One of the perks of being Senator of Minnesota is that you get to surround yourself with attractive women. I think it's in the state constitution or something.

Do shorties dig shorties? Well the ladies have spoken, and somewhere out there Randy Newman is probably getting all saucy.
Like semi-clothed Japanese women? Like looking like an asshole in public? Like blowing on inanimate objects? There's an app for that.

The latest from Women on the Web
This chart breaks down the percentage of women who believe it is OK for their husbands to hit them, by country. Jordan, Somalia, and Ethiopia top it off with around 80% of women saying it's OK, while women in Serbia, Georgia, and Belize say no way.

The liberation of women could help solve many of the world's problems, from poverty to child mortality to terrorism.
Calvin Harris combined his love of creating catchy music with his love of groping women to create The Humanthesizer. [via]
Two Jewish newspapers photoshopped the female ministers out of Israel's new cabinet photo. It's considered a violation of modesty to publish pictures of women by ultra-orthodox Jews, so this is one way to deal with it.
So the Concussion vs. Boombot Game Battle actually ended on Monday, but the votes are still pouring in, because people feel very strongly about Scott losing. Thank you to everyone who voted and made their commitment to Women's Online Gaming Rights heard. Together we can take back the internet!
TV Buzz Forgetting anything they learned (or didn’t learn) about NBC’s quarterlife, ABC has given the green light to airing thirteen episodes of web series In The Motherhood, starring Leah Remini, Chelsea Handler, and Jenny McCarthy. Despite the product placement being just a tad heavy-handed, In The Motherhood seems like a funny, freshly irreverent take on motherhood. And at one point, the moms stand around eating a bowl of chips and salsa, which is something that mothers …apparently do now?
Tech Buzz Site that alerts you of when that special woman in your life is about to reach that special time of the month. Just enter in the date of their last period, and PMS Buddy will warn you when they’re about to start PMSing. Site is currently tracking over 1,200 women world wide. This site is going to save lives.
Sports Buzz The LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) is requiring that all members speak English. Many see it as an attack against the 45 South Koreans on tour, but the LPGA insists that players need to speak English in order to satisfy sponsors. Beginning in 2009, players who have been on the tour for more than 2 years must pass an oral evaluation or face suspension.
Culture Buzz It’s not Oprah. For the second year in a row Forbes named Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, the most powerful woman in the world. Check out the top 100.
Culture Buzz As the movie approaches its second week in theaters, it continues to make news, as media outlets are making claims of rampant sexism in the film’s critical reception. Personally, we think the most offensive part of the movie is Jennifer Hudson’s role meant to simply fill the color quota. But, whatever, let’s fight about shoes.
Culture Buzz Yogurt companies have always targeted women, but the idiotic ads that essentially paint ladies as one-track-minded imbicles who sit on couches with their feet tucked behind them are finally receiving some backlash. However, Jamie Lee Curtis shilling Activia is awesome, but then again we’ll watch that crazy lady do anything, even if it means her leading the discussion on America’s “digestive health” crisis. Keep the Poop Chat coming, Jamie Lee!
Politics Buzz Bloggers are urging women to send their resumes to Senator McCain in response to his comment that women need more “education and training” if they want equal pay. After Senate Republicans blocked the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act last Wednesday, McCain (who failed to even show up for the vote) blames the wage gap on lack of education. Since 58% of college graduates are women, maybe McCain needs more education on the issue?
Sports Buzz The first woman to win a major auto race is a hot 26-year-old. Score one for female empowerment! Young girls who want to grow up to become female racecar drivers and/or pose on the cover of FHM magazine now have a proper role model. (Thanks for the tip!)
Culture Buzz Although many would hope this term connoted hot girl-on-girl action, it’s something much simpler: adoration by women for women. Audrey Hepburn, Chelsea Clinton, and Gwyneth Paltrow score points with gals for the ease with which they exude class and intelligence. Keep your fingers crossed - if Britney can manage to stay sane and keep her ironic tee shirts free of Spaghetti-O stains, she’ll be right up there beside her pseudo-British sisters soon enough.
Business Buzz A T-shirt reading “NO MEANS NO. Well maybe if I’m drunk” is removed from a retailer’s website after widespread complaints. Adding insult to injury, the tasteless retailer replaced the offending garment with a T-shirt featuring a “Miss Bitch” graphic, and offered a 10% discount to readers of Feministing, the site that lodged the original complaint.
