OMG wanna go!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I kept misreading this as "Smarm-bot". Certainly gives it a whole 'nother meaning.

Obama (D-Ill.) has been having quiet conversations with colleagues and friends about a prospective White House run, but a key concern is whether his wife, Michelle, would support it and whether he could manage the time away from their two young daughters.

Has anyone read Burlesque and the Art of the Teese / Fetish and the Art of the Teese by Dita Von Teese and Bronwyn Garrity? Any good?

I read it in B&N, and quite liked it. It is a bit fluffy, but sumptuous to read.

One of the local big name burlesque women teaches a burlesque exercise class. One of these days I'll get my ass up on a Sunday and go.
