I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It also bugs me with people confuse freedom of speech with freedom from criticism; only one of those is a right. I'm looking at you, Palin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a really good reason for that.

And freedom to have a national cable television show from which you can spew your free (if stupid) speech!

In my continuing trend of detailing every day why I adore high school kids that I am substitute teaching: I have an AP class right now, which is always great, and they are all working on packets on satire, and all of a sudden I note that one group is having an in-depth discussion of the lyrics to "Bad Romance" and "Poker Face".

Well it's only a matter of time before Fox loses a few contributers. At least half of the prospective Republican candidates for 2012 are under contract with them.

'My Son Is Gay' - Awesome Mom Defends 5-Year Old's Drag Daphne Halloween Costume (The One)

One brave mom caused a huge online controversy earlier this week when she posted a picture of her 5-year-old son dressed as Daphne from "Scooby-Doo" for Halloween, along with a rant defending his costume choice against other parents who bullied her about it at the preschool Halloween party. In the post, titled "My Son Is Gay" (first line: "Or he's not. I don't care. He's my son), she wrote:

If you think that me allowing my son to be a female character for Halloween is somehow going to 'make' him gay then you are an idiot. Firstly, what a ridiculous concept. Secondly, if my son is gay, OK. I will love him no less. Thirdly, I am not worried that your son will grow up to be an actual ninja so back off.

The picture is cool. Her post was controversial, yet no one has addressed the issue of "why didn't he dress as Velma?"

not your mom's socks.

Sox, re your gmail question - can I ask sister G?

hmm, possibly? I'd love the facts *especially due to time distortion and who I'm getting most of my info from* but not the scrutiny just yet... I know G can be sneaky in a good way though. Sure!

That is the elephant in the room.
