Wondering what all of Rush Limbaugh’s fuss about “single, white women, overeducated” is about? Or who on earth calls published writers “authorette” and “babe”?
Yeah, me too.

and over at @DailyKos, the latest on Rush&Me http://ow.ly/9v4dg
one quick correction on this post up at DailyKos about Rush&Me: I”m 35, everyone. Perfectly old enough to have written a book. I wish i’d had it together to do this in my 20s, but I simply did not.

“What’s it like to work at Walmart?”
I have lost count of the number of times I have been asked this question. At first, my working-class roots got the better of me. I’d smile icily to whatever well-intentioned person had asked the question, and ask earnestly, “Have you ever had a crummy job? It’s like that.”
@RushLimbaugh I’m proud to have put myself through college to get my BA. Five jobs at once was rough, but it was worth it. #Overeducated

Holy Ted Nugent, We’re All Foodies Now

A few years ago I bought a cookbook titled “Kill It and Grill It” for my boyfriend, a Yale grad who hunted and fished. Admittedly, I offered the gift ironically. I’d been drawn to it by its cover photo of ’70s rocker Ted Nugent and his wife, Shemane, each clad in a denim vest and clutching a rifle and knife, respectively. As a native of rural Michigan, I saw the image as both funny and dismaying. They kind of look like families I grew up with, I thought. But who buys a cookbook with a gun on it?
