Fifteen Inches of Fame

Chris Lundberg here heard from someone that we'd been mentioned in GQ. And now, after sufficient squinting through the fragrance ads, we're prepared to reveal it. We're part of a top-ten list of reasons Republicans are better lovers:

9. WOOING TECHNIQUES
Republicans will never send you group e-mails that consist of the entire text of Al Gore's last speech (that was "woefully underreported" but "I knew you'd want to read it in its entirety"). Or the sign-up sheet for Democracy in Action, or whatever the hell those weirdos from the Howard Dean campaign are up to now. Or forms to send your congressperson because something terrible is happening to some woman you don't know in Niger. (And you'd better send it to a hundred more friends or her labia will be removed tonight!!!) Nah. Republicans send e-mails that say: "I can't wait to eat your pussy."

Steal This Flash Generator

There's that old adage about the master's tools never dismantling the master's house. Maybe that's so. But some of them sure are just the right size and shape for heaving through windows.

Chevy lumbered, groaning, aboard the clue train with a whiff of the new hotness that is power to the edges, inviting visitors to its web site to submit their own ads for a the petrol-gobbling Tahoe SUV as part of some cross-promotion with The Apprentice.
