The detail about the back of the head wasn't in the Detroit News article (I read it 3x but only found it in the comments). I did, however, find it from CBS: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_16…. Just to clarify in case anyone else has the same question I did.

Awesome! And congrats!

Not just you. My great-grandmother had an awesome name - it fits the classic vibe that's been going around, it's relatively easy to spell/pronounce, but it's not on anyone's radar (yet). I am praying to the Naming Gods that it stays obscure for the next ten years, since I'm not anywhere near ready to pop out a baby. I

I showed up late to this party, but I'm curious - what did you go with?!

The logic of these pro-lifers always astounds me. "We don't support birth control because having sex is wrong and people just shouldn't do it." Okay, then let's not have an army or a CIA either, because bombing people is wrong and terrorists just shouldn't do it. Surely we'll be fine!

Amen. I had my wallet and cell phone stolen from my bag at a bar once. I called the police to ask if they'd come over. The guy on the phone basically said, "Well, we wouldn't be able to force anyone to empty their pockets, so yeah, they're probably still at the bar with you, but no, we're not sending a car over. We

For that question mark, think of it as "boys will be boys," but jokes on that theme for ladies: "women will be women." Still weird, but OMG can we talk about "Women have extra rib" please? Maybe that's the thing that feels like it's stabbing me in the heart when I read these search results...

I didn't read "accidental" in your post either, for what it's worth. I basically had the same read of you that BlackIvyG did, and I'm trying to argue with that view. You said a couple of times in this thread that rapists just didn't realize their behavior was wrong — or at least you said things that I interpreted that

Yep. I was all, "I know you wrote that to make me feel feelings, and damn you, it's working!"

If you read the blog that was linked in IStarbirdBlack's comment, you'll see that the questions make it quite clear that what they're doing is rape. The questions basically ask, "Have you ever forced an adult to have sexual intercourse with you against their will," with examples of force including twisting someone's

It's slightly more complicated than that. Here's a summary:

I hope you are into absolutely depraved BDSM that involves dressing people up as clowns and spanking them until they cry for mommy, because that's all these jackasses deserve.

Yeah but those 8% are concentrated in the districts that elected these crackpots, so to them it seems way higher. Also, they're just fucking nuts and are probably happy to believe that they are morally superior to 92% of the population.

Can you guys just send us the surplus of your free and plentiful pills? We'll pay the postage. Everyone wins.

DING DING DING DING DING! Brilliant. Add to that: Unless you make your employees, male and female, sign a conscience clause promising not to use their salaries to buy condoms, you have NO STANDING to complain about women using birth control.

Ugh, the linked article spends so much time on what they're wearing, it's disgusting. Especially this summary of the nameless young journalist:

Have you read Guns, Germs, and Steel? My favorite part of that was when he paused to talk about abortifacients and how astute prehistoric groups were about different methods of family planning. He basically boiled it down to, "No one wants to cross the Bering Strait with a baby on her hip and a bun in the oven."

Salon found it. It says "A Womans Place is in the House...and the Senate and the Oval Office." It doesn't have an apostrophe because the people who made it are idiots.

Salon covered it. Weirdly they appear to be by the same company that made the KFC pins, but aimed at Dems. Apparently they say something like "A Womans [sic] Place is in the House...and the Senate and the Oval Office."

Nopenopenope. I like to think I'm clever, but whenever I'm watching a horror movie I always tell people to run when shit starts to get weird. Least I can do is take my own advice.
