I recently read journalist Radley Balko's "Rise of the Warrior Cop" and San Diego was specifically cited as a bigger city where they have resisted the hysterical tide of NEED PARAMILITARY GEAR FOR EVERYTHING RAR, and have dialed back home raids for drug charges.

Yeah.

I distrust many cops, but I have heard that San Diego ones are better than most. I am very sorry that that happened to you, but I am glad you weren't further mistreated the way some people are.

No. I don't expect that. But forget it.

I saw mentions of his racism against WOC, but I didn't see particulars. I did notice the claims about sleeping with students and the attempted murder with more detail. If I had hunted down the origins of the racism claims, I would have found those but they were not there in my casual, 20 minutes of what the hell did…

(Except for the part where I misused that apostrophe. BLAME INSOMNASPELLNG.)

I think the headline you were looking for was :

People need to be defended, period. Someone less ill than Bynes may be could be in a similar situation and need to have her civil rights protected.

I appreciate the cliche of the upper middle class white feminist being tiresome. But she IS still a very young woman, and she seems to be trying to make a pretty good resource for teens and for those of us older but still pleased with the site. I'm 26 and a professional writer, and I still keep thinking of sending…

Not to say that the Jezebel powers that be weren't heavy-handed in response to that and all criticism, but Gevinson's Rookie Mag is pretty awesome and feminist. I would suggest checking it out.

Someone like Miley Cyrus, of course, will probably get away with her drug use.

Drugs are illegal?!

I almost tripped over Janet Napolitano at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. I wish I had.

Wow, fascinating. And definitely more of them than I would have thought. I am going to try to pick up that book.

Was it really hundreds of women who dressed up as soldiers in that war? I've heard of only half a dozen or so.
