Paul Stephens, a 23-year-old Peace Corps volunteer in the Republic of Georgia, lives on a dirt road seven hours away from a major clothing store. When he's not dodging cows and enduring heatless winters, he's watching ... "Project Runway"? That's right: Paul is a "Runway" fan. It would be one thing if he were just a quirky beatnik, but from the Caucasuses to the Cascades, plenty of beer-slugging, football-watching, fleece-wearing men have found their new favorite pastime. Are they watching for appreciation of the talent? For the instant gratification? Because it's kind of like sports? "Well, it's also about Heidi Klum being hot," admits Marks- Landro. "Really hot. She's so hot, she should run for office."

"Project Runway": Guys' newest TV sport

Sep 27, 2006 - Seattle Times

Sep. 27--Paul Stephens, a 23-year-old Peace Corps volunteer in the Republic of Georgia, lives on a dirt road seven hours away from a major clothing store. When he's not dodging cows and enduring heatless winters, he's watching ... "Project Runway"?

That's right: Paul is a "Runway" fan. It would be one thing if he were just a quirky beatnik, but from the Caucasuses to the Cascades, plenty of beer-slugging, football-watching, fleece-wearing men have found their new favorite pastime.

[Excerpt]

But in the end we're left with the evidence: Tonight, over 1 million red-blooded American men will be engrossed in Gunn's squinting examination of a pencil skirt, and whether the designer can "make it work."

Are they watching for appreciation of the talent? For the instant gratification? Because it's kind of like sports?

"Well, it's also about Heidi Klum being hot," admits Marks- Landro. "Really hot. She's so hot, she should run for office."

Hey, with Seattle men taking an interest in fashion, my money just may be on Senator Klum in 2008.

Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act
Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them."
