jezebelcom:
Even in the face of tragedy, the buying of expensive crap must go on. At least, if you’re Oprah. And so, while entire towns are still closed off in New Jersey and children in Staten Island don’t have shoes, Oprah released a resurrected version of her famed Favorite Things list filled with even higher frivolity-level tchotchkes than usual.

From a $2,700 mattress to a $500 fan, Oprah’s list showcased items far beyond the reach of most consumers. We’ve picked out the most oblivious, tone-deaf bits and rated them for you on a scale of one to five Paltrows, in honor of Goop matron Gwyneth, a pioneer in out of touch rich lady recommendations.

Look, guys. No matter what a girl does, no matter how she’s dressed, no matter how much she’s had to drink, it’s never, never, never, never, never okay to touch her without her consent. That doesn’t make you a man, it makes you a coward.

The Worst Idea Ever Award

Obama seems obsessed with wanting to lead the country in what he sees as a post-partisan era while his opponents are so partisan they have only one goal in mind—to destroy him even if they have to burn down the house to do it.

So. Much. THIS. The “they should be able to agree with my proposals” attempts at bipartisanship that only results in right-wing policies while right wingers cry victim was cute maybe the first thousand times. New tactic time, Mr. President!
