Let me preface this by saying that I quite like Laura Bennet. She’s the best damn thing that ever passed through the annals of Project Runway. But in her most recent contribution to The Daily Beast, she falls down the all too familiar slippery slope from pushing for gender equality to pathetic grrrl power irrationality.

There’s nothing like the smell of some good savory food cooking up on the stove after a long, hard day. It’s another thing when that savory food smell is cooking up under your clothes.
With that said, new research in Switzerland found that women’s armpits actually smell like onions. There’s some science-y chemical processes involved, but the fact of the matter is we’re one step away from being a walking Bloomin’ Onion.

The Snuggie is that blanket with sleeves (some may even call it a backwards robe) that is all over the infomercials and every single place you turn on the Internet… including here.
For those who have somehow missed out on this vital advancement in pop culture, take a gander at the infomercial:
It keeps you warm even when you’re drinking tea! changing the TV channel! rooting for a football team out in public where others can see how stupid you look!
But while I was doing the requisite Snuggie research, I came across a startling fact: The Snuggie is a fraud.

What a sad state of affairs. A new study by Weight Watchers found that women fantasize more about food than sex. Of course, it’s possible the Weight Watchers demographic is skewed towards those more overly-food-obsessed than average, but the problem remains.
The study’s results show that while 58 percent of women surveyed think about sex at least 10 times a day, an impressive 70 percent admitted to have more desires about food.

If there was any question whether Mother Nature was a bitch, this satellite image from yesterday proves it.
Ms. Nature decided to dump snow, sleet and general unpleasant slush on the Northeast, but at least she did it with style. Right? Right?
I’m sure the residents of those dear states have a little something to say about where Mother Nature should be kissing. [Hint: Their asses].
(Thanks Gothamist!)

It was about time someone combined America’s two favorite things: President Obama and Beyonce’s Single Ladies.
Enter the Barack Obama Single Ladies spoof.

Tragedy of tragedies – We’re getting screwed on Girl Scout cookies this year.
The economy ruins everything.
The Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. have announced that there will be fewer cookies in boxes of Thin Mints, Do-si-does and Tagalongs. Additionally, Lemon Chalet Creme cookies will be smaller in size.

So these pictures have been popping up on the Internet for a few months now, but I just couldn’t bring myself to post them… until now.
They’re “bikini pants” and they are basically low-rise jeans with a built-in, sticking-out thong. It’s what every girl needs.

First there was the Puppy Cam, a livestream of dogs playing that was crack to puppy addicts like me. Now there’s the Kitty Cam 2. Somehow I must have missed out on Kitty Cam 1, but rest assured, I’m all over this version.
It’s nauseating cuteness that you just can’t look away from.

When you choose morning talk shows over your own impeachment trial, it’s silly to think that anyone’s going to cut you slack, but that’s exactly the tactic uber-coiffed Chi-Town disgrace Rod Blagojevich has taken. Appearing on Good Morning America and The View this morning, Blagojevich actually managed to out-douche himself, saying, “I’m an innocent man who has not done anything wrong… for me to resign would be to admit that I did something wrong, which I did not do.” Um right, because selling a Senate seat isn’t wrong.
