Yahoo Question of the Week: What’s With The PBR?
Usually when we post questions we find on Yahoo it’s because the questions are so dumb and ridiculous that they make us laugh. Like when people ask about their poo or how to make their genitalia bigger. I mean, really, who asks those sorts of things? Not this week, though.
I Heart America!
Sometimes, I have to admit, I feel defective. People I hardly know forward me e-mails about supporting U.S. troops and flying American flags proudly, and I quietly delete them. It’s not that I hate my country. It’s just that I’ve never really felt any affection for it . . . until now.

Why Are Politicians So Stupid?!
We’ve long known that celebrities do stupid stuff. Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton (does she count as a celebrity?) and countless others entertain us with their amusing and slightly horrifying behavior. However, they’re not the only ones who like to get drunk and go a little crazy. No, no my friends – the political arena is where all the craziest stuff happens.
Why You Should…Smile More
From as early as I can remember, I have been told to smile more. It’s not as if I skulked around family events and school functions all goth-like, it was just a reflex statement of my mother. Now that I’m older, I can still hear my mother’s voice in my head whenever I’m at a social function. Apparently, there are reasons for smiling…more than just because your mom says so.
Wardrobe Wish List: BCBG Printed Flutter Sleeve Dress
May I introduce you to the perfect summer dress? It’s light and feminine and the cut would be flattering on almost anyone. The flowers are bright and summery, yet delicate. They let you take part in the floral trend of the summer without screaming “I’M TAKING PART IN THE FLORAL TREND OF THE SUMMER!”
I’m Torn: Vintage Shopping
Let’s just put it this way: if shopping were a sport, I would be a Michael-Phelps-style Olympic gold medalist. Thus in my vast experience of “competing,” whether it be at D&G or at Target, I’ve definitely run into some vintage stores every now and then and I’m not sure how I feel.
Move Aside, Men: Why Women Should Dominate the Workplace
Although we gals have pushed, yelled and fought for our rights for decades, it’s an unfortunate fact that men dominate a number of professions in the U.S. (and often make more money than women doing the same things). Can we imagine a world where estrogen ruled, women weren’t subjected to workplace prejudices, and men were delegated to diaper duty?

Body Blog: Can You Be Fit AND Fat?
When I started training for a half-marathon a few years back I was absolutely convinced that I would be in the best shape of my life. How could running at least 7 miles everyday not give me lean, sexy legs, rock hard abs, or toned arms?
Candy Dish: Janet Jackson Speaks
• Janet speaks about Michael at the BET awards.
• Is it OK to find this funny?
• Kris Allen is totes crushing on Adam Lambert.
• Free software you should be using.
• If Chewbacca had starred in When Harry Met Sally.
• Is Britney engaged?
Weekly Ten: I Wish Sarah Palin Was My Mommy
Letterman and Palin’s tiff over his hilarious and, okay, slightly horrible and sexist comments, had the media’s focus back on our favorite Alaskan governor: Mrs. Sarah Palin. Finally – after a lot of back, forth and all around – the two kissed and made up and all is right with the late night funnyman and ex-candidate for VP, who, shocker, has a sense of humor?
Overheard: You Should Know This Already
(Girl, talking to her boyfriend in an apartment hallway.)
Girl: Put the hat on and turn around. Please?
Guy: Why?
Girl: When I can’t see your face, I can fantasize that you’re Mr. Darcy.
Bathroom Toys Everyone Needs
Between running out of toilet paper, sitting on dirty pee stained public toilet seats, and producing gag worthy smells, going to the bathroom is definitely not the cleanest, girliest, most fun activity that occurs quite often in a day. But it is a part of our everyday lives and we kinda have to do it, so we might as well make the best of it, right?
The Morning After: Nice To Meet You, Neighbors!
It was the first party in our new house. Our boxes weren’t even unpacked yet, but our new neighbors (who all happened to be very cute boys) were having people over so we thought we’d join in too. I rifled through my duffle bags to find a low-cut shirt and a pair of jeans to wear, dabbed on a bit of makeup and was ready to mingle with my new friends.
