First of all, I'm still stuck on the fact that the LW actually gets paid for writing for the college paper and considers it a job. Any school paper I ever worked on was a strictly volunteer activity.

Overall I agree with Whocanitbenow, minus the not-so-nice tone. It's college and it (the "job") will end. I think the LW said the BF is older, so he'll be out of there before she will and the coast will be clear. In a real job you might have some issues, but on a college paper that is big enough to actually pay its writers I find it hard to believe those two are the only ones involved with a co-worker. Relax and have fun.

Amen! Amen!

We can't have a sports column. The right/left blog roundup I used to check everyday is long gone. War Room is not the must-read it used to be, and Broadsheet lives to find offense in almost everything. Plus Palin, Palin and more Palin. But you can feature sexiest men for days? Huh?

I cannot figure out the editorial direction of this magazine. If it wasn't for Greenwald, I don't know how much I'd come by anymore.

LW, you've got to talk to your husband because you have to decide how to raise your child in a way you both can live with.

The more time goes on the less I believe, but Catholicism is the culture I live in as much as it is my religion, and there is no escaping it. As the Church increasingly and openly moves toward the political right, I get more and more pissed off. But the kids are almost done Catholic school, we're through the childhood sacraments... it's kind of late in the game. And my husband does not seem to share my doubts. So I try to focus on what Christ represents: love others as yourself. My kids know I don't believe everything hook, line and sinker, and I emphasize that the Church is run by humans, and thus is imperfect. I try to create an atmosphere that will let them decide for themselves, without fear of reprisals from me. At least that is where I am at right now.

But you are at the beginning of this, and keeping your mouth shut for the next 20-plus years is probably not going to cut it. Talk to your husband and figure out how to live. Maybe your kids will be raised Catholic, but you won't go to church. Maybe he can let his family know, and you can go to church for weddings, funerals, Communions etc. and not make a big deal about it. Maybe it will be ugly for awhile, but everyone will eventually get used to it, especially if you can bring yourself to baptize the babies and get them communion. And then just be as honest with your kids as you can without belittling your husband and his beliefs. If the baby is so young, you and your husband have plenty of time to work it out before it becomes an issue for the child. Good luck.

"If we were serious, and we said 'yes, she should be forced to smell the glove,' then you'd have a point."

"And in between is the larger group, which is people who really want to see the right thing done, or want something good done for this country and them -- and that means, sometimes, the better choice is somebody who's not a Democrat"

And then there is the self serving jackass who sticks his finger in the air to determine which position will get him the most press/corporate money/whatever.

I think the LW should feel free to leave, but perhaps stay in town so that the child maintains a relationship with her father.

Plus, when it comes to the child, there is the little matter of the law. It is nice that Cary feels any decent man will do, but the father has legal rights that the mom can't ignore. Unless she wants to be flying the child cross country, she may have to stick where she is, but just find a place of her own. Then prepare to co-parent with this man for at least the next 16 years.

Liz Cheney is detestable because she defends torture and every other vile thing her father's administration foisted on this nation. She could be Dick Jr. and be just as bad.

The commercials for this movie make it look pretentious and dull. And the actor playing the kid is 12. I don't know of any 12 year old boy who runs aroiund in a wolf suit and tantrums. Try a six year old. The book is nearly perfect. I'll stick with that.
