Sorry about the continued lack of postings. I'll be up and at 'em again shortly once my tonsils stop threatening to explode in my throat. Yep, just about any minute now.

The feminist blogosphere is up in arms about coverage of Patricia Blagojevich's role in her husband's scandal. Lady Blagojevich is reported as saying, among other things, that they ought to "hold up that [expletive] Cubs [expletive] ... [expletive] them." Which is so [expletive], I can't even tell what it means! But some bloggers aren't into [...]

The Daily Beast has wrangled erstwhile Washingtonienne and newly branded wife Jessica Cutler into blogging for the site on "How She Went From Slut to Housewife."
