If Cosmo says it, it has to be true and in this case, thank goodness.
The magazine that brings the world headlines like “Hot, Sexy, Hair” and “99 Sex Moves,” declares the thong dead in its February edition.
Cosmopolitan - a publication clearly known for its hard-hitting, investigative journalism - says it conducted an “investigation” and uncovered that advancements in no panty line technology has sealed the thong’s faith.
Once considered one of the “50 Ways to Turn ON Your Man,” thongs have been eclipsed in popularity by more comfortable undies like the boy shorts, Cosmo reasons.
The fact that the one advantage the thong had over all other styles of underwear has now been completely eliminated puts a major, er, crack in the thong’s appeal, the article says

Now here’s a sign things may not end well: your hubby-to-be refuses to promise to be faithful and has the bit about not cheating removed from your wedding vows.
Ding, ding, ding, buzz.
Jenny Sanford says that’s what happened before she married now disgraced South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.
Details of the couple’s marriage became the nation’s business in June after Sanford ‘disappeared’ while supposedly hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Turns out the S.C. Gov. was visiting his lover Maria Belen Chapur in hot and spicy Argentina.
This was no fling.
Gov. Sanford apparently considered Chapur his soul mate and after his wife discovered love letters, he asked his wife for permission to cheat, Ms. Sanford told ABC.
“I could never have imagined this. I mean, I could never have even made this up. It never occurred to me that this person I knew, who was actually a fairly grounded person, would be asking me something so morally offensive,” Jenny Sanford reportedly told Walters. “He said, ‘Why, why can’t you just give me permission?’ I said, ‘Well, why would I give you permission? I mean, who, who gives their spouse permission to go see their lover?’”
Sanford, who moved out of the governor’s manison before the scandal broke, has a new book coming out.
Here’s an early interview

One things for certain, Sarah Palin is no fan of one notoriously foul-mouthed chief of staff.
And the Fox News contributor wants to do more than clean Rahm Emanuel’s mouth out with soap.
Palin took to Facebook to voice her complaints against “Mr. Potty Mouth” for comments the Wall Street Journal reports he said about a liberal group with complaints about President Obama’s health-care overhaul.

“F—ing retarded,” Mr. Emanuel reportedly said in reference to the group.
In a Facebook post, Palin compares the the phrase to calling blacks ‘the N-word.’
“Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities - and the people who love them - is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking,” she wrote.
Palin compelled the president to remove Emanuel and “not allow Rahm’s continued indecent tactics to cloud efforts.”
“Yes, Rahm is known for his caustic, crude references about those with whom he disagrees, but his recent tirade against participants in a strategy session was such a strong slap in many American faces that our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm’s recent sick and offensive tactic,” she wrote in a letter seemingly directed at the president.
Truth be told, she probably wants him fired for breathing too.
What do you think? Should Rahm get the ram? Is the r-word nearly as bad as the n-word?

Monica Frazier of Bradford will have a chance to win $700,000 worth of gold
bars in San Francisco on Friday, Feb. 5.
The 31-year-old was randomly selected from more than 150,000 online entries as the winner of the Canadian Mist Whisky “Hunt for Double Gold” contest.
On Friday, she’ll be taken to Marina Green near downtown San Francisco where she will have one hour to search for up to 100 gold-colored coins numbered 1 to 100 which will have been randomly hidden around the park, according to a spokesman for Canadian Mist Whisky.
After the search, she will select 10 coins from all the coins she found, and
if the two numbers randomly drawn before the search match the numbers on two
of Frazier’s selected coins, she will win the value of two gold bars worth
over $700,000.
Multiple attempts to reach Frazier were unsuccessful last week and this
week. As part of the sweepstakes prize, she will spend three nights in
downtown San Francisco beginning on Thursday, Feb. 4 through Sunday,
February 7.

The Miami Valley’s furriest meteorologist did not see her shadow during a Groundhog Day celebration today, Tuesday, Feb. 2, at the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery.

If Ivy is right, we are in for an early spring.
She broke rank, rendering an opposing decision from groundhog heavy weight Punxsutawney Phil.
Buckeye Chuck, who is spun as Ohio’s official weather predicting groundhog, sided with Ivy, according to the Marion Star. His predicted an early spring as snow fell on spectators.
Not surprising Kristy Creel, a spokeswoman for the Boonshoft, is rooting for the hometown groundhog.
Creel said Ivy has been correct more than 80 percent of the time, adding that Phil has been right only about 60 percent of the time.
“She’s pretty accurate so I am going to take it for what it is,” Creel said of the 9-year-old groundhog.
Phil’s supporters of course see it differently. They say he has been right 100 percent of the time, according to an National Geographic article.
The U.S. National Climatic Data Center has estimated that he has been correct only correct about 40 percent of the time.
Who has it right, Ivy and Chuck or Phil?
