I've seen both movies, and there was not nearly enough Josh Holloway in Ghost Protocol. I was sorely disappointed. (Well, the movie was fun enough. I just thought there would be considerably more Sawyer.) And yet there is an enormous amount of crankypants Craig in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Things even out.
Agreed. From the linked article, it doesn't sound like her miscarriage or whatever it was was medically induced at all. She got very sick. She took some antibiotics. Labor started. She specifically refused medicine to accelerate the labor. It sounds like early delivery or a late miscarriage brought on by her illness. I'm by no means a fan of the Santorums, but I do think this write-up is considerably different from what the source material links to. And as for the allegations that they had an abortion and have been lying about, well, that's just speculation. I don't like it when right-wingers do it to Dr. X about supposedly botched abortions and I don't like it when the good side does to the right wingers.
I think my coworker was a classmate of yours; he's told me this same story!
Rock-a-doodle: Available on instant watch on Netflix. Trufax. It's taken all of my willpower not to re-watch it yet, because I don't think my husband understands.
I live in Alabama, too. Everywhere has its mix of uneducated assholes and educated assholes. This particular study and headline seem designed to inflame rather than inform, as it seems quite skewed.
This guy must be some sort of contortionist with the amount of stretching that is going on here. Abortion is a medical procedure, not a consumer item. My mind is blown. Busybody is a good word for Congressional hearings now? Fuck. Congress, why are you restricting my choices to hire people to kill my neighbors? You're ruining the hitperson economy!
I guess I understand you Team Pie folks a little better now.
My aunt and uncle had a chihuahua puppy stolen from their home (along with a number of others items) one during one of the only robbery sprees I know of in the history of my small to medium sized town. There was little hope, and then the police were called to a home on a domestic violence call, where they spotted a small puppy who matched the description of my puppy cousin. The police did some actual police work, and sure enough, the husband was part of group of petty thieves who'd been stealing things. Not everything was found, but a number of people got some of the items back, and my puppy cousin was on the front page of the local paper for helping nab the guys.

All of this is just to say that this crazy dog person and her family are sending happy, hopeful thoughts their way. It's easy to lose sight of the possibility of happy endings when so much seems lost, but I'd like to send a little hope this year.

(Instead of just saying, "I hate people", which was my gut reaction. Because really, what kind of person does this?)
I don't have a dog because I want something fuzzy that does what I want when I want. I have (two) dogs to roll around in the floor with me, help me eat my food (yeah, I said it), snuggle with me at night, and do crazy things to make me smile on a daily basis. If I laugh instead of scold my dogs when they steal my underwear or shred paper towels that I leave on the coffee table, that's not bad dog parenting, it is SHEER JOY.
@Ima B. Me: I love the stuff, but perhaps only because I misread the directions I had. It called for 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and I added 2 tablespoons. The results are legendary to this day. We usually bake it in a muffin tin these days and sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar mix on top, which means there are delicious crunchy bits in every bite.
Beautifully tailored coats and jackets? Lots of metal? When did Seth Aaron get a job with Burberry?

(I jest, I jest!)
@Bethanylcm: Your bit about the pets is spot on. They're part of my family because of the huge impact they have on my life. Just because I see them as part of my family doesn't mean I think they're more important than people. I can leave my dogs in the house while I go to work; if I had a child, I absolutely would not. Thinking of pets as family doesn't equate to thinking of them as people. That said, the numbers on this study are incredibly depressing. Headdesk worthy, even.
@kentuckienne: I don't think a stranger on the internet has ever so accurately expressed my thoughts. I'd never even heard the term resort wear until I started watching Project Runway this year (I am obviously up to date on everything fashion), and that's EXACTLY what I thought with this. "Uncle Owen, this would be PERFECT for Beru!"
Wow. Some of this is so fierce! (Or maybe it's just far better than I expected from what I've seen so far this season.) Mondo's stuff here is adorable, and Kristen Stewart needs the dress in #7.
My 70 year old grandma would never wear something off the shoulder like that, though this 24 year old would. Whoops.
Girl is fierce, and I heard far worse songs on the local pop station on the way home from work today. The chorus gets to be a bit much, but I think it's kinda catchy. Definitely no worse than um-bru-ella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh. I'm for her.
"Elizabeth (Liz) Imbrie: I remember your honeymoon quite well. You and she on a little sail boat, the "True Love", wasn't it?
C. K. Dexter Haven: Yes it was. How did you know?
Elizabeth (Liz) Imbrie: I was the only photographer whose camera you didn't smash. You were terribly nice about it. You threw it in the ocean.
Macaulay Connor: Oh, one of those.
C. K. Dexter Haven: Yes I had the strange notion that our honeymoon was our own. "

This is from The Philadelphia Story, a movie that was made SEVENTY years ago. Instead of resolving this problem, it has only gotten worse, and I feel like, at least in mainstream media, stars are vilified when they do lash out at the paparazzi. I think I would snap and be one of the camera smashers, or, if they touched my kid or even my dogs, I would be one of the hitters. I would probably slap their hands away, and it would be so hard for me to resist more violent measures, like slamming the plastic part of a retractable dog leash into their nose if they got too close or kept using that freaking flash. The current system we have puts stars and (at least if I were famous and as long as Sean Penn is around) the photographers in harm's way, and it isn't doing anyone but a few magazine editors any good. I'll be the first to admit I'm guilty of looking as paparazzi photos, but I don't like and I do try not to. But when someone sticks a photo of a cute kid and pretty person in my face, sometimes I can't help but click and get all 'aww-y'. Then feel bad about it a few hours later. Something needed to be done, and hopefully the new CA law will help some.
@girlinthegarden: I may or may not have bought maternity clothes before. And I have never been pregnant. But hello? Not all winter coats are designed with these hips in mind, and I like the extra room. I don't see where that's a problem.
@cool_as_KimDeal: Sounds like a movie that should star Allison Janney.
