Things that make you go, "hmm..."

1. Last night, I watched The Daily Show (don't know if it was new or not -- I tuned in halfway through). Anyway, Martha Stewart was the guest... in black leather pants. Martha. Stewart. In. Black. Leather. Pants. I turned it off after a few minutes, but didn't go to bed right away. You try sleeping after seeing that.

2. A tattoo parlor in town has this sign posted: "Tattoos are forever / Life is not / So get one now / Before you rot." To quote Sal: "Class...you just have to be born with it, I guess."

3. Last week, I wrote what may be my favorite lede ever, for our paper's Political Notebook column. (The top item is mine -- the one about the yard sign.) Now really... no sexism there? Anyway, again, all together this time... "Class..."

Tattoos are forever/Life is not/Yet tattooed men/Are often shot/Burma Shave. How ironic!

Thanks Angelina! Nothing validates my "Class Hypothesis" like a trip to the tattoo parlor.

Not being a journalist, I'm not sure what a "lede" is. But I assume it was the playful line about "riding up" and "sheer sexistm." Brilliant! It's good to see that even editors have senses of humor.

Now I have a question: Will the panty-hosed mayor *run* again?
