Hey! Wait a second…I thought this was a POLITICAL blog!
I know I’ve been a little light on politics, viagra sale drugstore lately, online but I needed the break after the election.
Plus, if you read the little blurb in the upper-right-hand corner, I never meant From Where I Sit to be just about politics.

More proof that the bloggers at Huffington Post have literally no idea what they’re talking about
Only someone who has never worked in marketing could think that the trends in advertising are sexist against women:
This was a big year for women: The first serious female presidential candidate, tadalafil buy the first predominately female state senate, best cialis online the first female Top Chef. Yet the advertising world has not caught up to the advances of half our population and continues to use stereotypes and violence to prey on our most vile desires. Here are the worst of them–the trends that won’t die despite our cultural outrage, unhealthy and personal boredom.
Yes, the ads she spotlights are egregious, but they are also the exception.
Anyone who works in advertising knows all the real sexism is aimed at men. White men are the last group in America than you can still safely make fun of. The doltish dad, the hapless husband, and the moronic male are all stock characters in advertising.
Yes, there are occasionaly some ads aimed exclusively at men (mostly for beer) that are degrading to women, but since women buy the majority of products in America most marketers try very hard not to offend their customers.

Scratched my back: Letters in Bottles
It’s a real pleasure to be able to point all you folks to Letters in Bottles.
Letters is a group blog started by a few students at the University of Wisconsin, cialis canada ailment Madison a few years ago.
Since then, the authors have moved on to new adventures and taken us with them.
As they say on their site:
Today we feature: A Peace Corps. volunteer returned from Azerbaijan, a law student in New Orleans, a student of Engineering in Madison, and a veteran of the Iraq War currently on active duty.
This is a seriously great blog. One I read every day, and among the handful that I get excited about when I see they’ve made a new post.
I wish I had been 1/2 as insightful, sophisticated, and serious as these guys are when I was their age.
Hell, I wish I was now.

Scratched my back: Gravelle’s Daily Scoff
Gravelle’s Daily Scoff is a news-based humor blog.
It’s almost like having The Onion right here in Wisconsin. (OK, discount cialis clinic The Onion is from Wisconsin, but they moved to New York City with the other media elite and now we don’t talk about them.)
J. Gravelle, the conservative author of Gravelle’s Daily Scoff is distinguised from your run-of-the-mill bloggers in Wisconsin by two things:
- He’s very funny.
- He’s one of this year’s community columnists for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
If sarcastic humor is your thing (and it just might be considering you’re reading From Where I Sit), you should definitely check out J’s writing.
Don’t miss your daily dose of the Daily Scoff. Add J to your RSS-reader or blogroll, today.

Scratched my back: The Asian Badger
I just realized my posts so far, viagra buy recipe today, have been rather female-centric.
(I must be channeling an adolescent boy, or something.)
To add some balance, I now link you to one of the most testosterone-laden blogs I read: The Asian Badger.
The author is definitely conservative. His politics are to the right of mine, for example. But, it’s less the blog that makes me think “testosterone” than the man behind it.
When the Asian Badger enters a bar, it’s like John Wayne is back from the dead. I mean, even this guy’s swagger has a swagger. He’s a professional pilot, a crack shot, and a riveting storyteller.
There’s something about the Asian Badger which makes you think he could fix the engine on a DC-3, fight off cannibals, and kiss the girl; all while drinking a good scotch and smoking a fine cigar.
So go read his blog and while you’re there, try not to piss him off. ;)
(As a side note, having your back scratched by a Badger can be very dangerous. Don’t try it at home.)

Scratched my back: The Reasonable Progressive
The Reasonable Progressive is another new discovery for me.
While a lot of my readers will think “reasonable progressive” is a contradiction in terms, cialis sales view this left-leaning blog by a Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney is a fun, find friendly, and fascist-free exercise in free speech.
Seriously, how can you not love a blog that has this as its “About” page:
You let me down, man. Now I don’t believe in nothin’ no more. I’m going to law school!
I’ve added her to my RSS reader and my blogroll.

Scratched my back – did I miss anyone?
I believe this is everyone who responded to my offer to post about anyone who posted about me on their blogs.
If I’ve missed anyone, cialis sales pills please add a comment to this thread and I’ll give you the exposure you so richly deserve. And to all of you who didn’t join our merry experiment, sildenafil I guess you’ll just have to expose yourself. ;)
