Peggy Agar
Politics Buzz Obama dodges an important question at an auto plant and calls Peggy Agar, a reporter, "sweetie." But she did get a personal apology from him via voicemail. Swoon! I would never erase my inbox again.

Rape Kits
Culture Buzz These kits help women collect evidence anonymously after a rape, but were always prohibitively expensive. Starting in 2009, all states will be required to pay for anonymous rape kits, even if the woman isn't planning on pressing charges. Well, there's not much good news to give rape victims, but at least now, prosecuting rape cases will get a lot easier starting in 2009. It's nice to see our country progressing in some form.

McCain Hates Women
Politics Buzz Bloggers are urging women to send their resumes to Senator McCain in response to his comment that women need more "education and training" if they want equal pay. After Senate Republicans blocked the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act last Wednesday, McCain (who failed to even show up for the vote) blames the wage gap on lack of education. Since 58% of college graduates are women, maybe McCain needs more education on the issue?

Girl Crush
Culture Buzz Although many would hope this term connoted hot girl-on-girl action, it's something much simpler: adoration by women for women. Audrey Hepburn, Chelsea Clinton, and Gwyneth Paltrow score points with gals for the ease with which they exude class and intelligence. Keep your fingers crossed - if Britney can manage to stay sane and keep her ironic tee shirts free of Spaghetti-O stains, she'll be right up there beside her pseudo-British sisters soon enough.

Aliza Shvarts
Culture Buzz Yale art student Aliza Shvarts' senior art project documents a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminates herself while inducing miscarriages over and over. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process. Finally, something that pro-lifers AND pro-choicers can agree on! Now both sides of the controversial debate can concur that gratuitous abortion art is pretty despicable.
