OK, maybe she does look like Peggy Hill

There’ve been several suggestions of other famous women, both real and fictional, that Sarah Palin resembles, and she’s been spoofed by a few of them, including Tina Fey and Gina Gershon.

One of the comparisons I just didn’t get was Peggy Hill. Yes, that Peggy Hill. But now that I’ve seen the caricature of Palin in the September 22 issue of the New Yorker, it makes a little more sense.

Now John McCain as Cotton Hill, that I can see.

At last you can satisfy your ravenous appetite for room34.com RSS feeds

I’ve just set up a brand new page of RSS feeds. Now you have a choice of not just the plain vanilla (no, make that a “kamikaze” Mr. Misty* from Dairy Queen) feed with everything in it, but a separate feed for every category of Blather in the known universe (if the extent of the “known universe” is this website).

Check it out!

*I’m no longer the Dairy Queen aficionado I was in my youth, but there’s one a few blocks from my house and we occasionally take the kids there in the summer. I’ve noticed this strange thing lately on the menu called “Arctic Rush.” Never having been a Mr. Misty fan myself, I didn’t notice it had disappeared from the menu, and apparently it has just been renamed. Personally I think “Arctic Rush” sounds lame… something an inferior competitor would come with. Burger King, perhaps, or McDonalds. Except then it would be the “Arctic McRush with Cheese” or something.
