It Seems Almost Cruel to Criticize 'The Little Red Truck'new

I Lost My Life to World of Warcraftnew
While I have been an elite player of many off- and online games, I have also been the inevitable loser of close friends and loved ones who cannot shake the mind rot and addiction of their electronic second selves.

Happytownnew
A website, brought to you by Portland, Ore.'s Planned Parenthood of Columbia-Willamette, is called Take Care Down There (www.takecaredownthere.org), and it's all about sex ed. It's direct, forthright and pretty damn funny. Plus it gives kids valuable info, like how to use a condom and the fact that oral sex can transmit disease.

Every Half Hour Brings a New Tidbit To Light About Sarah Palinnew
As an actual feminist, I have the great good joy of getting to determine what is and isn't sexist. Sexist: Asking whether Sarah Palin shouldn't be staying home with her baby and her other children. (And yes, I've heard you asking just that.) Not sexist: Pointing out that Sarah Palin is an utter twit.
