Weird part is that the goats like it.

Private criminal defense lawyers are often pretty cynical. Public defenders are often true believers. It’s a job. I’m in civil practice as well, but defending civil rights cases—if there were a better living to be made in criminal defense I’d probably do it though, it’s super interesting, you meet serious characters,…

I agree with you wholeheartedly. There is a difference between zealous advocacy and becoming a p.r. flack as part of your advocacy. Further, in cases in which I represent god awful clients, I figure that even if I do everything right, most of the time the outcome will be the right one.

I’ve always been stuck in the grey on Jezebel and its sub blogs, as long as I’ve used this burner or ones with the same name. Same way that there are followed Jez commenters who are grey on Gawker.

We all know the names of OJ Simpson’s defense team 20 years later, regardless of what we actually think about OJ Simpson. Though generally speaking, its tough to find people these days that think he was totally whole cloth innocent of what he was accused of doing to his ex-wife and Ron Goldman.

Here’s hoping she at least does good pro-bono work

I had to turn off CNN yesterday morning because the defense attorney for Michael Jackson was on basically trying to slander Constand with examples of how he “took down” the testimony of others accusing Jackson of child molestation. He was far from objective and put all his chips on Cosby being innocent. The poor…

The band was founded by Tracii Guns and Axl Rose. I know this because I’m an old.

Yeah, that wasn’t menopause, then.

I’m so excited that I have an excuse to share this fact: I was 37; I had intercourse just once, 3 months after stopping the pill, and that impregnated me! Not quite the same as Gwennie, but still anecdotally significant!

Satan always finds a way.

I believe the conventional wisdom is that your fertility begins to decline at 35, and that decline becomes precipitous in your 40s. But I could be wrong; I haven't googled it.

Damn. I found that report too but was too overwhelmed by all the words/numbers/charts/graphs to try to interpret it. So kudos to you for being more tenacious than me.

I agree. For some reason, people here are interpreting your statement that there is a "small chance" with "no chance" and feel the need to disagree, however civilly they are doing it. I don't get that, but whatever.

She didn’t say it cannot happen. She said there was a small chance. Clearly your mom fell in that category. And it’s also the reason why doctors recommend that even women in perimenopause, including those who are not getting their periods every month, still use birth control. Because it can happen.

Yes.

Unless it’s tummy, in which case just eat the crackers.

I’d agree it’s absolutely unlikely but not as much for biological reasons as it would be VERY unusual to have two public persons both going through very public splits with two other public persons, with kids already in the picture, who work together on a very popular tv show, plus all adult parties involved having…
