- Madonna loses her bid to adopt another child from Malawi, Mercy James.
- Whoa. Think twice about keeping your kids from their dad.
- The Canadian F-Blog Awards are now accepting nominations for feminist blogs in a variety of categories! It’s early days for Confabulous (and there’s no “best new blog” award), but you can go vote plus check out all the nominees here.
- Good news for old farts! “Face it: You do become a cheaper drunk with age.”
- Which is especially good news given the fact that it’s us ladies who are buying most of the wine.

- More ridiculous coverage of Michelle Obama and her outfits. Today’s angle: Michelle vs. Carla!
- Maybe you can help: Her Bad Mother is looking for her birth brother who was adopted in 1963.
