But using re-usable canvas grocery bags will save the planet, right?

No. It's already destroyed remember.

Key line from Erica's review: "I am completely out of touch with what upper-middle-class American women care about." No, you're completely out of touch with anyone, and anything, outside your narrow world view. We can only picture your barely concealed smug look of contempt for the women at this event.

Sounds more like The Feminazi Manifesto to me.

@4: Holy shit, did you just use the word Feminazi? You're out of my will.

I blogged this.

I still can't find a URL for the In The Hall column in the print version that says the opposite of the book review. Anybody?

That's OK, Paul - you were never in my will in the first place. When I die, all my money's going to someone who really needs it: Dan Savage.

But, seriously, though: Feminazi? Come on!

You know, Paul, usually I agree with you about everything (it's part of the stalker manifesto) but this time, no way. The superlatives in your post were as annoying as the condescending claptrap that Megan and Erica passed off as book reviews.

@3 I couldn't agree more.

And I could write a concise, eloquent rebuttal to Erica and Megan's obtuse, self-righteous reviews, but I'm too tired. Instead, I'm going to watch Sleepless in Seattle.

Paul, I'm with you. Feminazi? What the hell?

Great reviews--thanks for pointing them out!

Little Green Purse makes me want to buy a cute little smart car so I can drive it onto the bus. I am going to write a letter to Metro to encourage them to remove some seats to increase the number of parking spaces on the buses, surely that will improve ridership.
