We're reading all the Ramona books right now- we have a perfect "Beezus and Ramona" situation with our kids. It helps.

Yes, the classic "government can't fix anything, and we'll prove it to you by never even trying!" gambit.

It seems like the kind of thing that should circumvent the political process and start with local law enforcement. We've all heard of judges who use creative sentencing, right? I'm going to sound out some friends who are connected to law enforcement/prosecutors in Texas and see what they have to say. It probably won't…

You know, I can see the police kicking up a fuss about monitoring, but the app idea is brilliant! It saves time for the police, and it will instantly alert those who need it! If we can find a d@mn smartphone, we should be able to do this!

The last time I had mojitos I, ahem, overdid it a bit. They are wicked.

So, speaking of "naming and shaming," why aren't we seeing the names of the people who have posted these awful videos and #jadapose photos in these articles?

I am sure there are plenty of people who will jump right in here and say no new laws could have prevented this, but could I at least suggest to straw Second Amendment Man that we should maybe enforce the ones we have? Maybe we- I don't know- start TRACKING guys like this with anklets? When the abused person leaves is…

I wonder what deep religious significance those flower-pies hold.

Eureka! Thanks, lime green tie dye!

They will try to avoid saying all the things they know they shouldn't say- that's the beauty of it! It is simply impossible to argue their positions without resorting to language that demeans women for wanting bodily autonomy! Even a skilled communicator would have difficulty with it, and we all know that there are a…

So marriage is perfect if you wait to have sex? Uh huh. Check on those divorce stats, buddy. I know you're not interested in citing studied and stats, but if (to use your logic) 5% wait to have sex until they're married, and 50% of marriages end in divorce... you've got some pretty magical thinking going, there.

I once dosed while camping overnight at Pedernales outside Austin- by myself! I freaked out a little when I realized I had left the zip open on my tent and let in every mosquito on the planet, but it have me the opportunity to talk myself down. Tripping with people you love is so fun, but tripping by yourself can…

That made me LOL! I love acid stories.

It was all I could do while tripping to change from one seated position to another (I mean, everything's wonderful right here- what if everything changes when I move?). Actually moving around quickly? Wow. Maybe there was some speed on the bus.

You rock!

Well, trying to scare teens away from risky behavior always works, doesn't it?

I, for one, cannot WAIT for the anti-choice lawmakers to debate this. There are going to be some golden "legitimate rape" moments in those speeches! I don't know if Boehner has ways of keeping it off the floor, though.

I have a friend who driver her (paid for) Mercedes wagon until it absolutely died on her. One window wouldn't roll up, it had all kinds of problems... But it was paid for!

I would tune in to watch Whoopi converse with people.

How about this? #jadapose
