    The thought that someone might pay over a million dollars for Sarah Palin's scrawl makes me want to throw up. I wish I could buy it just to smash it to bits with a baseball bat, a la Office Space, but it would also make me throw up to give the money to anyone with a kind word to say about her.

    He was framed? Really? God, how many sexist myths are in there? The 'women lie' one, maybe the 'women are masochistic' one, too, plus a dash of 'a woman scorned.'

    They might have better luck with the gay marriage legislation if it just allowed it in the capital city, rather than the capitol building.

    @Ginmar Rienne: She wasn't actually hurt. So if she did do it to frame him, it is possible that she didn't actually ingest it or she took a small enough dose she knew it would be safe. Or perhaps she tried to induce a miscarriage, failed, and then after the fact tried to frame him. Or he could have done it. We don't know.

    You can own this 60GB, perfect-condition, one-of-a-kind item before her expected run for president of the United States of America in 2012.

    This reminds me unpleasantly of last week's Supernatural, in which Palin's presidency is contemporaneous with the end times. I at least want tenure before the world ends.

    Also, in D.C., I hope that history stays on its side and Congress decides not to block legislation. I also hope that maybe, miraculously, this means anti-gay rights morons will realize it's useless and STFU and go back home.

    A man reported that he'd seen a girl who looked like Dugard looking at a poster about her abduction at a gas station near Antioch, California and had left in a yellow van. Officers just checked the gas station and didn't find Dugard or the van.

    Yeah, gee, I wonder why she didn't just hang out in the van waiting for the cops to show up.

    I remember watching some tv show or lifetime type movie whereby someone was trying to make someone miscarriage by putting birth control pills in their tea/drinks. Does this actually work though IRL? Just curious!!

    @cuteasabutton: Depends on the stage of pregnancy. Hormonal contraceptives work by preventing ovulation and, if that fails, preventing implantation. They can interfere with the embryo's attachment to the uterine lining. If the embryo's already firmly anchored, there's less likelihood that they'll damage it.

    @cuteasabutton: Edited to correct: apparently, taking the pill while pregnant will not increase the risk of miscarriage, contrary to popular belief and the strong suggestion of the little teeny-print insert in my pill packet.
