One more: Domino's nearest me had no idea about the new recipe.

Hehe - I still haven't watched past my Tweet's appearance. I don't really care what Domino's does with their recipe. As my brother says - it's far more important what their minimum wage (and lower probably) workers do.

Which Hamlet? I like several interps but I have a favorite.
- Melanie Reed
I don't know that Ben has watched any film versions of Hamlet, but he's seen a stage production and/or read it.
- joey
Melanie, I go with Branagh's simply because it's the most complete (but, unfortunately, most the overwrought). I also have a soft spot for Almereyda's Hamlet but I still think that one needs to see the play properly before indulging in modernizations and alternate versions.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I read it first them watched several different actors doing it. Always something new. And then saw 'Rosencrantz and Guidenstern Are Dead" . Glad of that progression. So many favorite moments but the one that keeps haunting is this: If it be now, 'tis not to come; If it be not now, yet it will come; the readiness is all. Since no man knows aught of what he leaves, What is't to leave betimes? Let be.
- Melanie Reed
And, of course, the best line from Rosencrantz & Guildenstern? BOK BOK BOK BOK.... BUCKAAH. BOK BOK BOK.

Akiva, yes, I very much appreciate Brannagh's (came out near Gibson's - and I like his too for different reasons) Have you tried our Kevin Kline's version? (grad IU btown) Interesting.

On modernizations, yes, I feel very much that way especially watching Ian McKellan in the remake of Richard III. That one still haunts me - the last scene.

Steele Under Fire for Paid Speaking Gigs -- Political Wire (h/t @kspidel) - http://politicalwire.com/archive...
Kohl S Gill, Andrew C and vicster is... liked this
"RNC Chairman Michael Steele "is using his title to market himself for paid appearances nationwide, personally profiting from speeches with fees of up to $20,000 at colleges, trade associations and other groups -- an unusual practice criticized by a string of past party chairmen," the Washington Times reports. "Mr. Steele, elected in January to the $223,500-a-year RNC post, is working with at least four outside agencies in Washington, New York, Boston and Nashville that book the speaking engagements. He charges between $8,000 and $20,000 for an address, plus first-class travel and lodging expenses.""
- Admiral Anika
from Bookmarklet
What legitimate reason is there to pay up to $20K to hear Michael Steele speak? It's not like he's that accomplished - what elections has he won _on his own_? What accomplishments has he had in running the RNC? The only mitigating factor I can see is that anyone who thinks this is legal bribery has neglected the fact that Steele doesn't have a lot of juice within the Republican party.
- Andrew C
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archive... - the DNC says they've never had an active chair speak for money, and there's also three former RNC heads condemning the practice.

He needs the money to pay for his health care.

A question of (sexism in) sport - The F-Word - http://www.thefword.org.uk/feature...
vicster is..., Anne Bouey and MVB (Grinch of FF) liked this
In an official capacity, the women’s team were given the recognition they deserved, for example, a reception at Downing St and captain Charlotte Edwards was awarded an MBE. But this failed to translate into substantial media coverage. We’re talking about the performance of one of our national sporting teams, yet nobody is apparently interested. The transfer of a league two footballer is likely to get bigger headlines. And it’s not just cricket. Open any newspaper and you’ll find scant coverage of any women’s sport. The usual arguments which surface to defend this situation include: women aren’t interested in sport, only men read the sports pages, women’s sport is of a lower standard, women’s sport is boring, and so on. But these are all circular arguments. The sports pages are designed for a male audience and alienate women in various ways. Targeting an entire section of the newspaper at men while excluding women, and then claiming women aren’t interested, is illogical.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
from Bookmarklet
"What is the message here? If you’re a woman and want to feature in the sports pages of the newspaper, don’t strive to be a successful athlete; date a successful athlete instead."
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Too true. It reminds me of how women have little trouble identifying with a male protagonist so those films draw both genders but if the film has a female protagonist, it's a chick flick. Really speaks to how emotionally stunted many males are that they feel they can't get into something if it's got a female protagonist. Unless, of course, the female is performing in porn or something something that trades entirely on her sexuality.
- Spidra Webster
I don't know any statistics about the relative interests in sports across the two sexes, but assuming that men like sports more and people like to see "athletes" who they can most identify with (e.g. of the same sex) then it's not strange there's a much bigger demand for male sports news, and hence a platform for advertisers. I guess that the people who want to change this situation would do best to campaign for more interest in sports among women. No demand, no product.
- Meryn Stol
A (female?) entrepreneur could easily prove me wrong by launching a women's sports magazine. I wouldn't bet on it however. (but then, I don't have any statistics about potential demand)
- Meryn Stol
Meanwhile, one sports-related ventures targeted solely at women do well: women fitness centers. So it's not like nobody is searching for profitable "niches" (which in case of women fitness is actually very big).
- Meryn Stol
Womens tennis and golf do extremely well, financially, in advertising sponsorship. I also believe many of the premiere events at both the summer and winter Olympics are womens events, again, translating in to dollars from sponsors. As for targeting specific sections of a newspaper to one gender or another, what of the Arts & Leisure section? Lastly, fitness centers play on the self-image of women in that they need to improve their bodies whilst men relax on the couch reading the sports section.
- MVB (Grinch of FF)
MVB, that high sponsorship revenue is interesting - given the relative little media exposure they get (I guess, maybe it's much less skewed as things like basketball and soccer). Maybe a typical female viewer is worth more than a male one. Well Joelle, I say jump on it, and do that magazine/website hybrid.

- Meryn Stol
lol Meryn, good pitch :D I do think that the "women dont like sports as much" is a self fulfilling prophecy - even women who care for a sport or team passionately can be put off by the message. But I agree that the bias is mostly in mainstream, team based competitive sports and not in the more "classic" sports (the ones where nearly nobody makes a lot of money are more equal in reporting and gender bias)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I wonder if this is a problem the world over, or if some women's sports (tennis, figure skating) get more coverage because of a number of factors. Meryn, Sports Illustrated used to have SI for Women earlier this decade, but it folded after only a couple of issues.
- cecily
And some of the best sports writing for women out there is at hoopfeed.com, if you're into Women's Basketball. (and I'm not just saying it because Cheryl Coward is awesome and a personal friend of mine).
- cecily
thanks cecily, I didnt know of that site :D (partly cause I am a basketball dummy)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Meryn you touched on something and I'll expand a little: the womens sports that do well, financially, are individual sports; tennis, golf, figure skating, etc... and not team sports which seem to have a niche following at best. I also think it is wrong-headed to think that an increase in women viewership is needed. Since men are traditionally the overwhelming demographic for consuming sports media it is men to whom marketing needs to focus its attention.

Thanks, everyone! The difficult part is keeping mentally stable during a bout of pain. I'm not handling it as well as I'd like, but I'm working on it. My oncologist put me on morphine (insurance won't pay for oxycontin until I try morphine first), so it should be under control now.

While I agree that Demi Moore is starting to take this too far, at the same time I do have to say that the guy who did the Photoshop work should have at least checked to make sure that things were lined up correctly.

There's nothing more demeaning to females than being called "baby mama." I hate it when things like that get accepted into the vernacular as being either funny, or cool. Hell, it's even considered 'respectful' by some. But what's the truth here? Bottom line is, a guy is basically saying to a girl that he looks at her as someone he wishes to impregnate. Yeah, that's real classy.
- Fleagle
I thought "baby mama" was for a woman you had *already* impregnated but to whom you were not married. I've never heard it used in the way you describe. See also: "baby daddy"
