Wednesday evening roundup

Practically every woman on the planet--particularly every woman who writes--is in mourning. Take Jennifer Weiner:

I am heartbroken that she's gone, that she won't be blogging her funny stories, or making more movies or publishing more essays. I only hope she had some inkling as to all of the women who grew up reading her and believing they could become writers because of the stories she told.

Even Jennifer Rubin sings her praises. I'll just stop linking now, but there's no shortage of links. We owe that woman the world.

The Fast and Furious scandal is not the scandal most media is portraying it to be. Stay away from high-protein, low-fat diets because they're bad for you.
