Young, Single, Uncertain Mom-to-Be

Illustration by Barry FallsAdviceA few months ago, I posted an email from a young woman named Emmie who was 23 years old, single, about to enter a competitive graduate school program, and unexpectedly pregnant. She was looking for advice — should she terminate the pregnancy, place the baby for adoption, or raise the child herself? More than 1,000 of you wrote first with advice and counsel; then, when she decided to have an abortion, hundreds more wrote expressing either sympathy or anger. Today

I need to take a moment to address this mental midget. Congressman Grayson: First, I'd like a third party to take a look at the paper you scooped up thinking that it was a GOP plan for health care reform. You argued that it was blank. I'd argue that you're probably illiterate and wouldn't know the difference. Second, your delivery is awful. George Carlin is dead, and he could have delivered your joke of a speech far better than you did. Third, if your interpretation of the Republic

Melrose Place : Baby Jane’s Acting Academy [Recaps]

Welcome to Melrose Place 101. On the syllabus, bad acting, random sex acts, barely logical plot points, bitchy scheming, and a pop quiz on crazy. Too bad this episode only managed to get a C-. So the big event is that Baby Jane Andrews is back, with longer hair and a worse attitude. Now, the big question is, was Josie Bissett always a really horrible actress, but we were too young and naive to notice, or have her acting muscles atrophied to the point where she is almost an embarrassment to
