Hell yes, abortion should stay legal!

I wasn’t going to blog my two cents about the abortion debate that is raging across the internet right now, but the NY Post has removed three of my comments that civilly disagree with Michael A. Walsh in his piece No Middle Ground On Abortion. You don’t put baby in a corner, Mr. Walsh. It’s... Read more »

Susan G. Komen vs. Planned Parenthood: The delicious hidden irony

Sometimes, something dripping with so much righteousness comes barreling out of the universe that I have to break polite society’s “don’t gloat” mantra and, well, gloat my face off. As I am sure you are aware, Planned Parenthood was defunded by the Susan G. Komen For The Cure foundation to a chorus of dissent. People were... Read more »

February is a rad time for resolutions, too!

image.attributes.post_excerpt
Okay, I guess February is a smidge late to the new year’s resolutions game, but in perfect execution of my new agenda, I’m making the rules. You see, this is The Year Of The Jenna. The Year of Me was supposed to be last year. I decided we were going to start hiring babysitters and... Read more »

It took me a year to figure out I was "roofied"

Advice columnist Dear Prudence gave some shaky advice to an alleged rape victim’s friend who is conflicted about the victim changing her story of a drunken encounter. Originally the alleged victim said she had a regrettable one-night-stand then later flip-flopped to rape accusation mode after talking to a crisis line. Dear Prudence and most of... Read more »

Roller Derby for outsiders

image.attributes.post_excerpt
My first exposure to the Roller Derby was last night, thanks to resident sports writer and personal home dog Andy Frye. If you weren’t aware, The Windy City Rollers is a women’s roller derby league , “the number one women’s derby league in Chicago” in fact. Last night’s game was at the UIC and boy... Read more »

Too fat to adopt a baby?

My friend Rachel is in Ethopia right now adopting her new sons. The big brown eyes and footie jams in the picture she posted on Facebook are making my brain nothing but mush. Buh-Stell can’t even walk yet but babies are like pieces of pizza: The first one is inhaled, the second one is savored... Read more »

Watching Jon Stewart should be required to vote

Did anyone catch Jon Stewart last night? He perfectly captures the hypocrisy of Republican politicians. It’s not that it matters that Newt Gingrich was a sleaze to his wives per se. Playboyitis is an equal opportunity affliction when it comes to politicians. See also: Bill Clinton and the spectacle of Weinergate. The problem is when... Read more »

Whiskey Mom would be an awesome show

An avid rock climber in her 9th month of pregnancy has been featured on television harnessed, roped and tackling dangerous heights. Nothing’s going to keep her down! What a badass. How hardcore. Also, as I seem to be alone in thinking, how careless. Jezebel featured the story today to a chorus of cheers because I guess... Read more »

Gender-neutral kids are bait for bullies, but have awesome names

Five years after the birth of her child, a self-proclaimed radical feminist in the U.K. has revealed the gender of her child. Sasha, it turns out, is a boy. Cigars all around! But for the last five years and for the foreseeable future, this family is committed to erasing “overtly masculine” elements from their son’s... Read more »

Groupon says nursing is a "frivolous" reason to decline Botox - UPDATE

You may recall the clock was ticking on a Groupon I bought for Botox, so I declared I was weaning my baby. Her first birthday is coming up and I thought it was time anyway, so I went to work with what I thought would be an easy task. Just start giving her milk and... Read more »
