Slate Magazine's daily godsend Today's Paper's always provides me with a useful summary of what the major papers have to say about the world. And sometimes my brother writes for them, so I like to read it.

Anyway. This morning I learned that:
"Following on the success of this summer's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the Post's Style section brainstorms some potential spin-offs, such as, "Straight Eye for the Queer Guy: Gay man dons Dockers, eats fast food, watches football and starts scratching." Or, "Lesbian Eye for the Straight Girl: Girly-girl really, really improves her softball game."

heee. A quick breeze over to the Washington Post reveals some others gems

"Conservative Eye for the Liberal Guy. Republican campaign operatives school flailing Democrat in how to win an election."

"Vegan Eye for the Ted Nugent Guy. Rock star/hunting enthusiast learns to appreciate tofu casserole surprise."

"Queer Eye for the Queer Guy. In which we address the hitherto-unmentioned problem of gay guys who are fat and slobby, too."

I grew up liking the Washington Post best because of its extensive comics section. Now I have to say it is gems like that that keep it at the top of my "best newspaper" rankings.
