TBogg: Dennis Prager, Call 1-900-HOT-LESBO Ginmar: Statistics, Damned Statistics Deborah Hellman: It’s Not The Thought That Counts When we pose the question of what Equal Protection requires in terms of justifying our answer to the people affected by the laws or policies at issue, we see that from their perspective it makes sense to be [...]

I checked on Ethan last night as I was going to bed and noticed his bedroom door was covered with two dozen yellow sticky notes. I crouched down to look at them and look at what I found: If you have a hard time reading this, it says “Tchaikovsky Music.” The ultimate bonus is the [...]

Something out there is pissed. Should there be a god, this is my kind.

This one speaks for itself, or will have to because I can’t come up with anything remotely un-profane to say about it: Imagine two rape victims taken to the same hospital emergency room. Imagine them put in adjoining examination rooms. Let’s say they have identical injuries. Presume everything about them is the same except for [...]

If you think it’s unusual that I would be blogging about daylight davings time long after the time change, it isn’t. I’m from Indiana, one of the last states to hold out against DST despite an internal debate lasting over thirty years. This has become an incredibly partisan issue in my state politics — Indiana [...]

I’m glad I opted for college: Love is likely to thank for Paris’ newly angelic demeanor. She was joined at the W Hotel after-party by her new beau, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis. “He’s definitely the one,” she said, explaining that Paris Un et Paris Deux met way back in 1997 in a Hilton-owned Monaco [...]

You know the deal. If it’s Friday somewhere, it’s time for the Friday Random Ten. Load up all your mp3s, set to random play, and list the first ten to grace your precious ears. It looks like Winamp is into some ass-kickin’ rock this evening. 1) Motorhead – Hellraiser 2) Modest Mouse – Bukowski (how [...]

I finished my projects last night and sat down in front of the tube, but I was too wired to sit there. And so I ended up doing an amazing array of things until 5:30 in the morning. Luckily my first class was cancelled, so I was able to get a nice three hour nap [...]

Dr. B. has radical reasons behind her knitting: Doctors say Kenya’s strict abortion laws have forced thousands of women and girls to the backstreets where charlatans use all manner of sharp instruments — metal wires, knitting needles, forceps — to penetrate the womb and kill the foetus. I know that this is absolutely insane. It’s [...]

Now with pictures that have only tertiary reasons for appearing with this post. The good news (for me): I’m nearly done with my Shakespeare paper. And surprisingly, it doesn’t suck. The topic is homosociality and eroticism in the sonnets, a topic entirely overdone but interesting nonetheless. The bad news (for me): I still have to [...]

Crap, crap, crap. Lots of writing and printing to do today and I have not only run out of paper, but ink as well. Crap! The last thing I want to do is go to the store. Let this week be over.
