Should that be 20 gauge?

Two friends of mine, recently married, promised to love each other in spite of her lack of cooking skill and his lack of frequent-flyer miles. She travels as a consultant and he works from home.

They got married April 1.

Alarming indeed, but wouldn't "nationalist, or separatist groups" include Timothy McVeigh and Eric Robert Rudolph and others of the militia movement?

Uhhh, No. The standard is to do viral testing of the cervix leading up to the time of the birth. If there is no outbreak and no asymptomatic shedding of the virus at the time of the birth, then a normal vaginal birth can be undertaken.

You do realize that an estimated 20-25% of the adult population in the U.S. has genital herpes, right? This is something that is dealt with often in OB. And while there *are* still questions of safety with Valtrex during pregnancy, there is a proven higher mortality rate with elective C-sections than vaginal births, and that has to be weighed against the risks of the drug.

J.R.R. Tolkien's son Christopher spent more than 30 years piecing together fragments his father left behind. Now readers can learn what happened 6,000 years before Bilbo Baggins sought the One Ring.

...since the Fix was the only source I used for celebrity news. Now I have to go someplace else to find it, which I'm not really going to bother with. I'm also completely uninterested in whatever you might be ramping up for Video dog because I read Salon from work and there are no speakers here. And frankly, online video pretty much sucks as a news medium.

So, good job decreasing the usefulness of this site. Why is it impossible to just find someone else to take over?

The hotdog stand is called the Weiner's Circle.

Just so people know that its a sophomoric pun instead of a circle jerk.

The operators of "Miss Bimbo" would like to thank you and all other members of the press kindly for the enormous increase in traffic (and revenue) we've enjoyed as a result of your coverage.

Please keep the links coming, we'd be nowhere without your outrage and support.

No, seriously. He's not a Texan, he just moved here.

...on a date. Coffee and/or beer with a lovely pink-haired lady I'm meeting for the first time.

When I suggested tonight, I totally forgot that this was election night. No biggie, returns will continue to happen without me.

Buckshot goes in shotguns, not rifles.

And shotguns make bigger holes anyway.
