These child-cages are standard-issue on apartments in the Orthodox sections of Williamsburg. Except they aren't portable, they're welded on to each window for maximal child storage convenience.

Yeah, especially viewing Palin and Hillary through the lens of that last couple of paragraphs. Love love love Hillz but would she be balling this hard without Billz having broken trail, according to this? I gotta hyperventilate into a paper bag for a while now.

Can't we love the sinner, hate the sin? "I disagree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it?" Frankly I think Kathie Lee made her statement partly because she felt that many of the attacks on Mayer were unfair because they were holding her to a different standard than a male CEO would…

Sounds like a boss to me.

Anti-feminist =/= anti-women, hon. All of Mayer's parent employees (INCLUDING the single dads who are just as affected, btw) are equally free get a nanny or to quit and find a job that allows them to telecommute. They've already done it once.

It's just as much of a pain in the ass to the single dads out there too, ya know; and there's a difference between being 'anti-feminist' and being 'anti-women.' Call her an asshole- don't call her a bitch.

As it happens, Dr. Walker is ALSO the only female to EVER receive the congressional medal of honor. Which is frankly crap and will probably change now that women are able to serve in combat branches with the correct paper trails.

Back on my college team we had rules for how much lifting/cardio etc we had to do outside of practice. The rule was that we could use sex for the cardio, but it had to be for at least an hour. Sensible.

Laura, I don't know if you noticed but right alongside Halpern's show in the announcement from Fox was another new show, also based on a book which hasn't come out yet, also based on an internet phenomenon. It's called "To My Assistant," and it's written by Lydia Whitlock, who is awesome and hilarious and definitely…

First of all, regarding the female frame; while it is true that by and large women are weaker than men, there are plenty of women who are large and in charge. Some men aren't suited for combat either, and they don't make the cut in the training. But take a look at your local college women's varsity basketball team…

Let's try a thought experiment.

Whoah whoah; why are they considering any factor in these termination proceedings besides the yearly standardized test scores of her students? Everyone knows that that is the true measure of a teacher's ability.

Wow, maybe there IS a market after all for my invention that turns an Altoids tin into an OCD tool for storing and separating my oxygen molecules separately from my carbon dioxide molecules! I better get on the patent right now. No one's ever thought of using a box to put stuff in before.

Most non-Jewish readers can't read Hebrew, meg. Hell, a lot of Jewish readers can't either! Obviously any Romanization is going to be an approximation. How do you wish they had spelled it?

"According to what one of the elders said, taking an enemy on the battlefield is like a hawk taking a bird. Even though it enters into the midst of a thousand of them, it gives no attention to any other bird other than the one that it has first marked." - Hagakure

How to make middle school suck less? Easy. GET RID OF IT. Make elementary school run K-7, and high school run 8-12. The fundamental problem with middle school is that it's full of kids at the most awkward age who are placed at a school they will only attend for a couple of years, with a bunch of kids they will…

Do you really think an E-1 makes all that much money?

...unless the leg was lost in an insurgent car bombing, presumably?

Ok, I am. I bet they have a script for the 'I got my leg blown off,' conversation. Do you think it goes something like,

Probably the same reason ESPN covers the NFL and MLB instead of Pop Warner and Little League?
