If it weren't noted that the baby video is time-lapse, I'd have assumed that the mat on the floor was the baby equivalent of the kitty crack pad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I think that blog is recently made up and those women are playing it up, but of course there are women like that -- that's why the ones playing get press, because it seems so likely. But the women who are actually consoling each other like that aren't reaching out to the NYTimes.
Wow, Dakota Fanning looks great.

It's also quite typical of the NYT to make a "movement" out of the behavior of a small number of extremely privileged people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Look at what teh Gayz and teh atheists have made the Boy Scouts do! Scout councils defend logging of their lands
(01-29) 20:11 PST -- For nearly a century, the Boy Scouts of America have proudly described themselves as campside conservationists, good stewards of the land.
"The Boy Scouts were green before it was cool to be green," said national spokesman Deron Smith.
But in recent decades, local Boy Scout councils around the nation have ordered clear-cutting or other high-impact logging on tens of thousands of acres of forestland they own, often in a quest for a different kind of green: cash.
A Hearst Newspapers investigation has found dozens of cases in which the scouts ordered the logging of prime woodlands or sold them to big timber interests and developers, turning quick money instead of seeking ways to save the trees.
...
In some cases, councils have sought revenues from logging or land sales to make up for funding lost because of the organization's controversial bans on gays and atheists.
"The Boy Scouts had to suffer the consequences for sticking by their moral values," said Eugene Grant, president of the Portland, Ore., Cascade Pacific Council's board of directors. "There's no question" that the Scouts' anti-gay, anti-atheist stance has cost the organization money, he said. As a result, he said, "every council has looked at ways to generate funds ... and logging is one of them."
Oh well.
