- Ladies: If you're wondering where the nice guys have gone, you might want this perspective from an ex-nice guy.
- One of our nation's most beloved spousal abusers has passed away at 76. Oh, he was also a R&B hit maker ... no, it's not Robert Blake.

I Like My Sexism Like I Like My Hardwood Floors: Deeply Ingrained
Chuck Klosterman has reminded me that John Cusak ruined "romance" for everyone by giving "nice guys" the inkling of a thought that they might actually get the "platonic friend" (aka "Say Anything" or any of those sappy John Hughes Films). I couldn't agree more. And he says it so much more eloquently than me in "Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs"
You know what, sometimes the nice guy turns around, ditches the high-maintenance headcase, and marries an awesome chick like me.
So thanks, nice-guy-who-is-now-my-husband.
