Oprah’s said it. The helpful Victoria Secret clerks say it. Our great-aunt Holly used to say it all the time: a well-fitting bra makes the woman. Today you can acquire said well-fitting brassiere and help raise money for breast cancer research at the same time at Fit for the Cure. Wacoal certified fitters will be on hand in the lingerie department at Macy’s Center City today from 11AM-5PM; for every woman who participates in a fitting of a Wacoal or DKNY bra, they will donate $2 to Susan G.

Unfortunately it does specify “every woman;” we were kind of hoping to head over with some guys and guilt them into trying something on “for the cause.” Oh, well, have to save that for a Saturday night at home…

Did you ever get with someone you hardly know to “If You Don’t Know Me By Now?” Ever satisfy your love jones to “Me and Mrs. Jones?” Have you ever gotten some ass to Teddy Pendergrass? No? Well, that is probably because you had me as a wing man. But, if you have, you need to head down to Macy’s Center City at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, March 7 and give some dap to the men who made all that baby-making possible. Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, the founders of Philadelphia’s own Philadelphia International Records and soon-to-be members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, will be on hand for a meet-and-greet, and a $35 IZOD men’s purchase will net you a signed, 15-song compilation of the city institution’s greatest hits. What does IZOD have to do with Philadelphia International Records? Dude, I don’t know. All I’m saying is, if you buy yourself a pair of pants, I guarantee you will hear some mind-blowing music…and there will be some body-rockin', knockin-the-boots going on at your crib this weekend.

Many neo-conservatives both in the Bush White House and Congress have argued that in a post-9/11 world torture is a necessary and viable method of obtaining information from detained enemy combatants. Others have argued that torture discredits the U.S. abroad, breeds anti-American sentiment, places our soldiers at risk, and contradicts most of mankind’s reasonable standards as to what is and is not moral.

Climate change has rapidly become part of our national discourse. As early as four or five years ago, the issue was treated by many as a paranoid conspiracy. Now, political figures from governors to presidential candidates to George W. Bush himself seem unable to avoid the fact that not only is our planet becoming warmer, but it is also losing the ability to produce key resources such as oil and clean water. Here’s a look at recent Earth-related news:

Perhaps Senator John McCain is feeling pressure to court the remaining Christian conservative votes he has not already pulled out from under former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who is a former evangelical pastor. Many far-right conservative voters have expressed doubts about McCain’s allegiance to their values, including notorious radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.

Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama exchanged blows in Ohio Tuesday leading up to next week’s primary in that state. 161 delegates are at stake. The exchange of criticism focused largely on Clinton’s position on the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.
