All posterboard signs are created equal

Great story in The Post today about author Dante Moore and his book about relationships:

Read his book, ladies, and you can snag a catch just like him. Your responsibilities include cooking, staying skinny, wearing sexy things around the house and doing whatever your man tells you to do (because, Moore writes, "Here's a little secret, ladies: men never really ask for anything. They command. . . . And believe me, what you won't do, ten broads around the corner will.")

Uh ... okay. Here's my hold up. Every time I read about a dude who writes a book like this I get the feeling it's all talk and the author, or perhaps more appropriately, his followers, still wake up in an empty bed every morning.

Here's something that would make Thomas Jefferson especially proud of The University: banning signs at football games. This seems like a perfectly acceptable discussion for Clay Jenkinson.

I've received a couple of comments since my post earlier this week about my addiction to weather maps this time of year. One reason I like The Weather Channel map is the sense of ambiguity it provides. Will it hit us? Maybe. Maybe not. This map eliminates some of those questions.

Ahhh! Life is good for Dana Milbank who explains it is good to be part of the elite media.
