CULTURE BUZZ – Maxim gets flack for placing Sarah Jessica Parker at the top of the “unsexiest women” list, also for having an “unsexiest women” list in the first place, and also for generally being lame and shallow.

POLITICS BUZZ – An article in the Washington Post entitled “We Scream, We Swoon. How Dumb Can We Get?” is generating outrage from bloggers. In the article, she accuses female Obama supporters of being silly groupies. Shouldn’t the fact that Barack Obama is the new NKOTB be a step up for womankind? We just put in our orders for some “Women for Obama” baby tees.
