That's what ski racers do, and that's how they dress, and the fact she's turning her head to smile is about the only thing about it that's even remotely sexual. Very remote. However, I get the idea people who would bring such a thing up don't get smiled at during sex very often. Or any other time.

The total lack of a spine anywhere in the Democratic party is one of the things that has me depressed about the state of the country.

Rana, I can see your point but I still have no objection to the way SI posed the cover picture. It seems to me that the idea was to give the readers a good look at a star rather than to present a skiing picture. One of the swimsuit issue stars is doing pretty well in the NASCAR ARCA race which is gracing my tube right now.

I never understood the logic of that one either. (I suppose we should be grateful that Vonn wasn't posed skiing in a bikini.) Heh. Of course. I never understood the logic of that one either.

I mean, check out this far more typical picture of the woman, doing what she's rightly become famous for: http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site36/2008/0222/20080222__LindseyVonn~p1.jpg Why isn't something like <i>that</i> on the cover instead? I mean, it is supposed to be <i>Sports</i> Illustrated, right? Not boobs, butt, and lipstick illustrated.

My daughter just returned from 10 days at Long Island, Bahamas, Clarence Town...her man took a vacation from NetJets and flew a doctor down in the doc's plane; she just said it was a "small jet" but didn't say any more about it. Smooth skies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I couldn't remember, so I did indeed look up the recipe for brussel sprouts...and I added hot sauce, pre-roasting, and ruined them. Damn me.

Don't the femanazi have anything better to do. Dexter, a bit dicey flying the midwest tonight, Clevland was a treat. Surprisingly smooth above 3,000 but really bumpy down low.

Why trust memory when you have the frailties of the internet? Y'know, I tried. I looked at the picture, twice, and she has admirably muscular thighs. I could develop an inappropriate interest in them if I really worked at it, but in general -- she's skiing downhill. And smiling. C'mon, guys. It's called, as I recall from Swiss Valley's patient ski patrol coaches, the tuck position. 350 oven, a drizzle of olive oil, 40-45 minutes — and someone suggested sprinkling pine nuts over ‘em as they roast, which i haven’t tried yet.
