Of course, the political scene has provided lots of fodder, but I don&#8217;t have any unique insight that hasn&#8217;t already been covered by thousands of others.  So I&#8217;m falling back to an area that is also overworked in a net with a large population of adolescent, or adolescent-minded, males.  The slight twist is that the subjects of my cyberstalking (like <a href=\"http:\/\/jmatt.net\/Linden\/\" Target=\"Offsite\">Olympic equestriennes<\/a>) tend to be a little more obscure than the typical supermodels or movie stars to which thousands of horny geeks have erected cybershrines (aka stalker sites).

My attention was drawn to her again today, in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2005\/11\/07\/business\/07nation.html\" Target=\"Offsite\"><i>NY Times<\/i> article<\/a> about her promotion to publisher.<\/p>\n<p>\nI know it&#8217;s shallow to focus on the physical beauty of someone as intelligent and accomplished as Ms. vanden Heuvel, but hey, I&#8217;m a guy, we&#8217;re pigs.
