Cornball And meanwhile, in Tennessee, a deranged gunman lets loose on a congregation during a performance of "Annie" (careful, Kiley...it may seem justified on these grounds but is not!), screaming "hateful words" (yet unidentified) about the church's support for gays and women and killing two.

At the seminar “How to Take Names and Be Taken Seriously as a Political Blogger,” many women said that their male colleagues and major media groups tended to ignore them, and to link to them less often (unless they are Arianna Huffington). They pointed to the Netroots Nation gathering (formerly known as Yearly Kos) for politically progressive bloggers, occurring that same weekend in Austin, Tex.

While I understand that women face discrimination in the realm of political blogging, maybe it would have been more beneficial for them to go to the Netroots Nation conference instead of this other thing?

I think ECB is more pissed off about that article appearing in the fashion section of the NYT.

I just checked, the top article in that section is about... triathalon deaths? And environmental awareness about driving gas guzzlers?
