According to my doctor, it's pretty common for people to only pee 2-3 times a day, though the norm is 5-6. (Why, no, I had no particular reason for asking...) So if people who are hydrating can manage to only do it a few times, maybe it's not totally crazy that she pulled it off.

She's appointed by the Lt. Gov., so definitely not classified as a neutral employee.

As someone who, after last night, moved Kirk Watson hiiiigh up on her list of Male Politicians Allowed To Get Up In My Vaginal Business (If You Know What I Mean [Wink, Wink]), I say: how dare they.

The brunette is Emily Ratajkowski. Basically her entire career has been built on partially or fully nude shots, including full-frontal. I think if you watch the full video, you'll see that she actually seems to be having a really good time vamping it up, particularly towards the end.

Pride flag flying over the Connecticut Governor's Residence in Hartford. We also like to fly the flag over our state capitol with pretty good frequency, even outside of Pride Month. That's been a state-sanctioned tradition since 1999.

Think my prize could be finally escaping the Gawker Greydom? *ovaries crossed*

Oh hey, check out the upper-right — Kenny Rogers is now in the capitol press pool. Glad to see he's working.

Are you guys as weirdly aroused by Kirk Watson's brain as I am? Is it even better when you're that close to it? Just wondering.

Problem is that most legislatures use Mason's Manual. But these leaders don't seem like the brightest bulbs, soooooo...

She was in the final third of her filibuster. You can't abort anything after the 2/3 mark. LET HER SPEAK.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

My brother's "sugar baby" did it because she was from a broken home, was looking for a replacement father figure, and decided that living off someone and continuing to smoke pot all day at home was a better option than, you know, getting a job and being productive and shit. This article focused on college women to…

Wait, how come I only got Facebook ads telling me to sell my eggs to pay for college? My ovaries were in demand, but not my cuddles? Dammit.

My middle-aged brother's barely-out-of-high-school girlfriend found him through a sugar daddy/baby dating website. Little did she know that a) he isn't rich and b) he really just wanted someone young enough to be fertile and give him more children. (Rebound after a divorce.) He kept up the "rich" gag, blowing…

Oh, dear.

If it's not even middle 50% at SUNY-Binghamton, it's not getting you into UT.

Yes, but not everyone attends one of those top-tiers, which is why legacy status is often a bigger deal at the bottom half of the top 100. And actually, even among the prestige schools, the self-selecting ones tend to have lousy graduation rates. Women's colleges are notoriously bad; Smith, for example, loses a full…

Yes. They also openly disclose this information to the College Board (it's always listed as "Alumni Relation"), so if you're ever wondering whether a college factors in legacy status, you can check their profile there.

One of the arguments in favor of heavy legacy admits is the attrition rate. Legacies have a far higher retention rate than non-legacy applicants at most institutions, partly due to familial pressure ("dammit, young lady, you're going to maintain the family tradition whether you want to or not!") and partly due to the…

For competitive admission, yes, it's low. 3.75/4.0 is generally considered the minimum target for successful applicants to top-tier colleges. The year I was accepted to my alma mater, the average was a 3.81 for first-years and 3.86 for transfers. To use everyone's favorite example, nearly 90% of Harvard admits from…
