    "Poison", by definition, is something that causes the illness or death of a living thing. If we use the label of "poison" for the abortifacients used by Erin, then doesn't that presuppose that the fetus is a person? #abortiondrugs

    @Cairn: While I agree with you the dictionary definition of poison specifically deals with death, it seems like in this instance poison can be interpreted to mean any drug administered to a person without their consent that causes adverse health effects. If the choice to abort is actually about what a women does with her own body, if someone chooses to abort for her without her knowledge, we're still talking about an adverse health effect on her own body i.e. poison.

    That being said, I'm not sure everybody using the word poison is using that logic. #abortiondrugs

    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.
