MCCULLOUGH: I’m sick of the swine flu
 2 Comments
Last Updated: 7:21 PM 11/19/09 - I’m over the swine flu. I don’t mean that literally. As far as I can tell, I haven’t had the swine flu — although if history is any indicator, the fact that I’m writing about it will ensure that I get it soon. (Full Story) |

MCCULLOUGH: What if you had an election and no one came?
0 Comments
Last Updated: 5:22 PM 11/05/09 - Well, I was wrong. I know it’s hard to believe, but it happens. Last week, I predicted that people were fed up enough with the state of the world that they would turn out in droves at the polls, that this off-year would be different. No such luck. (Full Story) |

MCCULLOUGH: Politicians may feel voters’ frustration
Last Updated: 7:32 PM 10/29/09 - Off-year elections rarely garner the attention that votes in congressional and presidential years do. Voter turnouts in the past have been dismal, usually less than 10 percent. Somehow I think this year will be different. (Full Story) |

Plus, I love the night. There’s a comfort in it to me somehow. It’s more peaceful. I guess because so many folks are afraid of it, we night owls thrive in it.

MCCULLOUGH: Ladies, don’t be a size zero
Last Updated: 8:02 PM 10/21/09 - I bet it’s tough to be a woman sometimes. The world constantly tells you how you must look. From the time you’re old enough to look at a catalog or a magazine cover it’s beaten into your head that you must have a waist this skinny. Your curves must measure this in one place, but this in another. Legs must be long and sexy, just like your eyelashes. Your hair had better look like the star of the month’s, and don’t you dare pay less than $200 for that new ’do either, cheapskate. And while you’re at it, at least part of your wardrobe had better be designer. Otherwise, every female from wrinkly little babies to wrinkly old ladies risks not being Good Enough. Two episodes this week illustrate the lengths to which designers will go to make you think you’re not Good Enough. (Full Story) |
