What, you thought next Tuesday's primary was the most interesting conflict underway in Ohio? How wrong you'd be! The lingerie war will be better-financed, affect the contents of your underwear drawer for decades to come and has the potential to finally put an end to tyrannical era era of the contoured bra we all hate. On one side of the tussle is Victoria's Secret. With over 1,000 stores, Victoria's Secret is entrenched, but rapidly losing ground. Some are wary of its recent embrace of "ultra-femininity." Some bemoan that its values have changed since its heyday in the nineties. Some bemoan the effects of its agressively free-trade policies. And some are just sick of the paradigm and worldview Victoria's Secret and its associated catalogs, scented body creams and porntacular fashion shows hath wrought. Either way, Victoria's Secret is promising drastic change from the current administration. NOW COMES THE DIRTY SEXY NEW NEWCOMER, Gilly Hicks.

Gilly Hicks is a fresh new lingerie chain that claims to be from "Sydney." (It is not from Sydney! It is from Columbus, Ohio. What, do they hate America?) Either way, Gilly Hicks comes with a host of attractive promises — like a "bra library" featuring 40 styles — and from the looks of its website, it is much more likely to produce a better variety of non-padded bras. But it has some un-attractive (and allegedly racist!) backers: Abercrombie & Fitch. Also if you go to the website and watch their video you will feel kind of dirty because it is total porn.

Also if you got half of those references, uh, you're a nerd.

<![CDATA[BREAKING OMG: Did John McCain Bone Blonde Lobbyist?!]]>

  • Maybe no.. But he would have, if loyal advisers had not protected him from himself! Loyal advisers who are now telling the Times all about it? (Loyal advisers who wish he had left the GOP? Seems poss!) Vicki Iseman. A youthful-looking 40. Pretty! Deny deny deny. Gary Hart was his groomsman, you know! The "miracle" Huckabee's been waiting for? [NYT]
  • Let's be clear, Bill O'Reilly doesn't want to "lynch" Michelle Obama. Not until he has enough "evidence." He will "track it down." [Media Matters]
  • Tucker Carlson just said he thinks she's got a "chip on her shoulder." Not that there's anythign wrong with that.
  • All she was talking about was the record turnout! [CBS News]
  • And let's go back to the chip thing for a sec. As Chris Matthews so helpfully pointed out this morning, slavery was in the Constitution. She grew up bound and determined to succeed, flung herself into an Ivy League bastion of entrenched privilege and classism and survived. Better than can be said for some of us but whatevs. [WSJ]
  • So...stats on Cindy McCain: only child, affluent, high school cheerleader, rodeo queen, Theta at USC, met John at a military reception when he was still married. Married him, several miscarriages, three kids, volunteer work in disaster areas, SCANDALE...stress stress ... can't ... find ... receipts...PILLHEAD!...stealing pills from volunteer work. Adopts Bangladeshi child, two kids join military, innocuous. Gratuitously cold and snippy re Michelle! (Also gratuitously blonde; neither here nor there.) [Wikipedia]
  • Ann Coulter's credit score = patriotic? [Page Six]
  • Hillary is actually better off for losing nine states in a row because now all the indecisive ladies of Texas and Ohio will feel sorry for her and vote for her. [Slate]
  • Also: Hillary hunts, is a better shot than you know whose eighth cousin! [NY Daily News]
  • Another union full of Birkenstock wearing trust fund thespians goes endorses Obama. [AP]
  • Jesse Jackson doesn't necessarily want Hillary to quit, he just wants her entire campaign staff to quit. [Politico]
  • I want to have his babies of the day: Jon Stewart is on Larry King. (Actually Jon was my first-ever celeb crush, when I was 13 or 14 and he was in Seventeen promoting "You Wrote It, You Watch It." At the time I was 5'4 so I thought he actually seemed tall enough. Le sigh.)
