"One of Mayor Bloomberg's first moves was the announcement that he's dismantling Rudy's decency commission, something we think bodes extremely well for New York nightlife. Celebrate by supporting these exuberant examples of show-and-tell (some of which might even pass for art)."

"She was a champion triathlete. She had a master's degree in public policy from Harvard, and she'd been a White House Fellows finalist. She had patrolled the no-fly zone over Iraq and would later direct search-and-rescue missions inside Afghanistan.

She was quite a success story for the modern military, which had worked hard to knock down barriers to female achievement.

Then she landed at Prince Sultan Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia in November of 2000."

jeep ad with deer

saw a strange commercial yesterday for some jeep product. a jeep is festooned with what we assume are two deer taken down by a hunter. as the jeep winds its way through the woods, other hunters crane their necks in awe at the vehicle and its bloody haul. but once out of view of the hunters the driver gets out of the car and unties the deer and releases them. he hadnt killed them, he was trying to save them. i guess in this fantastic world the hunters dont move and the deer will understand not to go back into the woods. very odd, even stranger that it was aired during a football game. isnt that the last refuge for redmeat eaters? next youll be telling me that having cheerleaders is sexist. here is where you cant see it.
