'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Interesting to hear all the scar/injury stories. I don't have anything dramatic - mostly the dings from day to day living.
Although Hil's shock from alfredo sauce had potential - I was envisioning something involving a dish of electric eels, which led to her becoming vegan. This may be the first time my imagination's been more interesting than reality.
Glenn Beck begins Vermont Teddy Bear ad by trashing Mother's Day. Way to keep your advertisers happy, whackaloon.
Oops. And yet e-mail is in there! Wow.
That's because ninth grade wasn't that long ago.

The paradox is this: Cultural conservatives revel in condemning the loose moral values and louche lifestyles of "San Francisco liberals." But if you want to find two-parent families with stable marriages and coddled kids, your best bet is to bypass Sarah Palin country and go to Nancy Pelosi territory: the liberal, bicoastal, predominantly Democratic places that cultural conservatives love to hate.
...
Naomi Cahn and June Carbone -- family law professors at George Washington University and the University of Missouri (Kansas City), respectively -- suggest that the apparent paradox is no paradox at all. Rather, it is the natural consequence of a cultural divide that has opened wide over the past few decades and shows no sign of closing. To define the divide in a sentence: In red America, families form adults; in blue America, adults form families.
Hooray, Allyson!!!
Hee. Thanks. I'm so grateful that I'll be able to hold it in my hand. And JZ will be my editor, so I can't trash talk my editor here. heh.
