Neko Case - Hold On, Hold On As a Friday treat, I’d like to take this moment to direct everyone to this comment by pro-life reader Shawn. It’s so rich that I’m convinced it has to be high-level performance art, because he insists that population statistics are evil; says that women who miscarry have been touched by Satan and need exorcism to rid them of their demons; argues that the pro-life position ends when immoral acts come into play, which is why children conceived via IVF are evil and should be destroyed.

Friday Random Ten - the Hit the City edition

Sorry posting has been slow on my end. I got back to New York two days ago, and between seeing temporarily-returned far-flung friends, setting up my new apartment(!), running a million errands, doing my real job and preparing for school on Monday, the blog has taken a back seat. But I have a ton of great stuff in my email box, including a very important call to action on behalf of Jamie Leigh Jones (the woman raped by KBR employees in Iraq) which will be posted very very soon. Things will pick up over the next few days. If you’re looking for some good reading and you somehow haven’t come across this post by Brownfemipower, you should really head over there. It’s also on my list of “things to link and respond to,” but I’m really sucking at the whole blogging thing right now and it’s so good I don’t want to hold onto it any longer. [lien] [EN]
