What's more "woman-friendly" than someone setting a goal for herself and accomplishing it? It's also great if a woman chooses to go to college or have a baby; should women who do those things be subjected to shitty remarks from people who dropped out of high school or chose not to have kids?

"Glorifying weight loss?" Really?

Besides designing cars, Mike Mate is an automotive artist of great renown:

Oh, he'd have wanted it, alright. If it put a nickel in his pocket, he'd have been just fine with it.

I read once that he offered this to VW as the 2nd-Gen Scirocco, and they said no thanks, and that's how it ended up with Isuzu.

I was going to post a long list of the reasons Coloradans who aren't either nutball Christians or trapped in a perpetual guns-and-monster-trucks-fixated adolescence think CS is about the most moronic, reactionary hellhole in the state; then I realized that your did it for me, er, "punnisher."

Exactly!

News about Gen X? Maybe Time should have FAXed this story to 1994, when somebody would have cared.

It's the Department of Homeland Security that runs the Secret Service, Erin, not the Department of Defense.

Little-known fact: Bob Woodward also was wearing pink socks when he got his Pulitzer. And a matching bustier.

I realize that for the people who frequent this site it's mostly about the penguins, but did Jezebel just break the news that Ron Paul's dropped out, which I can find NOWHERE else?

Just this past weekend, my GF and I did her headlights with the kit from Sylvania, $20 on Amazon. It was amazing, pretty easy (took about an hour to do both lenses), and I heartily recommend it. Consumer Reports liked it, too. No idea how long it lasts, though.

Somebody posted this in Gawker crosstalk. Nicely put.
