NewsMax, a Fox News wannabe, is running a poll about Rush Limbaugh and how badly the "hostile and liberal media" has treated him. If you're bored enough, go vote so they can have a small amount of anti-Rush votes (since likely voters will be dittoheads and Ann Coulter fans).

Don't you hate it when the media takes a perfectly derogatory term and sanitizes it by taking the irony out?

The term metrosexual was coined by British journalist Mark Simpson. He developed it in 1994 in a book on male identity and used it in a more recent article published online. He says he meant it as both a "cold observation" and "cheeky satire."

"I used (metrosexual) to describe a kind of narcissistic, insecure masculinity shaped, if not invented, by film, advertising and glossy magazines," said Simpson in an e-mailed response to questions.

The metrosexual, Simpson suggests, is more vain and self-indulgent than he is feminine or sensitive.

Howard Dean calls himself a metrosexual in another attempt in a series to look like he is hip and "with it". Instead, he has revealed his true self: a narcissist and a no-talent ass-clown.

A recent episode of The Simpsons mocked Fox News; Rupert Murdoch sprang into action and tried to sue himself. You couldn't pay for this quality of entertainment.
