@cocobanal: Sparkly babies!

@snobographer: Yeah, lots of pols and pundits say what they want to say rather than answering what they've been asked. Palin's true talent, though, is to then complain that she's been attacked and garner more attention for that than for her egregious lack of knowledge.

@leesie: I hope you didn't take me the wrong way—I love living in the South and, even as a Northerner, get really, really tired of people putting the South down.

@ketamineKitty: Considering that the Northeast is shrinking and the Southeast is growing, I guess there are lots of insane people. I love being a Northerner in the South. There are lots of people just like me here and, when I was single, could afford to live by myself in a house I owned. And don't get me started on…

Channeling my inner Freddie Mercury to say, "Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me."

One way is to actually press her on the issues she's still so shaky on.

@lauraholtsteele: That's how I saw it too. I might disagree with her personal beliefs but it didn't sound to me as though she was proselytizing.

Since when does Roman Polanski care about the welfare of children?

Anti-choicers are employing the reality TV "It's all in the editing" defense?

Judge Wilbert, have you heard the term "slippery slope?" What a terrible precedent to even consider setting.

@bluebears: Right? How's this going to scare girls into keeping their legs closed? 'Cause you know her PR firm will be targeting the ladies to remain abstinent.

@thewitchandthemoll: Was just going to write the same thing. It's very telling, poor girl.

Well, that's a good way to ensure that your tourism industry takes a hit—penalize people for having sex in the most materialistic, showy place imaginable. Because no one likes to have sex when they're relaxed and living large, right?

And death is not an option?

I can overlook 1 and 2 but 3? 3 is just wrong.

@Lizabelle: And, just because I do all the right things doesn't mean that some offspring 6 generations from now won't fuck up all my abstinence. So maybe all I can do is try to be healthy for me? Now?

You know what's sad? I was relieved to see children were robbing a bank and not raping another youngster.

@MissBuckyC: I just always figured they were trying to make our $12 ticket price seem worth it, even if it really wasn't.

@MizzTitian: I love that book. There's a passage in Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married in which Lucy describes her own crippling depression and how she wept copiously when she saw a mitten who'd lost its mate. The poignancy of that passage struck a chord with me as I was coming out of my own depression at the time. …

Ah, drunken earnestness.
