This seemed really funny at 1am.
Snow White, the Bedbug, and the girl with the headpiece.
I went as an Indian princess? Or an Indian bride? Someone guessed “Bollywood Bride,” which probably wound have sounded better.
Mostly I just wanted to wear this headpiece.
The way I'm going to neglect Safran Foer's "Eating Animals"--even though I know that if I read it I'd probably be convinced about the horror of it all--just because I like, well, eating animals, makes me understand how every conservative must feel during every Michael Moore release.
Not sure which is worse: that I’m so acutely representing the kind of lazy passivity that I hate in others, or that my self-awareness is not enough to motivate me to do otherwise.
Civility in the modern world.
Being a Woman is Not a Pre-Existing Condition
My post and petition on one of the most appalling aspects of the pre-existing condition bullshit in the health insurance industry:
Health insurance companies take advantage of the American public simply because they can. Government needs to tell them to cease and desist with discriminatory practices like denying women coverage because of pregnancy, rape, domestic abuse or HIV medication .
The current effort to overhaul the healthcare industry must not neglect this institutionalized sexism, and you can help by calling on Congress to investigate these cases. Please contact your elected reps and ask them to consider these abuses and demand their redress as Congress continues to craft and debate new healthcare legislation for the American public.
What I learned last night: It’s not an inappropriate Seth Rogen comparison if he makes it first. (Especially if he basically wrote the book on it).

Subtle Sexuality by Mindy Kaling
“I’m an independent diva but I still kinda need ya” is the new [better] “if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it.”
Politico Finally Gets To The Bottom Of Listicles, With Listicle
Seems harmless but Jason Linkins points out why it’s also, um, gross.
Speaking of enduring cliches, did you know that there is a small cottage industry, dedicated to slobbering all over the powerful people in Washington, DC, who are good at forgiving each other for condoning torture but can’t get the health care reform package that vast majorities of Americans want, passed? It’s true!
