Has Obama already renounced his Feminist Superdude status? Because he is allegedly “begging” Henry Waxman to strip extended birth control coverage from the economic stimulus package.

Once, in a far-away land known only as 9:30 a.m. this morning, I opened my e-mail inbox to find a message which read as follows: I haven’t yet read this… … but I suspect it might be a topic of conversation on the lady blogs tomorrow, if it isn’t already: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/magazine/25desire-t.html?_r=1 Or not.

So: done and… well, almost-but-not-quite-but-nearly-as-good-as-done. Yay! Good job! Keep it up! And so on and so forth! Now.

Roe vs. Wade is thirty-six years old today! This means that, if it were a person, its friends and relatives would already be talking to it about how it totally should have had a baby by now, don’t you think? Because, you know, time is running out for it and they don’t want it to […]

Hey! Do you care about Lily Allen’s (apparently toolish) dad? NO? Well, here he is anyway: “As a man, I could drink, snort, and fuck to my heart’s content without major detriment to my career,” Keith Allen says. “A girl cannot do that.
