@BuffySummers: California attorney here. I don't do criminal law but I have been thinking about this and did a little research. If you cheer someone on, hold the victim down, etc., you're clearly an accessory. But my understanding is that under California law, if you stand there and do nothing one way or the other,…

@lunaar001: Local papers are reporting that the security at the dance was sent home at 9 pm, before the dance was over (and before the attack) because the school would have to pay them overtime after 9. #homecominggangrape

@AtomiClash: humanitarian misanthrope: Amen, sister. John Mayer alone is a STD on legs. #bradpittmotorcycleaccident

@Our Lady of the Massacre: Uh, the Jaycee thing wasn't because of NorCal's "ultra-permissive/ultra-tolerant" culture (which is a cliche) either. That was because of incompetent parole officers who didn't do their jobs. #richmondgangrape

@Our Lady of the Massacre: I really hope you're trying (unsuccessfully) to be funny, and I'm not sure what planet you live on, but I live in Northern California and gang rape is not acceptable to us. #richmondgangrape

@KLondike5: Orphanages are so not the solution. Teenagers running away from foster care are running away from group homes and institutions. Not all foster families are terrible, despite popular perception.

This article was absolutely heart-breaking. And again, an argument for single-payer health care (the girl whose father had a triple bypass, the medical bills stacked up and they lost their house).

@BetteD: That's not embarrassing. My caving in and buying US Weekly is embarrassing. O has well-written articles, and I feel like it's the only integrated magazine around. #maghag

"There is no mainstream American women's magazine that features un-Photoshopped models of all shapes and sizes."

@CissyPants: That's total bullshit. Get a new gyno. The newer IUDs can go in women who haven't had a baby, no problem.

@utensil42: And his line about "any middle school civics student" was also great.

@FIMB: Now THAT is all sorts of awesome.

@gaudette: I see your point that it is in the interest of the little girl to be closer to her father and develop a more meaningful relationship with him.

@Triana Orpheus: President McCain?! Vice President Palin?! Bite thy tongue.

@TheGuvnah: My theory is that the Obamas have made it clear that they still expect the girls to do their chores, make their beds, set the table, etc.

@ides: I thought she was the younger sister. Now I must watch the movie again.

@BlondeGoddess: Get out of my head, woman! You took my answer. Since most of the wine-drinking girlfriends have popped out kids and now only want to talk to other moms about poop and nontoxic toys, I sit around for hours drinking wine with my gay boy friends and a couple of child-free female friends.

Of course I'll follow your stuff over at Air America, but I'll miss you on Crappy Hour. I especially enjoyed your great coverage during the election, and your insightful writing after your rape.

@Norma Neufner Lady Officer: Now I'm going to tell you something and I am not trying to scare you or freak you out. That said:

Yeaaa, Megan, so happy for you, despite selfishly missing you around here...I look forward to reading more of your stuff. And it's just cruel that you have been forced to listen to Rush.
