We need to do everything possible to protect "preborn" girls. So that after birth we can make sure they are totally screwed.

I understand her flippant point, but have to say as someone with a lifetime eating disorder related in part to sexual abuse, it kind of made me wince. Nothing like implying that people with disorders related to sexual objectification aren't dealing with it.

While we're at it, how about raising your sons so that they are not taking "trouble" to other people's houses? If we could raise our sons differently, maybe Dad's wouldn't have to be worried about their daughters.

Honestly, I don't know what you will get from interrogations about her politics, the co-op, etc. and would stay away from that unless it comes up as informal chit chat. You can't keep her away from your daughter if she thinks the police should beat protestor's heads in. If you don't like her attitudes towards your…

You are a good friend. I know it's hard to let go of anger and guilt, but really, you did what you could while maintaining reasonable boundaries. Hope you got some sleep.

Thanks to Jezzies who gave advice about getting rid of clothes this morning. I've gone through a lot, but I don't think I can do anymore tonight. Even though it means sleeping on the sofa, it seems best to make second, more ruthless pass at the remaining clothes in the morning. Thank goodness for the long weekend!

One of those HG-race posts got a record number of unique page views, so brace yourself for 3 more years of it.

I agree. He seems to be a hard working and level-headed actor (as far as these things go), but Finnick, NO.

I have to say that the close-up of the otter's face didn't say "unbelievably adorable." More like, "What the fuck? will no one help?"

Well that would assume that anyone actually cared about justice . . . . we can only hope this asshole is an elected judge.

When I read the first story I thought maybe she was trying to hide the absence of the parents so as not to be separated by CPS (Obviously, I was assuming that, like me, everything she knows about CPS comes from TV). But once she was marked as a truant by the school system, it seems that CPS should have been…

It wasn't until I read your post that I remembered that his daughter has been in the courtroom with him. Way to dial that Ick knob to 11, Edwards.*

I'm sorry, someone who marries a woman 40 years younger and also claims that the other marriages didn't work out because the other wives didn't really love him is going to get some snark. If he had a little humility— learned something from each marriage, have been working on my relationship issues, etc— I'd agree…

It's so absurd that it's too easy to laugh off. I'm African-American and must admit my first thought was draw a cartoon of a black couple in Planned Parenthood asking for an abortion because they suspect their child will be black . . . "But. Dr., you don't understand how much the child will suffer."

Women should be able to decide what their bodies, their finances, their hearts and other circumstances can bear. I have nothing but respect and total admiration for women/couples who devote their lives to their Down's Syndrome child (and I know two couples who do). However, if a woman doesn't think she can deal…

Good point. I had thought about holding out on the beer, but that could lead to scratches ; )

What? Say more? I must confess I was distracted by the fact that Stone's "people" hired and evidently set the salary for the nanny.

Dlisted had the same reaction: " The article also mentions that Jim is 10 months away from turning 40. Now that's the real RED SIRENS GET CNN ON THIS news. Jim Parsons being gay is something we all learned in school, but Jim Parsons being almost 40 is the real shock. Jim Parsons looks like a come-to-a-life cartoon of…

Best thing about this comment is Romney just this month sloughed off his Foreign Policy spokesman for being gay—instead of for being a misogynist ass. So evidently his extensive business experience is serving him well already.

I need to retrain BF to do this. He's getting a little slack in the hugs department.
