Dear Mr. President Barack H. “Stands for ‘Hope!’” Obama, What’s happening to us? You and I have been involved for about a year.

For those familiar with the littlest Hitler, Adolf H. Campbell, who seems to exemplify the absolute worst case scenario for every adorable child you have secretly wanted to rescue from his terrifying parents after observing them in a grocery store and just knowing that whatever’s going on there can’t be any good, the question of […]

1. Yoga for people who are drunk all of the time. 2. Narcissism: personality disorder or Self-Esteem Plus? 3. Which natural herbal remedy can get you totally baked? (Hint: it’s not what you think.)

Ladies, gentlemen: pity the office workers of Lower Midtown. They report, every day, to one of the least interesting, most tourist-heavy sections of New York. They have been accidentally included in at least 5,000 digital photos of the Empire State building. They cannot walk for more than ten feet without encountering (a) an out-of-towner in […]

WHAT. So, for those keeping track, that’s Marilyn, Jayne, and Betty (the most shameless, and therefore most lovable one – you’ve got to like a girl who can fondle a riding crop while smiling like she’s in a Sears family portrait) gone.

Anyone who takes it upon herself to write lady business book reviews must, sooner or later, file a piece on Jane Austen. (It is a truth universally acknowledged! Ha, NO.)
