In a political season that has been marked by the theme of change, Illinois's 3rd Congressional District has become one of the battle grounds over what the Democratic Party might look like going forward in 2008. Critics of the incumbent, Dan Lipinski, are unhappy with his opposition to abortion rights and stem cell research, and his siding with moderate Republicans on the war in Iraq and domestic spying.

Some guy followed a woman off the Red Line, threatened to "slash her throat" if she made any noise, stole her money and her iPod, and sexually assaulted her. There was a witness, so there's a good sketch of him here. People are pissed because holiday trees are up in some suburbs...

Thank you, Chicago Tribune. Thank you. Thank you for exposing the world to the truth about penis size and g-spots. Oh, wait, was that you, or was that a back issue of Mademoiselle in seventh grade? We can't remember. Either way, we're getting the phrase "it ain't the meat, it's the motion" tattooed on ourself later today. Best song ever.

And then there are the photos that make us freak out. The ones we want to print out and get tattooed on ourselves, hang up in our houses, use as our wedding invitations, and just never stop looking at.
