have. IT'S A PUBLIC PLACE.

Folks afraid of the footage being used in other ways is exactly the same paranoia of the gun-huggers who resist every attempt to bring commonsense to gun control through registration and limitation -- fear that someday, somehow, that information will be used to gather up their guns or that the limitations are just the first step on the slippery slope of no guns at all.

Commonsense. Rule of law. Let's rely on them, okay?
