So far, April is mainly just walking around and not giving birth, which is probably annoying to poor April. There’s nothing quite like the end of pregnancy, when you just want to be done with it and get to the part where you have a baby. Maybe it’s different for giraffes, but that’s sure how I felt when I was pregnant.

Like Gwyneth, I’m a mom of two kids, so I’m kind of hung up on the fact that she has the time to take a whole bath every night. I usually only manage to squeeze in a prison shower after the kids are in bed and before I collapse, so this brush-and-bathe routine is really amazing to me.

Breaking! Breaking! Ben & Jerry’s is introducing a line of non-dairy frozen desserts!

The standoff over a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon took a bloody turn last night when eight of the protestors engaged with federal authorities. One man has been killed, another injured and the remaining six people were arrested.

Of all the weird powers granted to various branches of the government, the right of U.S. senators to conduct filibusters — to keep talking as long as they want — is one of the weirdest.

You could probably look on the internet and find people whining about the changes, but I’m in too good a mood about seeing women and minorities on my money to go looking for bigots and their rainy damn parades.

Joe Biden has been a lot of things to a lot of people. He was a senator for the people of Delaware.

Some of Republican senators' discomfort with voting for their health bill is due to groups of frantic activists who have been pummeling the Senate phone lines, showing up at Senate offices, and even staging a “People’s Filibuster” by rallying on the steps of the Capitol. All of them are begging their elected officials to represent the interests of the sick and the poor, not just the rich and powerful.
