What American Journalists Should Be Thankful For

Michelle Malkin writes:

In between breathless condemnations of the Bush administration for stifling its free speech, endless court filings demanding classified and sensitive information from the military and intelligence agencies, and self-pitying media industry confabs bemoaning their hemorrhaging circulations (with the exception of the New York Post), my colleagues in the American media don't have much to time to give thanks. Allow me:

Give thanks we don't live in Bangladesh, where you can be put on trial for writing columns supporting Israel and condemning Muslim violence….

Give thanks we don't live in Egypt, where bloggers have been detained by the government for criticizing Islam and exposing the apathy of Cairo police to sexual harassment of women….

Give thanks we don't live in Sudan, where editors can lose their heads for not kowtowing to the government line….

Read the parts I left out and all the rest at What American journalists should be thankful for.

"Distorted" Standard of Beauty

If you know a young lady who is desperate to look like a model, show her this brief movie. Not only is the model worked on by experts, she is actually Photoshopped! Her neck is elongated, her eyes are enlarged and her face is made slender.

Dove has the movie.
