Wait — you guys know that this ad campaign is co-created by Gawker, right? You don't need to tell Burt — her bloggerly overlords have already done so.

We'll be discussing this story on New Mexico PBS Friday night (New Mexico In Focus — don't miss it!) but only to ridicule everyone involved.

These Target thongs in xl are the best and stretch to fit larger (meaning plus) sizes. Look for the Gillian O'Malley brand, sold in 3-packs on a little hanger, that have no elastic tape along the legs or top.

The maternity clothing is actually cute, stylish, well-proportioned. The plus sizes are all jersey sacks. I own more Target maternity clothing than Target anything else-clothing. It's ridiculous. But really, isn't this a problem everywhere? On a recent trip to Paris I pretty much wiped out the maternity section at the…

It grosses me out (and I know, I know — Citizens United, bleargh) to hear about organizations having rights. People have rights. And Catholics should have the right to use or not use contraception, as their consciences dictate. But an employer should not have the ability to say that his or her individual religious…

No, no. The Constitution grants you the right to believe as you wish, but not necessarily to act on that belief. There's an important distinction there. So members of the Church are welcome to believe that contraception is a sin, but it remains to be seen whether the Church can act to prevent its employees from…

Fair use is not really such a great defense here, IMO. From the US Copyright office: http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html

I thought, when I saw the ad, that the use of the song meant that the Beasties liked the product. Because those guys are smart and seem like they'd be on top of their licensing and would give something like this the thumbs up within the context of an appropriately negotiated licensing arrangement. In other words, a…

Eeek! I missed this until now and I'm not sure who else has seen it. How do we organize this sort of thing through Kinja?

Phone banking against this thing was the BEST. Every once in a while I'd get through to an older voter who was just so passionate about how her granddaughters were gonna keep the right to an abortion no matter what. Those ladies were the greatest.

I totally did not know that about VB Price. How did I not know that?

We need to all meet up! It's a moral imperative! Either that or we all already know each other and it will be weird but fun to figure that out. Good either way!

Can we please totally do this? I'd be so in. And this feels like a good time for it.

Never, ever, ever, EVER work for former professional dancers who now run their own nonprofit, staffed largely by former professional dancers, and paid for by their much older, mega-rich husbands. I'm just saying, it won't go well.

But can we please also see some clips of the new singer, Arnel Pieneda, if only because the documentary about him is so fabulous?

Why have I been washing my hands all this time, when the cure for all that ails me lives on the door handle of the Shell gas station bathroom?

She did found The Daily Beast. No mention of that?

I wrote about this here once before. I went into a pharmacy here in Albuquerque a few years ago, looking for Plan B. As it happens, I was also having a scrip for an antibiotic filled (Hooray! UTI plus Plan B!) and the horrid pharmacist, at 3am, refused to give me Plan B for the totally bogus reason that it was "too…

I assume that they, as professional political people, planned for the possibility that this would come out (having first decided not to release it themselves), agreed in advance as to what they would do, probably rehearsed it a few times, and are moving on with a minimum of emotion. This is strategy that we're seeing…

My takeaway was that ladies need to be getting pregnant, pumping out more girl babies, if we want more gender equality. Kind of like a Quiverfull (sp?) for feminism. Because as it turns out, it wasn't Bill Gates' nagging mom or his nagging wife that got him off the dime, it was the birth of his baby girl, born of his…
