“I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute.” - Paris Hilton
After watching Paris’ CNN interview with Larry King, I have been dying to comment on it but I haven’t gotten around to it. This is crazy to admit, and many might feel a hell of a lot differently than me, but […]

A curvy woman in a magazine ad = happiness
June 30th, 2007 · 2 Comments
So imagine my utter delight this afternoon when I finally opened up the issue of People Magazine with Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus on the cover and I saw a Got Milk? Ad. Not just any Got Milk? ad either. It featured one of my favorite actresses, Sara Ramirez, who plays Dr. Callie […]

Feisty, Fierce, and Fabulous Journalist Mika Brzezinski Tears Up Paris Hilton Report
June 29th, 2007 · No Comments
Check out this awesome video of journalist Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC. As a result of her refusal to make a report about Paris Hilton the lead story, Mika was labeled a “wench” and harrassed by her Beavis and Butthead-ish male colleagues because she continuously refused to lead the report with an update on Hilton and […]

Check us out at Campus Progress’ 2007 conference. Scroll down to see me and other Young People For fans. You’ll also see Ralph Nader who was there talking to a whole lot of young people and hanging out. I think he’s super smart but when I was close to him I had to take all […]

Roberts’ Court Turned Back The Clock
June 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Today, I am remembering a chant I screamed to the top of my lungs many times in front of the Supreme Court when Rehnquist died and O’Connor left the court… “5-4, 4-5 these decisions change our lives.” Not only is the “5-4″ chant relevant in terms of reproductive justice issues, it is becoming painfully clear […]

age of the insane

I refuse to watch it. The previews are enough. I just have one question, what on earth is wrong with these women? Okay so I have many more, but that’s the main one. There is this new “reality” show called Age of Love. It’s on NBC and it makes my […]

Reason 1,000,000,000 why I love Elizabeth Edwards
June 27th, 2007 · No Comments
Elizabeth Edwards called into Hardball and held the devil -ahem-Ann Coulter- publicly accountable for her hate mongering, nasty attacks, and lack of real substance. I am so glad that she stood up for her family and all of the diverse people Coulter has insulted so ruthlessly over the years. It was such a treat seeing […]

Why do women sleep with other women’s guys?
June 27th, 2007 · 4 Comments
The new Carrie Underwood song is great for turning up really loud and blaring as you drive really fast down the street, but it’s also great because it provokes a really great discussion about cheating. What interests me is not why men cheat on their girlfriends or wives, but why women knowingly get involved […]

My girl crush: Meg Ryan
June 27th, 2007 · No Comments
“Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don’t mind saying that, it’s true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them. I don’t feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they’re seen or not is another issue.”
- Meg Ryan
Meg Ryan is my ultimate girl […]

Okay, so I said that I wasn’t crazy about the bashing of Stupid Girls, but this is pretty hilarious. Radar magazine has put together a celebrity fashion spread, well, making fun of celebrity fashion spreads. Check it out.
