cootie alert
In response to dumb comments made by some penis-equipped members of the blogosphere, it is offically Estrogen Week at Ilyka's place. I assume us males are still allowed in, however, and she is working on a series of roundups comprising of the best posts from a bunch of female bloggers this week. Which, of course, is pretty damn good and well worth your time.

I was going to write a whole big thing on my opinion on why there are fewer "successful" female poli-bloggers, but, eh, who wants to hear that. Maybe when I have more time, but they do a better job of it than I could anyway.

So instead, go click thru some of the stuff over there, and visit Ilyka often. For some reason, she apparently reads this drivel, but don't let that stop you. She's a great writer and a clear observer, both valuable (and sometimes rare) commodities.

Which is to say, she's pretty smart. You know, for a girl.

Also, break out the cootie sheilds, here's my little contribution to estrogen week. A few other "smart girls": Moxie, Rosemary, Army of Mom, Donna of those frigging pajama people, 1/2 of the Yuppies of Zion, Kate, Joan of Seven Inches of Sense (whom I Just visited for the first time tonight and am allready impressed with), and two of my personal favorites along with Ilyka and some of the very best bloggers out there, Sadie and Michele.  ¶ 5:42 PM
