    Are you kidding me?

    Will someone please explain to me how putting important issues like "Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination [and] the FDA's stalling over Plan B" in a separate blog (accented by touches of pink, no less, so that people who don't read chick lit, like men, and me, are less likely to read it) "puts women in the center"?

    It doesn't. It puts these issues on the sidelines. And these are issues of national importance, not just "women's issues."

    I truly can't believe Salon has jumped on the pink-and-green girl-power bandwagon. Now, excuse me while I go unsubscribe.
