My favorite right-wing media whore, Tucker Carlson, has just made my trip home in September better. He has agreed to be on the new season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and the show starts 3 days before I come home. I’ve never watched this show before, but I’m definitely having my parents tape that one and then watching all the eps that air while I’m in the States. I have this weird, completely unreasonable crush on him. I think it has something to do with his floppy hair and bow-tie. I really hope they put him in some sort of shiny, spangled, spandexy unitard, but let him keep the bow-tie on.

I don’t usually agree with much that comes out of his mouth, particularly when he was on Crossfire, but I just can’t help the attraction… Sick, I know.

Does anyone happen to share my inexplicable crush? No? It’s just me then? Hey, admitting that I have a problem is the first step toward recovery, right?

As painful as this is for me to admit, I like Paris Hilton's song and video for 'Stars Are Blind'. A lot. So much that I would consider purchasing her CD when it comes out. I think that all the studying has finally driven me insane. Though it is nice to see her "work" for a living instead of just prance around in lingerie, I mean teeny-tiny little dresses, from party to party, spending Rick and Kathy's hotel money. You go, Paris.

Manpris must be stopped! Men, I know it's tempting to show a little bit of calf now that it's getting downright hot outside, but please resist. Wearing manpris (i.e. capri pants for men) makes you look stupid. I promise. It's not a good look.

Unfortunately, mirrors seem to be lacking in the houses of many men this year. What other explanation could there possibly be for the sheer ridiculousness of this trend? As a woman, I'm asking you all to please wear either regular-length trousers or proper shorts- not some amalgamation of the two that makes you look like you can't dress yourself. Much appreciated.
