The book was well-researched. I live in central Illinois and grew up immersed in all things Lincoln because my aunt was descended from Mentor Graham (the teacher at New Salem who loaned Lincoln books and helped him learn to read the law). She will be up in heaven shitting bricks of anger when I go to see this movie. Read more

He's from southern China, a very small orphanage with only 12-20 kids at a time. The director was a doctor, so all the children had medical conditions but received amazing care. Read more
I looked at that beaker and thought how ironic it would be if the cure for cancer turned out to really be pink. Read more
So pink shot with a golden yellow for that coral color. Amazing. Read more
All the children in my son's orphanage had the name of the county, then the name of the orphanage director, and then their personal name. The director wanted them to feel like a family, and to be able to find each other when they were older. Read more
She looks like a Grecian goddess. I wish I could see the fabric of the dress in person—it seems to have several shades of orange within it. Read more
I had a moment of sadness for Maya Rudolph and her amazing "Bobby B!" impersonation. She's hosting SNL nexy week, but certainly that act will never be done again. Read more
Same here. I love Freddie Mercury's energy to push me along, and then I remember that I will never hear him sing Fat Bottomed Girls live, and I am so sad. He was unique and manic and just so talented. Read more
Animal bats. His backup dancers had these greenish jumpsuits with flying squirrel sleeves, and they did a bunch of flips. It was the best part of hisperformance. Read more
OK, I was sitting in front of the TV trying to sort out a new knitting project and suddenly realized I was listening to Chris Brown at the Grammys. He is quite mediocre. And the dancing bat people aren't helping much. Read more
One of my friends just posted a photo of Whitney on Faceboook. Prior to a concert in the early 90's, she posed in a sweatshirt with a photo of a boy from my hometown who was serving in the first Gulf War. She looks fresh-faced and sweet, and that photo did a lot to cheer Ned up when he was stationed far from home. Read more
Maybe Jennifer has enough emotional distance to be able to pull this off on short notice. It could be too difficult to perform without breaking down, especially the older singers, the ones who knew Whitney from the time she was a child. It might just be too painful for them to handle all the sudden preparations that… Read more
That was my first thought also, that Donatella had finally downgraded her tan from Code Orange. Read more
I just take my babies down to the local hibachi grill. If they can catch it, they can eat it. Dinner and exercise all at once. Read more
Whoever this singer is, I want to see her go up against the "Leave Britney Alone" guy in The Hunger Games. And Rebecca Black. And the "Lock up your women-they're raping everybody" guy. Read more
The Jezzies won't be allowed to actually parent. Those of you deemed suitably fertile will just be rounded up and used as surrogates for the Republican elites. Newt's already put in an order for 12 handmaidens. Read more
Karl Lagerfield looks like a dirty Q-tip with that waxy fake tan. While Adele glows like the moon. Read more
I was thinking about that also, but then most of these men are only children thanks to China's one-child policy, and their parents are probably relentless in their pressure to carry on the family name. Read more
I want a hat that looks like a cake with frosting roses. Or maybe I just want some frosting roses. I think selling just decorated icing shapes should be the next food trend. Read more
I remember an old Hints-from-Heloise that suggested saving the wax wrappers from your butter sticks in the fridge, then draping them over hot bread for a buttery crust. And I used to do this and it was wonderful. A quick sprinkling of dried herbs or sea salt before the butter completely soaks it also gives a great… Read more
