Judge tells assault victim that this is what she gets for going to a bar
Last summer, then-DPS Officer Robb Gary Evans got drunk, drove to a bar, and sexually assaulted a woman there. July 2, he was convicted of felony sexual abuse. September 6, he was released with a slap on the wrist, and his victim was released with a good talking-to.

Because of the intense storm bearing down on the East Coast, I am stuck in San Francisco for an indefinite period of time — fingers crossed I’m back in NY on Wednesday, but unclear. Wah wah, stuck in an amazing city, I know. Very few complaints, but modding is going to be slow, since my internet access is not very consistent. Thanks for your patience! And stay safe, East Coasters.

My latest on Mourdock, Republicans and rape in the Guardian:

Donate for an Actual Cure
It’s October, it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the U.S. is awash in a sea of bubblegum pink. The most recognizable, of course, is that of Susan G.

The wonderful Chloe Angyal has a piece at Jezebel about what a civilian can say to a wounded soldier (answer: not a lot). I would recommend avoiding the comments, unless you want to read a ridiculous parody of liberalism-gone-heartless.

These days of course there are so many added venues for women to get together -– drinks after work, lunch, maybe a film, etc. My experience with such opportunities often, however, did not seem to me so different from my mother’s day. Often isolated, often individualized, often professionally segregated or age separated.

Thank God for Mitt Romney letting us know that the best, most qualified women come in binders. But he never answered the question that was really on everyone’s minds: Which binders? Well, it’s the immensely popular Avery Durable View Binder with 2 Inch EZ-Turn Ring (the white one). Customers are raving.
