ps…didn’t vote for casey and plan not to again. If the republicans run a pro-choice moderate republican woman she has my vote and my help and if she is “anti-choice” and like Palin says she is not planning to make a move to outlaw abortion, then she too has my support.
Women are more than their uteri and we have to care more about equal power and access and less about who is pro-choice.

I agreed with you until you got to what you think of Palin. I have decided that I am done voting for sexist, anti-choice mediocre democratic men when there is a chance to vote for a self made, smart ambitious woman who is NOT for teaching abstinence only and DID appoint a pro-choice female justice to the supreme court of Alaska…why the hell should my default position be to vote democratic when the democrat who was just elected has a WORSE record than Palin on appointees who make me gag, preachers and conservative religionist that he panders to and has a cute habit of calling women sweetie?
Seriously, my party shoved Bob Casey down our throats and Schmucky chucky said he wasn’t about to be held hostate by women’s special interests when chosing the nominee for PA (funny, I always thought that was the job of the primary voters). So it is about time to stop letting democrats take the women’s vote for granted.

Stop watching them. Seriously, if we stopped watching they will be replaced. The formula is dying and virtually eating itself. Tune into Chelsea Handler, Kimmel or Ferguson.

I've been catching up on Mad Men, but apparently, Conan isn't doing anything to raise the discourse.

Is it just me or is Conan making Clinton jokes like it’s 1998?

I’ve been disappointed at all the late night hosts too. (I haven’t seen Jimmy Fallon yet) Conan has already been forced to become more mainstream after the time change. Isn’t it about time for a female run late night talk show?

[...] don’t know if David Letterman’s joke was about fourteen year old Willow Palin or eighteen year old Bristol Palin (as he claims), but it [...]

totally agree PHDork. I’ve always found the way Dave went after female politicians stomach churning.

also soalg, you made me laugh I had an old roommate that seriously LOVES Craig Ferguson and practically drooled at the tv when he was on.

I take particular issue with women being called sluts by men. It is not meant as a joke it is done to specifically demean us and maintain the idea that we are dirty and corrupt You will not it is particularly genderized as there is not such word we use to describe male sexuality. What we constantly say is male slut meaning that slut primarily applies to women. Shame on you Dave, no amount of canned ham is going to make this better. Jokes are not created in a vacuum and are very much a part of how we understand certain bodies.
