...corn-fed cute rather than overwhelmingly beautiful. She has a common touch, and a woman even slightly more beautiful would struggle to connect as she does. When McCarthy meets a mom, when she spits forth a stream of profanity and common sense - the foulmouthed comedian from Chicago never far from the surface - she is there as a mother, not as a celebrity or starlet. That's what got her there, but that's not who she is once she's there. She speaks to so many frustrated, despairing mothers of autistic children because she is plausible, authentic. If you needed...

...near my lips. It took years of happy drinking off my life. It was poison. I hadn't really considered the fact that there would be people making absolutely horrible liquor. So suddenly I wondered if the idea that it is a public safety hazard isn't that far from the truth. But it seems that to criminalize moonshine because some people are making it badly is missing the point. (Read "Russia's Artisanal Moonshine Boom...
