I really do try to find something to like in everyone I encounter, but this one was a toughie.

My loathing of Sarah Palin was so well known, that during the election season, while all of my friends and family were sporting cool pro Obama attire… I was given an anti- Palin cap sleeve tee for my birthday!

But low and behold, only seven months after she and her grandpa were trounced on election night, I found something the crazy, Christian, gun toting, illiterate, hillbilly governor of Alaska and I have in common, our toes!!

Now let me be clear, I am not talking about the ugly coral colored polish with white dots on her big toe. I mean her toes themselves.

From this photo is it apparent that Ms. Palin has what is commonly referred to as Greek toes (as opposed to Egyptian toes where the big toe is longer) or Morton’s toe, named for American orthopedic surgeon Dudley Joy Morton (1884–1960).

Sarah Palin and I have the same toes. Her second toe is longer than her big toe! Common ground, finally.

Maybe there is hope for Obama’s non-partisan vision of America after all.

*Note- This is a distinction I also share with Kill Bill star and QT’s favorite toe fetish model, Uma Thurman. Mr Tarantino… I’m ready for my close-up!

UPDATE: I want to make it very clear, that my second toe is only VERY slightly longer than my big toe. Still, I feel that my chances of a second date with Diddy are slim.

SHE first swung into action 50 years ago, helping her boyfriend Batman rid Gotham City of villains until she was killed off in 1979.

Now Batwoman is making a comeback, replacing Batman – who is missing, presumed dead – in the popular DC Comics series.

And this time around the superheroine’s alter ego, Kathy Kane, is a red-headed lesbian.

Billed as a “lesbian socialite by night and a crime-fighter by later in the night”, the new Batwoman is clad in a figure-hugging black outfit with knee-high red stiletto boots.

She is set to appear in at leasty 12 issues of the Detective Comics, the first of which will appear in June, the BBC reports.

“We’ve been waiting to unlock her – it’s long overdue,” DC Comics writer Greg Rucka said. “Yes, she’s a lesbian. She’s also a redhead. If people are going to have problems with it, that’s their issue.”

Batwoman was first outed in 2006 and has made a number of cameo appearances in the series.

Batman was killed by a fireball last November, though fans suspect he’ll be back.

I’m betting her first run in will be with Cat Woman!
