    How in the world can Oprah be America's faux cultural tastemaker? America has no genuine culture for her to approximate - unless hybridizing and multiplying by 3 the cuisines du monde counts as a culture.


    Way to stay classy, Gawker. In a week when several billionaires gathered at the Rockefeller University to discuss revolutionizing philanthropy, this was a much more riveting story.


    Now, there was something unique about that story. If only I could remember what it might be... If only there was a blog aimed toward smart independent women that could remind me what it was... I guess it's just easier to cross-post this bullshit, or, you know, post about somebody getting drunk enough to lose a tampon up their cooch.

    Caj, I love ya, but step away from the Oprah. Don't make me take my earrings off.


    P.S. Oprita's been Skyping for at least a year or two now. Personally I think it's Harpo Studio's way of cutting costs - "why fly 'em in if you can skype 'em in".

    That's right, blame it on mothers, you serial killer. What is it that makes having a kid suddenly turn a woman into the most uncool being ever? Rhetorical question. It's past 8 p.m. I have to give the kid a bath and go to bed where I'll languish in unfulfilled agony reading porn, I mean a romance novel.

    @The Cajun Boy: Uh, sorry I didn't see this last night, but I really did have to bathe Little Penguino and then go to bed. I commute, so it's up early for me. All I was trying to convey was my frustration that mothers are the single group that can bring ruination to something fun and/or cool (per your description, above). No one flees from something because dads like it. That's all. Sorry for the outburst!

    @Cookie Guggleman: Nothing unsafe about turboprops. Thousands of them fly every day without incident. And when's the last time you heard of a turboprop going down because of a double bird strike? In some ways turboprops are actually safer than jets. (In other ways less so, but overall it's a wash.)


    Both jets and turboprops have crashed over the years, in roughly equal proportions given their usage...
