Also, hot?  Definitely not.  That picture is cool artistically, but I find it not just a-sexual but unsexy. Ms. Lohan has no curves.  I'm not saying I wouldn't have sex with her, cause I'd fuck just about anything with two legs and a vagina (yes, bonobos too), but I'd rather see a woman what got some back.

      <![CDATA[So yeh, I thought the Prop 8 thing with the taxes was a little weird too...but she at least read information about Melissa Ethridge's stance on the decision.  Also, if people paid attention she started out saying she found out about the election outcome in bed...and then later in the discussion talked about her and Samantha rushing home from their friend's house to watch it (read: Sam and I were in bed watching the elections).  That was also the same way they found out about the plane crash they discussed on Lovelines when Lindsay initially talked about being with Samantha.  Hmmm...sounds like the spend lots of time in bed together! ;)

      <![CDATA[hmmm.  I don't think I care.  Way too many offensive things going on in this world to take offense at someone's phraseology where it is clearly not meant in a derogatory manner.  And by the way, on a recent trip to NYC my spouse and I sat right behind, and I mean right behind, Lindsay and her gal at the play Spring Awakening.  She's a way cool chick in my book. Much to cool to care about all the little ears that are hurt when her words aren't sufficiently pc.
