You can get it in the hospital after you deliver — I did. It helps to know that! :)

They even legalized this in UTAH!

I agree to a point, but I think one problem is that a lot of the Right's rhetoric is based on demonstrably false factual assertions (ie lies) that their base believes. Death panels, immigrants stealing healthcare, the government taking away your guns, trickle-down economics, people paying "zero taxes," etc, etc. …

You realize, though, that CCSS does not mandate any anything with respect to homework or testing, nor does it require any specific pedagogical approach or manner of teaching or evaluation. It's simply a set of very general standards setting forth what children should know in each grade. How the school/ district…

As I read it, she's not talking about looks here, she's talking about aging in general.

THANK YOU for posting that! She looks stunning in the unretouched photo. I feel like a big negative nellie for saying this but that cover shot is bothering me. I'm 40 and I have more wrinkles than that. It's like they are "celebrating" age by saying "it's fine to BE old, as long as you don't LOOK old."

The Raw Story article you quote here is completely inaccurate and misleading. I don't think the author even read the decision. The Eighth Circuit court of appeals said absolutely nothing about lactating men, they affirmed the dismissal of the case on a completely different basis - holding that the plaintiff could not…

I've been on the wait list for this for months. Sob.

I was laughing so hard and then I realized all those links were to people actually fucking saying this shit and now I am crying.

You should buy this book. My German-speaking husband loves it.

My husband said the same thing about her the other night while we were watching the show. I couldn't resist retorting:"what, don't I look hotter than I did when X-Files was on?" (I decidedly do not.) Poor guy. I let him off the hook fast.

I'm done with babies (mine are 2 and 7) but that was AMAZING. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know the precise nature of the law but I believe that is correct. The woman seeking an abortion (or a mother trying to maintain custody of her outside-the-uterus-child) is not entitled to an attorney paid for by the state. Just the fetus.

TOTALLY depends on the private lawyer, so hard to say because there is an enormous range. And also on the PD's office. Some of the best PDs (in particular those in the Federal system) are probably equivalent to the best private defense lawyers, but they are also likely more overworked. And some private (paid)…

The Alabama PD does not serve most of the state, however. Most counties rely on an appointment system which has been criticized as pathetically ineffective. http://www.eji.org/files/crisisof…

It's true that the article is somewhat misleading. You are correct that there is a constitutional right to counsel in most criminal proceedings. That said, there are many proceedings that can have a serious adverse effect on people's lives in which indigent people cannot get representation, including custody…

Actually, that's a common stereotype that is for the most part undeserved. While it's true that they are overworked and underpaid, (and of course there are bad people in every profession), *salaried* public defender positions are actually quite sought-after and competitive and thus attract good attorneys. You'd be…

Alabama, like many states, uses a system of appointed counsel, who are lawyers in private practive who are appointed by and paid by the state by the hour, rather than maintain an office of salaried public defenders. Studies have shown that the representation provided by the former is far inferior to that provided by…

I'm in a similar situation, so similar it sounds like you live in my town. I don't think my son is upset that I'm not home after school (he loves his afterschool program and most of hsi friends are in it with him) but he definitely notices, even at 7, that other people have bigger houses and more "stuff." It's a…

I have two kids, 7 and 2, who have been in daycare (and then school) since infancy. I feel zero guilt. My boys LOVED their daycare — wonderful loving teachers, a safe room full of toys and friends to play with, activities all day, what's not to love?— at times, they clearly loved it more than being home with us on…
