Lost fans, who are meditating on the Lost Supper images for clues, are probably more concerned about whether President Obama's State of the Union will sully the hallowed first episode of the alleged "last" Lost season with preemption.

Persuading to our daughters that heroine Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga: New Moon isn't someone "any young girl should aspire to be" may be far easier than dealing with Belle de Jour.
Bella's boyfriend is a pathetic, nonexistent vampire. Bella doesn't exist either, for that matter, no matter how hard twihards may wish.
Whereas Dr. Brooke Magnanti is "a respected specialist in developmental neurotoxicology and cancer epidemiology in a hospital research group in Bristol," England. She proclaims herself to have worked as a prostitute, to have blogged it anonymously (until she "outed" herself) at Belle de Jour and to be the author of the bestselling books about her now not-so-secret life.
Sister Carrie was a scandal of a Theodore Dreiser novel because the heroine wasn't punished for her indiscretions. Whereas Maganti is a towering success. Her employer stands by her (What? You wanted her fired and maybe back on the street?).
We'll think of something.
For/Against benches called attention to Washington, D.C., area artist Linda Hesh.
