Seriously. EOnline had this on the front page of its site yesterday.

Is it just me or....?

Almost certainly the lawyer and plaintiff (and may I just add with respect to said plaintiff here, because it seems especially apropos, even though I know it'll make the baby Jesus cry and all other Jez commenters break out in hives, YOU GO, GURL) are correct. It's been a long time since Con Law but I think the town…

Why the fuck is Jezebel still pushing piece after piece about this non-starter of a story - what is at MOST worthy of a "ZOMG!" followed by a 5-second chuckle - on us all? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU?

All teh juicy is downthread. I am so sorry - I never saw the notification you'd commented until yesterday.

I wrote the full story downthread. I am so sorry - I never saw the notification you'd commented until yesterday.

DAMMIT KINJA. FIRST you don't even tell me people responded to me for over a YEAR, then you eat my thoughtful, carefully composed response at the last possible minute! UGH. Anyway. This might be long. Forgive me.

Kind of mind-boggling isn't it? We'll just have to hold them in our hearts REAL HARD.

I'm aware of the issue - and it's abominable, make no mistake. But I chose my words carefully. A creditor cannot imprison a debtor solely on the basis of not paying a consumer debt. The situation in the Barrett case - and in hundreds of others - is slightly different. There, what they're nailing the debtors on is not…

I believe the government has already committed to sending assistance, and President Jonathan has accepted the offer. But your point about learning more about the various states and their positions on the world political stage is a valid one.

Thank you. We do what we can with what we have. If someone had any ideas for further action, I'm sure everyone here would be grateful for the info, myself included.

Yes. THE LINK. Which I did not write. What I DID write was "Today ... I hold in my heart." That link is the only I've found with the girls' names. Go find a Wiccan one or a post by an atheist if it makes you feel better and I'll use that instead. I DON'T.CARE. What I DO care about? The return of the women who were…

Thank you.

Show me where I said "prayer." Anywhere. I didn't.

Yes, of course, you're completely right. How thoughtless of me not to get on my private plane and fly to Nigeria armed like Rambo and rescue them myself. If thinking of each of these women and holding hope for them is the best I can do, why on earth would you aggressively seek some way to cut me down for that? What is…

After my brother died (four months after receiving an esophageal cancer Dx), my 79 year old mother, who nursed him through all four months pretty much by herself (we tried to help - she wouldn't let us) received a phone call from one of his unsecured creditors while I was visiting with her. She patiently listened to…

Today I am holding Deborah Agbe in my heart. http://achurchforstarvingartists.wordpress.com/2014/05/06/ple…

THIS. This is the thing that creeps me out the most. Think about the kind of douchecanoe you have to be to think "Hmm, hacking into a baby monitor isn't hard, but it does require *some* effort - oh, but it will be SO WORTH IT BECAUSE I GET TO SCREAM AT A BABY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT."

I can only speak for myself. I vastly preferred the recovery from my C-section. MUCH easier.

That's about the only thing that could save this whole mess. Well, that and the gang ending up in jail ... ooh. :::scurries off to cook up some fanfic:::
