Maybe liberal women “look like men” because liberals don’t elevate pea-brained twits into positions of authority based solely on their attractiveness. Imagine that.

Sci-fi shower scenes: Video of the 29 sexiest and... →
I do love the Flukeman, but I have to be somewhat disappointed that the X-Files clip they list is totally gross and not sexy. There’s a damn sexy (& awkward) shower scene with Mulder and Scully in the episode “One Son,” where they were detained by the CDC and stripped of their clothes and forced to shower together. Sexytimes.

The scenario is fairly typical: a company offers an opportunity to ‘break into the business’ in exchange for the intern working for free. You see many examples of this in the entertainment industry. […]
In order to qualify as an unpaid internship, the requirement is simple: no work can be performed that is of any benefit at all to the company. That is, you...

But that’s not what the moment calls for. That’s not what we came here to do. We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it. I still believe we can act even when it’s hard. I still believe we can replace acrimony with civility, and gridlock with progress. I still believe we can do great things, and that here and now we will meet history’s test.

Amid the jockeying, a new name emerged from outside the sphere of politics: Alan Khazei, the 48-year-old cofounder of City Year, the nationwide community service program for young adults, said he was seriously considering jumping into the Democratic primary.

Emma Watson ditches the movie star glamour as she... →
‘Harry Potter’ star Emma Watson dressed down for her first day at university in America at the weekend. Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the blockbuster series, will study literature at the prestigious Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Brown? Really?? Also, how annoying must it be to have Hermione in your lit class?

While Mason, Floyd’s drummer, described them as “interesting new developments,” he added a caveat. “It irritates me having watched my kids do it - if they spent as much time practising the guitar as learning how to press the buttons they’d be damn good by now.”
You know, I kinda have to agree with these guys. While I’m a big fan of useless pastimes,...

Arianna Huffington: Thank You, Glenn Beck! →
Thank you, Glenn Beck. By helping force the resignation of Van Jones, you have done a great service to your country. But in the exact opposite way than what you intended.

Divorce Rate in Gay Marriage-Legal MA Drops To... →
Provisional data from 2008 indicates that the Massachusetts divorce rate has dropped from 2.3 per thousand in 2007 down to about 2.0 per thousand for 2008. What does that mean ? To get a sense of perspective consider that the last time the US national divorce rate was 2.0 per thousand (people) was 1940. You read that correctly. The Massachusetts divorce rate is now at about where the US...
