As a Homage to mymagro’s blog (where our protagonist was able to lost 9 lbs of water weight in a week by subsisting on fruit, not drinking enough water, and becoming dehydrated), here’s what my 5’9 200lb Brutal Woman self does so I can walk confidently down the street with the knowledge that my right […]

In case you didn’t catch it, Michael Moore is covering the Republican National Convention for USA Today. Entertaining stuff. Hanging out around the convention, I’ve encountered a number of the Republican faithful who aren’t delegates. They warm up to me when they don’t find horns or a tail. Talking to them, I discover they’re like
