"Little Lady" Katie Couric Continues To Make Big News
Katie Couric Flies Her Freak Feminist Flag

Plus, she's not afraid to say she's a feminist. That counts for a lot, in my book.

Oh, I see what the Washington Post is doing here. They want to congratulate her while also acknowledging the fact that she's short. Also, so that it doesn't seem like they're writing a Big Serious Article on Li'l Katie Couric, they are subtly undermining her from the start.
I GET IT, WASHINGTON POST, I GET IT.

Also, I unabashedly love her.

Apparently energy beverages like Red Bull were cool during the housing boom, but now everyone just wants to relax during these tough times. I've been drinking it to cure my insomnia and its actually working. Obvs. the kind Lil Wayne drinks is the codeine-promethazine mix, but the bottled kind is just rosehips and melatonin. I say this because I read somewhere that Couric has struggled with insomnia in the past due to being on the crazy sleeping schedule during the Today show years.

That being said, Bgirl_Hamster is withdrawing from the America's Sweetheart competition.

FreakFeminist FlagMegan, these two things are not on a par with each other, and I suspect you know that. The noose thing is more on par with progressives who talked about wanting to rape Sarah Palin, or the need to kill Hillary Clinton.
Remarking on the appearance of female news anchors and politicians isn't maybe/ maybe not sexist, it's sexist. It fits the established cultural pattern of oppression. It's an additional criteria that only applies to women, that they walk that tightrope. "Fluffy" and perma-grin" or "strident bitch" and "unemployed"
I've never quite understood what feminism means to you, as you often sound to me like a post feminist with the "it's all relative" "Jon Favreau is a hottie so lighten up" stuff. I'm glad reproductive rights matter to you, but they'll always be up for debate within the system that says our bodies are not our property and we exist for the pleasure of men.
