today my vote goes to melissa mcewan, the drooling and psychotic moderator of "shakespeare's sister", a political blog. she asked an interesting, if not terribly original, hypothetical question -- what if you woke up one morning to discover you were the opposite gender? -- and then, after having inserted a bunch of caveats for transsexuals, offers this personal reflection:

If I were a straight man— If I woke up a straight man tomorrow, I believe I would go utterly mad. I fear that being a straight man even for a day would expose to me the comprehensive scope of my inequality in a way I have never been, a grotesque vision from which I don't believe I'd ever fully recover.


um. what? you sure you need to become a straight man in order to go utterly mad?

and whatever happened to ashley todd, anyway? we all know where joe the plumber ended up.
