cityfile · 06/02/09 10:19AM"A British research firm is reporting that the average weight gained during pregnancy is 14 pounds—and that's by the babies' fathers." The men involved in the study reported they added two inches, on average, to their waistlines and a quarter indicated that they gained the weight out of a "desire to make their partner feel better about her own weight gain." And yet only 30 percent joined their partner in a diet after the baby arrived. Typical. [NYT]
'My Dad Was Zodiac Killer,' Says Unfortunate Lady
Hamilton Nolan · 04/30/09 09:43AMWashington Post Editor's Dad Has Anti-Bush Blog
Ryan Tate · 07/23/08 06:14AMYou remember Marcus Brauchli? First, short-lived editor of the Wall Street Journal under the reign of Rupert Murdoch and now the newly-installed executive editor of the Washington Post? Well, it's a good thing Brauchli finally escaped the Journal, because Paul Gigot and his gang of conservative editorialists must have given him unending grief over his father's awesome left-wing blog! We were just alerted to the existence of the site, but the dad, a lawyer and contributor to sites like Spot-On and Counterpunch, has been at it for some time, posting items steadily since 2005. Officially, Christopher Brauchli's site is about more than Bush — "political commentary and satire," the tagline reads — but, more often than not, the president makes an appearance. And you know what? The site is pretty damn funny! In fact, I'll take Christopher Brauchli's posts over most of the op-ed content in American newspapers, the Post and Journal included. After the jump, a sampling.
