I mean, they even have &#8220;live video&#8221; (though given all the hubbub over a few grainy topless sunbathing photos, I&#8217;m assuming the video is from outside the hospital and not of the actual birth).<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I can see how this might be somewhat of interest in England, but for the rest of the planet?  I mean, there are like 370,000 babies born every day in the world, and I really couldn&#8217;t give a shit about any of them (except for maybe on those rare occasions when they happen to be born to somebody I know &#8211; and, frankly, I didn&#8217;t really care all that much about most of them, either).  <\/p>\n<p>I see that the nation of Dubai has shown great mercy and magnanimity in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/07\/22\/marte-deborah-dalelv-pardoned-dubai_n_3633809.html\">pardoning a Norwegian woman for the deeply offensive crime of being raped<\/a> (or as they call it in the Arab world &#8211; and Texas &#8211; &#8220;having sex outside marriage&#8221;). I think we ought to reward them by selling them some fighter jets or tanks or something.<\/p>\n<p>My friendly advice to you gals out there is: stay the hell away from Dubai (or Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>Another place to avoid would probably be Cleveland, where it appears you&#8217;ll either be kept chained up in some nut&#8217;s house or wind up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/07\/21\/3-female-bodies-found-ohio-suburb_n_3630983.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular\">dead and rotting in a garbage bag<\/a>.  Might want to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/07\/21\/rosy-esparza-six-flags-roller-coaster-victim_n_3631056.html?ref=topbar\">stay off of roller coasters in Texas<\/a>, too (actually, I&#8217;d just avoid Texas altogether &#8211; especially if you want the right to decide for yourself what medical care you&#8217;re allowed to have access to).<\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s Monday again, which sucks.  On the bright side, the weather is cool and the air is dry, and we&#8217;ve actually been able to sleep with the windows open for the past couple of nights.  I really would have preferred to stay in bed for another hour or two this morning, to be honest.  But duty calls.  <\/p>\n<p>Besides, the baby&#8217;s coming!  :yippee:   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh my god oh my god OH MY GOD! The baby&#8217;s coming!
