Maureen Dowd... back in her element

After a long, painful and presumably peyote induced walkabout in the land of politics and international relations, Maureen Dowd gets back to a subject she's qualified to comment on... men's pants. From today's New York Times.

"Men don't need to see 40 different pairs of black pants, the way women like to see," Mr. Cohen said. "They want to see three pairs of black pairs, have some clerk tell him what to wear with them and move on."

That's why men are from Mars, a planet where, strangely, it is possible to have too many pairs of black pants.

You go girl.
