And you can't tell me they don't know anyone with a chronic condition, or anyone who got in a car accident, or got a workplace injury, or fell ill suddenly...
Or who use hormonal birth control, for fuck's sake.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Parents consider lawsuit after daughter loses valedictorian spot - latimes.com
And to Elisha’s mother, Carol, the second-place finish means that her daughter's "sleepless nights" were essentially “for nothing.”
"It's flawed. It's wrong," Carol told The Times. "All her hard work is not being recognized. All she had was straight A's. Not a B, ever."
It's a little more complicated than just being unhappy at second place, but still.
I possibly could have been valedictorian if I had not slacked off so much, but my not going out for sports probably would have resulted in me not being valedictorian. This is what happened to my brother.

is it OK to quote you on Facebook?
Yes, but only if you fix any typos.
What are you quoting, anyway?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Protecting my rights and forcing me to do something are two different things.
Hey, I agree with this part! I just don't think it's actually an argument so much as a non sequitor.

BC becomes a men's issue when you make them use a condom because you're not on the Pill, and they get super-cranky about it. Or at least that's my impression.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
What I want to quote, because it's so comprehensive:
: "If it's unconstitutional, then why did Republicans come up with the idea for an individual mandate back in the early '90s? Why did Republicans champion the idea from the '90s until '08? Why did Romney institute the same plan in Massachusetts? Why Republican voters choose Romney as their presidential candidate? Why didn't Republicans pass their own healthcare reform during the W Bush administration when they controlled both chambers of Congress and the Supreme Court."

Yes. Uteruses (uteri?) cannot be free, and neither can anyone who has one.

Cool.
Here it is with two corrections:
"If it's unconstitutional, then why did Republicans come up with the idea for an individual mandate back in the early '90s? Why did Republicans champion the idea from the '90s until '08? Why did Romney institute the same plan in Massachusetts? Why did Republican voters choose Romney as their presidential candidate?

Back at tommy's post re A letter to Sullivan, and Scalia referring to Ginsberg's dissent . . . she did dissent from the CJ's opinion w/r/t the commerce clause so this is not a mystery or a conspiracy (which I now see popping up - someone "got to" the CJ).
So nip that shit in the bud when it appears in your FB feed...
