Pundits and conservatives are asking, "Where are the feminists and why aren't they standing up for Governor Sarah Palin?" BlogHer Contributing Editor Suzanne Reisman has the answer. Are feminists standing up against sexist attacks being thrown at Palin? Should they be?

Liveblogging RNC: Cindy McCain & Laura Bush

by Denise at 4:58pm Mon, 1 Sep 2008 under Politics & News, Election 2008, CONVENTIONS, REPUBLICANS, What's Hot?
I'll be liveblogging Mrs McCain and Mrs Bush live at the RNC. Mrs McCain is proud to stand next to Mrs Bush. She urges us to join together to help states in need. As her husband says, "this is the time to take off our republican hats and put on our American hats." Go to http://www.causegreater.com to help aid those effected by Gustav. Now, Laura Bush.... Americans are known for coming to the aid of their fellow citizens...

Is Wii Fit Helping Me Get Fit?

For me, the answer to that question is, heck yea (or it was until it got struck by lightning and died.) Will it help you get fit? It might but there are a lot of things to consider before you shell out the money for the game (or the system if you don't already have a Wii.) One of the first things I think you should consider before buying the Wii Fit is how you'll feel about the weigh in and the BMI components of the game. I'm anti-scale in general and I take issue with being "forced" to use the scale and/or BMI tools in order to do the regular check ins.
