We are Thinking Bloggers
David has given Feministe a Thinking Blogger Award, and I’m quite thrilled and very flattered. Now I get to bestow the award on five others (which is difficult, since there are so many great blogs out there). The rules are: 1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 [...]

I love me some Grey’s Anatomy, but Isaiah Washington sure has a talent for acting like an ass and then feeling sorry for himself..

Jill kindly emailed me to let me know I can still post into the wee hours tonight if I want to, and apparently I do, after all. A few what-I-thought-were-disparate ideas sort of congealing, then:
