I would have never guessed that Camille Paglia would be in awe of Sara Palin or perceive her as follows, “Conservative though she may be, I felt that Palin represented an explosion of a brand new style of muscular American feminism.

Yes
No
Someone told me that high-fives are passe so I have replaced them with bumps and regular, manly, handshakes.

Andy Sernovitz’s blog’s name says it all, and definitely reflects my response to reading this: Damn, I Wish I’d Thought of That!, especially in his post Instant Word of Mouth for Restaurants.

Divorce makes me so sad but the idea of post-divorce dating makes me suicidal.
