Interesting op-ed piece about misogyny in America from the NYT: [link]
I love Bob Herbert- so much so I nearly called him Bob Hebert, who I also love but for something completely different.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You think Lois from Malcolm in the Middle is hardcore?

So Dev was looking particularly puffy and I was worried she was getting sick again.
Um, it was 58 inside. I accidentally turned the heat down way low when I left this am. She's puffy because it is freaking chilly inside. No wonder my hands hurt.

So the roomba is really an instrument in the cats' world domination plan?
I see their "ooh ooh I'm so scared" act is taking some of you in? Sneaky bastards. (Cats can't read right?)

oh, I forgot - it snowed here for 3 hours! Real fluffy snow that didn't stick on the streets! I forgot how this went up north. It's supposed to snow three times this week.
I think it snowed twice last year in Baltimore - once a lot, and the city didn't plow, so Fells Point was talking about secession and blockading the harbor - but we're like that. Up here, there's a lot more snow and resignation.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
