While listening to an interview between Michele Norris on NPR and Bart Stupak, Democratic member of Congress from Michigan, I became outraged. Go figure. It’s so rare for me…
Anyway, I wrote about why I’m incensed over at The Women’s Colony. Check it out and see if you don’t agree. And if you wait long enough, [...]
I ran into the mother of one of Ruby’s little classmates yesterday when I was picking my girl up from school. We’d barely gotten past the daily niceties when she said, “Well, I got my pink slip today.”

In the midst of the increasingly toxic healthcare debate—if it can even be called a debate any more—I’ve spent quite a lot of time thinking about my own eventual demise. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am either going to A) suffer a massive stroke at an early-ish age, B) live to be old [...]
