Ann Coulter: Gingrich’s Past Affairs Make Him Like “A Hunchback”
2:25 pm, March 31st | by Amy Tennery
Admittedly, I can’t think of a lot of people who’d consider Newt Gingrich’s multiple affairs to be quote unquote good career moves. But Ann Coulter, during a segment on Fox & Friends this morning, took the criticism one step further: She claimed his past romantic dalliances liken him to a “hunchback.” Oh my.

1:00 pm, March 31st | by Amy Tennery
If you’re a budget-conscious NCAA fan, you’ll be watching the Final Four from your couch or an over-crowded bar, perhaps. But what about the Jane Doughs out there who are more like Jane Bakeries (it’s a stretch, I know, okay)? How much would they need to shell out to get a seat, live and in-person?

“Girls Around Me” App Confirms That Foursquare Is A Terrible Idea For Women
11:12 am, March 31st | by Amy Tennery
A new iPhone app “Girls Around Me” allows you to utilize Foursquare data and find out… which “girls” are around you (hence the name). While it sounds like an app for pedophiles, it’s actually aimed at helping of-age users who are “in the mood for love, or just after a one-night stand,” with a woman. My goodness.
When you log into the app, it registers all the women (and men, actually, but “Boys Around Me” sounds a little weirder for some reason — I wonder why!) who have checked in on Foursquare in your area. And then it also shows you all their publicly shared Facebook photos.

6:15 pm, March 30th | by Laura Donovan
I don’t know how familiar you are with journalism, but it’s a well known fact that the profession doesn’t lend itself to large paychecks. It’s a worthwhile sacrifice for me because I do what I enjoy most all day every day, but salaries in this industry can be difficult to survive on. That’s why I don’t understand why Sarah Tressler, a 29-year-old society columnist for the Houston Chronicle, is receiving backlash and lost her job for holding a side job as a stripper.
In an article published earlier this week in the newspaper for which Tressler writes, colleague Richard Connelly outed his colleague as a reporter by day, “stripper by night.”
Katy Perry, Naomi Wolf And The Real Problem With Women’s Combat Equality
5:15 pm, March 30th | by Amy Tennery
I’m all for women on the front lines of battle. Claims that all women somehow aren’t strong enough to serve in combat are absurd — particularly in our age of digitized, tech-heavy warfare.
So why does Katy Perry’s controversial video for the song “Part of Me,” in which she enlists in the Marines as an act of female defiance, leave me feeling conflicted?
