I agree that the police overreacted, but not with this clueless, entitled, sanctimonious blog post. Pulling the pregnancy card--particularly the "you can't understand if you've never been pregnant" card is just repugnant.

My mother never would have dreamed of opening something at a supermarket before paying for it just because I was hungry.

Dr. Oz, who identified as a republican the last time I checked, advocates for health care reform.

I apologize to those of you who were hoping I'd bring you back some whale meat from my next trip.
