the other issue that no one is talking about is that the trend toward holding outpatient general anesthesia surgery for a wide array of medical issues is a really terrible idea, and almost always involves placing economics above patient health.

what are the cops supposed to do? Show up and, if there's no obvious sign of prostitution, go away.

"Mom? . . . Mom? . . . . . . Mommy?"

Who gives a fuck? If you believe the Craigslist Rants and Raves section, President Obama is injecting us with AIDS and imposing Sharia law. Aren't there better things to write about than probably apocryphal stories on Craigslist then guessing what parts are true?

Not to detract from your serious and important point, but "A Full Ride at Vanderbilt" would be an outstanding porn title.

So, let me ask a related question: is there anything that would be appropriate/expected/appreciated for a fellow who might have the occasional lady guest to have on hand? An assorted box of tampons? Yoga pants and a plain t-shirt?

It doesn't matter where you are born if you have an American parent (and otherwise maintain your citizenship). That's why the hullabaloo about where President Obama was so dumb. Even if he'd been born to his…

He's just right on the cuteness curve.

Tim Gunn, above, says that trans women are not having their pelvises broken. It's in the main article.

Why do you need to answer that particular argument? I think "you can't hit strangers, ergo you can't hit your kid," is a terrible argument, for most of the reasons stated. The reason corporal punishment should be suspect is because it's destructive, doesn't aid in discipline, and is counterproductive.
