Not entirely apropos, but I miss Molly Ivins.

I think it just means that he has to nod. Or possibly point.

Irony alert: I've read the series about half-a-dozen times over the years, and I never remember what happened. Which is kind of nice, since I can still be surprised, but it's not the norm for me.

There's her appearance on Law & Order as the woman with horrible fashion whose husband was murdered after she locked in a dog crate for the weekend. *I* thank her for that performance.

Scarlet Johansson is only 5'2" or 5'3", so Black Widow is already in heels.

I don't need proof. I'm quoting Rep. David McKinley (R-WV), who authored the amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. Third paragraph from the bottom of the article.

I believe the implication is not that her work is too literary, but that her work is insufficiently "techie" for some science fiction readers.

I was all kinds of psyched when they made a movie of The Shadow in 1994 with Alec Baldwin and Penelope Ann Miller. It looked great. Unfortunately, it was very stupid. So I'd like to see them try again.

I went from hope watching to hate watching to habit watching. I don't think I have it in me to love it. Partly because I'm not really into soap operas, and partly because I really hold a grudge.

On the one hand, I'm pleased that someone named "Marilinda Garcia" has a chance of being elected in New Hampshire, which is not exactly known for its racial diversity. On the other hand, she's a Tea Party Republican, so ew.

So the "climate is obviously changing" but dealing with those changes is "political ideology."

The Democrat who scolded Smith is also from Texas. So there's that.

So far it's one health care worker out of how many who treated him? If ebola were easy to catch, everyone would be doing it.

The two Nashua stores and one in Burlington have consistently provided me with a fairly substantial sandwich whenever I've ordered one, so I don't have any complaints about their portion sizes. They are expensive, though.

There have been six cases of ebola patients in the US. All were infected in Africa. Five were diagnosed there and treated in the US. Of those, three have already been released from the hospital. The Dallas patient was diagnosed on Sept. 30 but was symptomatic a few days earlier. The incubation period for ebola is…

I think she had plenty of disgust to go around, but she's not in a position to dictate what we see.

My nephew and niece had me read this every night when I was visiting. I tended to see the climbing-the-ladder section as comic rather than creepy.

Is the article about rape prevention? The advice would seem to apply equally well to any person-on-person crime, such as mugging, and would seem to apply equally to both sexes. Being aware of your surroundings is generally considered a good idea.

"we should probably view this as tacit approval from SCOTUS that the federal courts have the right of this" — Probably? You know, perhaps y'all should find some people with lawyer-type backgrounds to add some legal perspective on legal opinions. (No, I'm not a lawyer, or anywhere in that field.)

My company sent mail a while back urging employees to register and providing a link with registration info. No mention of how to vote or any issues, just registration.
