An awful lot of his examples are ones that should never ever come up in a mature relationship. Somebody who asks you "am I the greatest lover you've ever had" or "do you ever think about other people when we have sex" is deeply insecure or immature. You should never have to lie to someone about those questions because…

I believe there should be a licensing system for men to run without shirts. You should have to convince 2/3 of a jury of your peers that your torso is one everyone should see.

Ignoring all the moral issues tied up with using nuclear weapons, the last thing anyone should be doing with nuclear weapons is making them extremely portable, difficult to control, and easily stolen or captured.

The first thing that came to mind for me was the Fukushima reactor disaster and how difficult it was to figure out how to suit people up enough to respond to the event. The biological limitations for humans for how close they could get and how long they could stay there was a very real problem. I'm not sure that this…

She also just looks kind of squinty, like something was in her eye or they caught her at a bad moment. That could also be distorting her familiar features.

I suggested Jessica Williams on the Gawker article, though I think Sam Bee would kick ass too.

"I would hate to unduly upset anyone" = "I would be embarrassed to be called out on the terrible views that I once shared with a public official, hoping that he would enact policies in keeping with those terrible views"

Here's what DC law says (http://dccode.org/simple/section…):

In most states, assaults causing serious bodily injury qualify as aggravated assaults. The seriousness of an injury will vary greatly from case to case. Injuries threatening death will qualify as a serious injury, as will those which maim or disfigure the victim. Some states specify by statute particular injuries that…

That's just not true. In most jurisdictions (including Indiana), assault that causes serious bodily injury is some form of aggravated assault.

An assault causing "serious bodily injury" is a class C felony in Indiana. That would seem to describe this assault. The minimum sentence for a class C felony appears to be 2 years. The recommended sentence is 4 years. The maximum sentence is 8 years. I don't know why she got the sentence she did.

Untangling those deep-seated gender roles is such a profound problem, I don't know where to begin with them. So many of these issues are formulated at an unconscious level.

I am so frustrated by how many female attorneys that I know who end up being the office manager in small firms on top of all their legal work. They end up doing thankless shit that is often essential to the firm, for which they get little credit or recompense. Sometimes it's pedestrian stuff like starting the…

A Mississippi girl impregnated by her father definitely sounds like she lives in the kind of home where a free and reasonable discussion about abortion could be had and where parental decisions about her life are definitely not abusive or neglectful.

The last major naval battle the US was engaged in was at Okinawa in 1945. We just don't go toe-to-toe with other major naval powers anymore.

Actually, I never said that at all. Please point me to where I said "mommy porn should be on the Today Show" or any words to that effect.

With a flat on the driver's side, you might also want to consider turning your car around so that the worked-on tire is facing away from the roadway. Probably not viable on a major urban freeway, but if you're on a rural highway with a cramped shoulder, a three-point turn (or pulling to the opposite shoulder) could be…

Yes, agreed. You should carefully hand-tighten the nuts and torque them briefly with the wrench to tightness.

Let's recapitulate three comments.

How is it the wrong audience? Today Show viewers are exactly the target audience for the books.
