    Thank you @Pearls. Exactly. The Walrus was, according to Glass Onion, Paul. So @timeoutofmind, fuckoff, and don't talk to me about The Beatles. I get stabby.

    It continues to amaze and horrify me this Jon and Kate story. The worst fiction writer in the world could not have come up with an unfolding narrative such as this. Just when you think they've reached the final plateau of cheese and self-indulgence, nope, there's a new horizon. Even Jackie Collins has standards.

    WTF? It would be much better to spend that money to help prevent maternal morbidity and serious complications like fistula, which are a big problem in Sudan. Fistula not only generally means a woman won't be having any more babies (and will be treated like a witch, obviously), it also means she'll leak urine and/or feces from her vagina for the rest of her life and be even more of a pariah, unless she gets a surgery that costs...about $300. Dum dum DUM!

    In reply to Poor Africans Catch Break on Babies (Cue Questionable Remarks)
    Having lived in South Africa and traveled throughout southern Africa, I can safely say that a woman who is unable to bear children is considered "cursed", as the sole purpose of marriage is to procreate. These women are usually ostracized from their families, communities and her life made unbearable. So if this helps in that regard, I applaud this development. That said, much, much more needs to be done with family planning and reproductive education and the basic rights of women.

    I couldn't love this man more if he painted on my courtyard wall in the dead of the night...although I am willing to test it.

    As if I needed additional proof that "Banksy" is a douche. And while we're at it, can Lazerides Gallery in London, which reps him, please stop spamming my e-mail? I wrote something about Banksy a while ago and though I blocked them all, they still found a weasely way to constantly inform me of their current exhibits of douchery.

    If you kids wanna be grown-ups, you can pay for my house's foundation repair. It's about the most boring, grown-up-est thing I've ever had to buy (beyond the house itself).
