Bureau of Reclamation
Tina Fey’s return to the Weekend Update chair included a big dollop of support for Hillary Clinton along with an argument for taking back the word bitch. This could only have been better if she’d held up a copy of Bitch magazine!

In Defense of Diablo Cody
Much as I had mixed feelings about the film Juno, I just don't understand the massive public hate-on for its screenwriter, Diablo Cody. Okay, she gave herself a stupid pen name. Juno had a couple of overly precious, cringeworthy lines of dialogue. Does that really warrant parodies like these?... Read more »
Your Vagina Looks Too Much Like A Vagina
Seattle Weekly reports that the Seattle Times refused to run an ad for a performance of The Vagina Monologues Feb 24th at The Museum of History and Industry, sponsored by The National Council of Jewish Women because the artwork looked too much like, well, a vagina.

What I Love About Reading Bitch In Public

Heads up, dog people!
Meet Sprint, an adorable (check out those eyebrows!) six-month-old pit bull mix who's looking for love — more specifically, looking for a permanent home in the San Francisco Bay Area. He turned up on Lisa's doorstep recently, and she and her friend Janet are hoping to find him a new family. Could... Read more »
Travel Diary: Way down south in Sewanee
I'm going to start this post by admitting that, most mornings, I wake up and immediately turn on the Today show. Partly it's a kind of alarm supplement, to ensure that I don't fall back asleep. Partly it's because I like to know if anything was attacked or blown up or wiped out or otherwise... Read more »
