Hating Sarah Palin

Alaska's own Sarah P. ran for Vice President in the 2008 elections. She's bold, she's beautiful, and she's loathed by many men and women alike. It's been said that John McCain might've actually had a chance at the presidency if it weren't for her. And I whole heartedly agree.

An idol to some, many women despise America's most famous hockey mom for a number of reasons ranging from her lack of experience, her faltering historical knowledge, her uber conservatism, or her famous fall shopping spree.

She's an embarrassment to our gender, but the point is, we recognize that. Less than 90 years ago women couldn't even vote, and now that there was a woman to vote for, we didn't feel pressured to vote for her just because of her sex.

Having a woman in office is less important than having someone in line with our values. We're strong enough as the suppressed gender that has come a long way, but still has a ways to go, to understand that Sarah Palin's gender is secondary to who she really is.

Dark chocolate, exercise and sex

Your body releases the same lovable I'm-so-happy endorphins whether you're eating dark chocolate, exercising or having sex.

So when you need a good pick-me-up, you have quite a range of activities to choose from depending on whether you want to eat, get in shape or get intimate.

Though a vigorous love making session that incorporates a few chocolatey treats will get the job done too. Would that be triple the happiness? 

Medical School

I've always sucked at science, particularly biology. But apparently an increasing number of women are not sucking at biology.

According to AAMC, the percent of first year med students that are women has increased from 43.3% to 47.8% between 1997 and 2008 while men have decreased from 56.7% to 52.2%.

Hopefully this will lead to a higher female selection of gynos. Their male counterparts are just as effective, but I'd rather show mine to someone who has their own. At least they can tell me first hand on why it does or doesn't do things, and if it should or shouldn't do them.

The Frisky

I love this blog. The Frisky has the best of everything-sex, relationships, celebrity gossip, style and random tidbits that make the day a little bit more interesting. 

There are plenty of blogs out there that cover said topics, but this one has a compelling mix of personal accounts and journalistic articles that seem to go beyond the tired concepts and promote honest camaraderie among women when it comes to dating, independence and careers. They update several times an hour, so it never gets boring. Plus CNN often links to it, which is how I found it in the first place. That's pretty awesome.

Light kisses on facial features other than lips

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good make-out session as much as the next girl, but quick kisses on the cheek, nose and forehead can be just as powerful.

Making out is passionate, but quick kisses are secure. They remind you that you're protected, adored and more than just a sexy playmate. 

Fiona from "Burn Notice"

USA Network's inexplicably invincible outcasted spy, super sexy Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) comes with a feisty female friend Fiona Glennane (Gabrielle Anwar).

An ex-IRA affiliate, she's now a successful freelancer in arms dealing, tracking, combat and a hell of a lot of explosives.

With super model good looks, intelligence that would leave Bill Gates speechless and the ability to catch hardened criminals for bounty in a bikini top and heels, Fiona is pretty awesome.

Not to mention she's the only one who seems to be able to kick her ex-boyfriend Michael's ass.

While Fiona spends the entirety of the first season trying to get Michael to sleep with her, when he risks his life for selfish reasons, she calls off their relationship on the grounds that she won't be anyone's second choice--even if it's second to themselves.

Rubber ducks that are actually vibrators

Add a couple batteries and some good vibrations to the best childhood bath toy for some grown up fun. Sure neck massagers, electric toothbrushes and really powerful cell phones could get the job done as well, but the duckies are just much more adorable.

And finding a hiding spot isn't a problem either, just stash them on the shelf next to your hair products to add a little spunk to your decor in plain sight.
