    Your Wombatness, we absolutely approve of Miss Lohan’s underwear decisions, though we might approve of those decisions more on other ladies, such as those who couldn’t smuggle in a pack of cigarettes hiding under their unsupported mammaries.

    You don’t suppose Summers was dissuaded by the Senate’s attending physician, who feared his appearance might trigger uncontrolled nausea among the more sensitive female members? http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/09/larry_summers_the_thought_poli.html

    Well, they just released the names of the victims. Looks like all except one are white. The other an Asian.

    Nah, this is not a racially motivated crime. Nothing to see… Move along now…
