During this so-called 'swinging' era in America's not-too-distant past, Steinem actually went undercover as a Bunny and wrote a somewhat infamous article about her experience at Hef’s place. And as you can imagine, it wasn’t terribly flattering.

So when NBC network execs have the nerve to bill this show as "empowering to women," my eye does that twitchy thing. I’m so over hearing that old chestnut. Well, that and the one about how these women are "owning their sexuality." With their comically bad implants and bleached blonde hair, they’re reinforcing the Barbie stereotype. And if you've ever been unfortunate enough to catch an episode of The Girls Next Door, you're probably wondering the same thing that I am: When has the Playboy lifestyle of sexual exploitation, complete with its insulting weekly Bunny allowance and curfew, ever been "empowering to women"?

Am I showing my age if I point out that Sinead O’Connor is back on the scene? OH WELL. For those of you that are in the geriatric ward with me, you likely remember her best for her shaved head and that time she went on SNL and ripped up a picture of the Pope. Irish fury at its unchecked best! Since then she’s kept a low profile, but has recently resurfaced as a backup singer to reggae singer Natty Wailer. Although we didn’t realize it until now because…um…well, just look at the pictures. I can’t.

Does anyone else think those Wall Street scumbags are just screwing with us now? Yesterday the stock market opened and immediately fell another 300 points, after rebounding Tuesday from a disastrous Monday. It’s no wonder that we’re starting to see headlines like "Spoiled Food: Is It Safe to Eat?" because the way the market’s going, we’re gonna have to start hoarding supplies and hunkering down for the long haul.
