ABC news are naming that suspect as Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, who they say is an engineering student at University College, London. (Wall Street Journal: "Abdul Mudallad"; MSNBC: "Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab".)
Kinda like how they always fuck up Osama/Usama bin Laden and how they had differing pronunciations of Qatar (/ka-tar/, /cut-ter/, /gut-ter/) etc... can't we all just get along? lawls.
I am 3rd generation jewish in NY and Chinese food has been a huge part of my families culture for all 3 generations. Each generation has become less strict with religious practices since forever. My grandparents generation were Kosher at home. 2 separate sinks but were the first to order pork at a Chinese restaurant. Chinese food was a bounty feast we could enjoy even on Christmas. It was also something we could enjoy and relate to from a cultural perspective like humor. (Did that sound really un pc? Well, it's the truth.)
@kappakappaspankme: the amusing thing to me is you commentators are such cheeky bastards I thought he was probably being sarcastic. But I am on your side. I come to this site because I find it's a refuge from the vapid, intellectually dishonest, political chest thumping.
Which is why it's probably better not to even engage these people.
@Mount_Prion: well, to be fair, they were down due to the uncertainty of this debate. Once it took shape, prospectors drove the prices back up. They will probably dip down again a bit to a more modest, stable level. This is not a "win" for insurance companies by any means. It's just less damage to them than it could have been - far less... (given that at the beginning of this debate, one of the options was to abolish for-profit health insurance.)
You have to admit that fashion and style blogging has the opened many doors for a lot of people who wouldn't have had a voice under the old regime, though. But I will agree that writing a trend piece about people who write about trends is overkill.
@MissNormaDesmond: Seems like Robbins wasn't half as outraged as you are being on his behalf. Maybe it's time to pull that red hot poker outta your ass MsDesmond.
@themediatrix: Because we hear ad infinitum about the protectiness-needing of Sacred Marriage, and it's worth pointing out that as an institution, it's doing a swell job of making itself profane all on its own.
@NoodlePress: Nor mine. It was probably not that they started early, but had not yet slept off the previous night. I've heard of people getting DUIs at 8 or 9 am from the night before.
@Le_Horla: Okay. I just had a problem with you comparing him to RDJ, even though drug abuse does plenty to loved ones. If he's guilty, which I question, he really should pay.
@Streeter: By the time an actor gets to that pay level he/she has a huge group of people who are dependent on him/her and they are a part of the economy. Just like Washington D.C. bails out fuckwad, trainwreck bankers so does *hollywood* bail out fucked up loser money makers.
@jeffinfo001: Not only am I in favour of closing Gitmo, I think the detainees should be invited to your house for tea and krumpets. Sadly, I think, rather than being offered tasty vittles, you would subject them to angry-white-man-chest-thumping-and-inadequately-sized-pen0r swinging.
@LoveHandles: Eh. The age old internetz conundrum. If you ignore them, you don't validate their existence. If you promote them or respond, you do validate their voice but you also promote their stupidity.
The troll inside me loves a feast o' lolmilk and caek now and then. And this guy is covered in my favourite flavour of frosting: drooling moron.
@jeffinfo001: I'm pretty sure she has a vagina. No need for the quotes around the words "her" and "she." Unlike my calling you a "cocksucker." Here the irony-bearing quotes are necessary, since I doubt you're good at anything as much fun as sucking cock.
@honey's dead: I'm not sure why you think I have a flippant attitude about domestic violence. I don't. The sad fact is that Hollywood protects its babies, regardless of what they do. In a few years, if Charlie keeps clean, people will forget this. People are already questioning the fact that they were both drunk on Christmas morning. His PR people will come up with stories of how devoted a father he is, and how though they were separated, he joined his wife in Colorado for the sake of his children. I'm sorry for being so cynical but that's how it works and it's very sad.

I could hang with this guy and enjoy it.
I think he is a good Dad from what I see and read.
He was great in Benjamin Button and Basterds.
He's done more quality work in NO than our govt. and continues to work helping those folks.
Christ, Brangelina adopt like crazy.
The Oceans series is a hoot of pretty boys; what's wrong with being pretty?
His only weakness is he doesn't worship my penis as much as he should.
I agree Maher loves himself more than his car. I don't have HBO anymore, so don't really miss his self-annointments.
