'lesbian.com' is in no way offensive to someone who's not a bigot. 'asking to be victimized'? really?? you win the idiot of the day award.

I think the real experience is really what it's like when they're not in actual jail. I live in Lake County and it really is segregated. If he wants to know what it's like to be his inmates the closest he'll get is living on the average wage and in the average apt, etc.

My roommate used to store things in the oven and it drove me crazy..no matter how many times I realized my mistake I never learned. Fortunately it was mostly stuff that didn't burn too easily (like plates with flour for his rotis).

Someone's getting fired! D-bag. Working in a federal building..didn't he get the 'do not do these things or else we'll be hit with an expensive lawsuit' training?

@ labombard: it's an odd death and also a reminder. take a breath.

Slippery slope indeed. Want to smoke? Want to not use your free time for an exercise program? Want to have a large family? Want to not brush your teeth? Want to wear high heels? Want to have unprotected sex? Go ahead, pay the toll first.

She was born without ovaries so the egg couldn't have been her daughter's, right? I skimmed the article but found no explanation of the contradictory paragraph.

Her body incarcerated her long ago.

There was a book I found a long time ago that had interviews with people who went under the worst pains in the world..they described what it all felt like (fire ants, drowning, shark attack, etc) and I've been looking for it ever since. So fascinating.

All assholes but when your govt and your people in power are setting the example of how to make it in this world..people like Helmsley get a little sympathy for choosing to get theirs too. And the good people usually just work/vote for them.

Sensible until the charges..then it's Big Obnoxious Brother. Some people just can't lose weight through simple programs. Hopefully the screenings and health programs are going to be hands-on and unique enough to actually help each individual so the charges aren't necessary. But I know if I were charged with obesity (doesn't that just sound awful?) I'd go ahead and sue my employer because I know my body has been 'obese' since the 3rd grade despite my athletic lifestyle and small eating.

Weird 'problem' to tackle: 'our women are so too nice to look at'. But it's the Catholic Church..I don't expect them to do much else with their women coughletthembepriestscough.

Pretty funny because all of us have sat for portraits..and they all were cheesy. Admit it and you can laugh.

I wish she included her salary with it as well. Any guesses?

@ jIM..hey tons of people supported McCain when he wasn't such a douchebag..he paired up with Feingold..probably the most decent Dem in power right now..for campaign finance reform. He seemed completely different then. But yes, Biden is another old white man who's real effing lucky Obama is overlooking so much.
