I'm thrilled to hear they chose to have a homebirth! Congrats to the new family.

Apologies! Was attempting to discuss politics, but fashion will do. Yes, he's apparently very dapper. No Ed Jew, though.

Ed, take adeep breath and harness your chi. We all know the only thing Ross rules is the vest aisle in the men's department at Kohl's. Don't be so literal.

That's real nice and all, another dependent for SF's bloated public servant benefits program while the rest of us struggle to get by, but let's all take a moment and acknowledge the fact that no one on the Board of Supervisors "rules" any thing or anyone: They are in office, temporarily, to be representatives of the people, and are accountable and answerable to us, period. Granted, it seems trivial to bring it up in this case, and I hate to spoil your puff piece, but this kind of demagoguery has become far too prevalent of late, and is not healthy to a democratic way of life.

I knew some dot com millionaire artisan baker triathletes once who had an at-home birth. While she was in the backroom, pooping out the baby in a hot tub, all their friends and family were in the front room imbibing champers and scarfing canapes. Later, pops brought out the baby, fresh from the womb and umbilical cord trailing, to much acclaim. The next day they had a brunch, during which they dumped the baby's placenta into a hole in the ground in their garden and planted a pinyon pine on top. I imagine Dreamy's kid was welcomed into the world in much the same manner.

Whoa, natural childbirth in this heat? Hope they had the A/C on full blast.

Natural childbirth = masochism.

I guess you could say that the baby is a product of "planned parenthood". You know, because he's the Planing Commissioner or something. That's the best I could do. From here to Maternity and all that.
