@HuckleberryFriend: Too late. #balloonboy

While I think it is fine for them to speak out about this kind of stuff, they have to be careful because they risk turning into feminist "ambulance chasers." Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have both lost a great deal of their credibility because they are perceived to go where the publicity is. Gloria Allred is the…

Based on that picture of Career Choices for Girls According to Video Games, I choose to be Tinkerbell. #gardasil

@mommy_dearest: Although I know it wasn't meant to be disrespectful. #aislingsymes

@KLondike5: The title seems just a little too clever for such a sad event. #aislingsymes

@erinna: I think that she is aware of the fact that she is presenting herself in a professional capacity while using Twitter. But I have a feeling that being flirty and cute are part of that professional persona, so it fits with the image she tries to project. I think her professional image is "fun, flirty,…

The same is true with the recent spate of older models. Yes, they have grey hair, but they are gorgeous, skinny, with smooth perfect skin. The only difference is the color of their hair. #selfesteemandmodels

screwing up the comments. dang it.

@Evie Havok: I took it to mean that Bravo doesn't have the kind of veiwership that Telemundo has, that Bravo is kind of small potatos. Sort of like when Jon Stewart jokes that he has no audience since he is on basic cable. I could be wrong, too.

@mommy_dearest: One more thing. There is NO VOTE at all if it doesn't get out of all the committees it has to go through. Snowe's vote got it out of the last committee.

@HidingInCanada: You only have a 60 vote majority when EVERY democrat votes with you. And they haven't said they will. It isn't a given that it will even pass now.

@BlondeGoddess: Suri gets plenty of negative attention for her parents choices. Her clothes and shoes are critiqued, whether her hair is brushed has been noted, letting her wear make up, all that. Being a celebrity parent has got to suck.

@JilliefromChile: You are right. I always feel a bit guilty about the fact that I didn't like meat in the first place, so it was not really an exercise in will power.

@karmasutra: How old are you now? I became a veg when I was in 7th grade, too, and I still am now, 22 years later. Surprisingly, no one tried to convert me when I was younger, but lots of people try now that I am in my 30s and there is absolutely no chance of me going back.

@blue_streak: That's because you obviously decided to become a veg as a way to insult them. That is why I did it, according to my in-laws.

@Our Lady of the Massacre: But we pro-choicers feel we are as much freedom fighters as they are.

@BB: That sounds really interesting! Off to the library...

For most activists in every category, including myself if I am honest, that "being against" part is very important, although hard to admit. Of course, activists believe in what they are saying, but that feeling of being on a team that is getting attacked creates this huge bonding experience that makes it worth coming…

Thank God Karl had the courage to speak the truth. Fat mothers will ruin EVERYTHING if we let them.

@classicfantastic: I'm not saying it would be a good costume, but I haven't heard anyone deny it, either. I'm just raising the question- with sexy fake tears.
