It's updated every Sunday and it's something I always look forward to - I suggest you check it out. It always makes me feel better in a group therapy/"hey, you're not as effed up as you think you are" kind of way. And, I think everyone can use a little of that these days, because we all have enough of ...

• 2nd graders being suspended for wearing an anti-"N"-word t-shirt to school
• Lesbian couple celebrating 18 years together on their way to a cruise and one woman suffering a stroke rushed to the hospital and her partner is denied by the Miami hospital to see her dying partner and told she was in a "anti-gay city and state"
• Of course, among heterosexual couples, women are most often the trailing spouse and their careers suffer, as a result
• David Addington under subpoena; not happy about it. Could the president ever be justified in breaking the law? "I'm not going to answer a legal opinion on every imaginable set of facts any human being could think of," Addington growled. Did he consult Congress when interpreting torture laws? "That's irrelevant," he barked. Would it be legal to torture a detainee's child? "I'm not here to render legal advice to your committee," he snarled. "You do have attorneys of your own."
• And ... y'know that John "At least I don't plaster on makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain guy that seems to have a really special relationship with women? He's got a wicked sense of humor too! Because it's probably not funny when you're laid up as a prisoner of war but beating your wife - that's hilarious!

So, watch the clip, help support the suicide hotline. Send in a postcard.
