I have two contenders:

Thank you for writing this. It is so important. It seems like nobody gets more scrutiny in their personal choices than the poor. We make people receiving public benefits fill out stacks of forms each year and immediately report-in writing and with documentation- any change in income or household size. Then we judge…

This is so funny. When I was a teenager back in the 90's I used to watch Jack Van Impe's evangelical "news" program where he laid out a version of this theory. He predicted that eventually we would all have personal barcodes tattooed on ourselves for convenience (like a built in credit card) and the antichrist's…

Now I can never have an Awesome Blossom again!

Bill O'Reilly could make good use of all that falafel you aren't eating.

How can people continue to pretend we are in a "post-racial" society? I really hope she has excellent lawyers and/or someone with political power who can reign in the prosecutors.

Yes. I love her so much. The new album is fantastic.

High heels are the worst! I pretty much only wear heels when I have to appear in court or go to some fancy meeting. I only recently am able to walk in them so I no longer have to carry them with me and change my shoes in the hallway. Also I recently learned from a very stylish colleague that mine are "low heels" so…

It's like dominos. Every judge who applies rational basis review to strike down a same-sex marriage ban makes it easier for the next judge to do the same, and hopefully they will all convince Justice Kennedy to eventually reach the same conclusion.

Yes! Roll-ups. My elderly aunt (in MN) very sweetly created a vegetarian version of this for me to eat at family events.

Yeah, I have been really appreciating all the talk on that subject for the same reason. My husband and I don't want kids. This shouldn't be a big deal in the SF Bay Area, but now that we are in our 30s and almost all the women I work with have children or are pregnant, I am feeling less comfortable talking about it. I…

As a Minnesota-native my guess is that her reaction was a little of both- knee-jerk avoidance of uncomfortable social situations and also deep insecurity about not being cool enough.

I LOL'ed at the "Orientalism" recommendation. So good!

Manny Santos had a completely routine abortion on Degrassi, and her life went on as usual (for Degrassi).

This is really bad. She could have missed the judge calling her case and then lost the hearing (or whatever it was). You can't rely on the bailiff to come out and get you. Court is serious business.

The way you keep capitalizing court makes me think you are taking a break from brief-writing to read Gawker.

Right. We are also over-represented in lower-paying legal services jobs. Arguably, these are more awesome jobs but that's just one woman's very biased opinion.

When I read the headline I thought that people would be bringing their own cats- like, rolling down the sidewalk with a cat stroller. Turns out that's not the case, and cat strollers are much more Berkeley anyway.

Yes, it's a thing. Microaggressions add up.

And the poor mummies can't go skinny dipping. It's just not fair.
