Is shopping! At least, that’s what Bust tells me today, in their think piece on the Great Obama Dress Scandal of ’08: The modified version of the Narcisco Rodriguez’s dress was showing off her confidence in not being pigeonholed into wearing those lame-ass, boring suit-dresses.

One thing you can do, if you are bored, is to read the AV Club article entitled “Hell hath no fury: 22 films about vengeful women.” While you are reading it, you might want to count the implications of and synonyms for sexist dog-whistles such as “irrational,” “overreaction,” “crazy,” and “selfish.” It turns out there […]
