Mmmm, the chocolate planet. Well, OK, it's just Mars, but it does look rich and fudgy...with a crunchy blue water ice center!

Holy Shtetl -- prepare yourselves, theatergoers! None other than Irish-American professional lesbian Rosie O'Donnell will be taking over the role of Golde in Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway this fall. Of course, her husband Tevye is played by Harvey Fierstein...oy! Get this, the show's original lyricist says Rosie "is certainly strong, and down to earth, with a certain peasanty quality to her." Indeed: check out the babushka in this photo!
Whaddya mean, the Air Force isn't in the Constitution?! -- Here's a little primer on our much-misunderstood founding document, and what it doesn't include, little things like the word "democracy" or the right to vote.

"Regular lipstick wearers will ingest up to four and a half kilos during their lifetime." -- Mmmmmm! You might think twice about flipping through the latest Vogue after this review of Beauty And Misogyny: Harmful Cultural Practices In The West by Sheila Jeffreys, last of the radical lesbian feminist critics. I'm not sure if moisturizer and hair dye are always tools of the patriarchy, but I do think the sexual infantilization of women in our culture really can't sink much lower -- in my lifetime we've gone from power suits (ie "dress like a man, except with eyeshadow") to low rise jeans to the current style of flip-flops, flowered skirts, and teeny camisoles on women of all ages. Um, no.
