1. The Supreme Court is out of control. Never thought I’d say this, but where the fuck is Sandra Day O’Connor when you need her? Let’s hope Hill’s bill can make it through Congress…
2. The FDA is out of control. Despite widespread information to the contrary, and pleading from the Red Cross, the FDA upheld [...]

–The Mistress’s Daughter by A.M. HomesAlready finished this one. Wanda heard my undigested take on the book, but after digested, it doesn’t fare much better. I like the book, but the structure seems all wrong–it’s uneven. Book One – “The Mistress’s Daughter” is great; it’s strange, unsettling, and laced with Amy Homes’ signatures. But it [...]

Now, I think that Prince Charles–with his passion for organic farming and best-selling line of biscuits*–is perfectly acceptable and adorable. It’s the queen who unsettles me, and it’s her current visit to the U.S. that is [...]
