On France Once Again Proves Superiority Of Its Culture
That made my skin crawl but I didn't want to be the jerk who pointed it out. So, thanks :).

On PSA: A Benefit for RightRides, the Get-Home-Safe Program for Ladies & Gays
I used to volunteer for Right Rides back when it was "Right Rides for Women's Safety". Now it is "Right Rides for Everyone's Safety except Straight Dudes". This just seems considerably less awesome.

On Terrible, Awesome Vampire Show Still Only Good Thing on Odd Network
It scares me that I couldn't immediately tell if that column was in earnest or meant to be humorous.

On Spectre Of Size 12 Woman Having Sex Forces Fox And ABC To Suddenly Realize They Have Standards
I am also wearing that bra, and much agreement with regards to magical properties.
So many times I go into LB in search of a pair of pants or a new shirt and wind up walking out with about seventeen new sets of fun underthings. It's nice to see that they are actually advertising them.

On Going Outside: St. Patrick’s Day Festivities, Hoboken, NJ, March 6
True. It's in New *Jersey*. The only way I can get people to come to a dinner party is bribery and lying ("of COURSE there will be a train ready to go when you leave").

On "Going Postal" Could Become Quaint Term By 2020
I mean, slower service?! Really?! I already get one bundle every month or so, usually containing several months worth of bills (most old, all of them already paid online), Christmas cards (still getting these in March!), and invitations for events long past. If, god forbid, someone sends me something larger than my mailbox I get the "sorry we missed you" card even if I've been sitting in my apartment all day, and they make me come out to the fucking post office to get it where I'm subjected to the miserable belligerent attitudes of the unhelpful staff. The only thing that comes with any degree of reliability is junk mail, and the postman seems to think it's okay to just dump all junk mail for the building in one mailbox.
I am the type of person who loves sending and receiving letters, and I still have penpals who I write to longhand. Except now I just Fedex everything. It's an extra $10, but it saves me far more than that in time and irritation.
My vote is a boycott of the USPS until they stop sucking. If they don't, fuck them. I will put an ad on Craigslist and get someone traveling to wherever I'm sending my mail to hand deliver it. It would probably get there faster.

On "Going Postal" Could Become Quaint Term By 2020
"Hi, I'm the Post Master General...I don't understand why we're losing all this business to FedEx and UPS! What's that? You need a stamp? That'll be $3.55! Also, we're only delivering the mail on Wednesdays now, so it'll get there in three weeks."

On Odd Man Rush: Team Canada Settles For Gold
Being from Buffalo, I am obligated (on penalty of death) to hate Brett Hull with every fiber of my being as long as we both shall live, Amen. There have been so many fantastic American hockey players, Brett Hull doesn't come close to deserving the title.

Seconded. He is such a whiny bitch. I hope that he gets all his teeth knocked out when the Pens play Buffalo tomorrow.

On A Brief Christmas Memory
In 1987 I got Bert and Ernie dolls, and danced in circles for hours to Rockin Robin in the tape player.
This year I'm spending Christmas alone in an airport in Switzerland, missing even the people I only "manage to tolerate".
