In Charlize We Trust

Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron was named Woman of the Year by Hasty Pudding Theatricals. She's one cool gal in my book, not only for her skilled performances on the silver screen, but for her, dare I say it, audacious stand on gay marriage. Even if she's only trying to get the press to back off about her own marriage plans, it's bold for anyone to stand up for what's right (and to have done it 3 years ago, when the climate was even less receptive to the idea than it is now). So good for you, Ms. Theron. We appreciate you, even those of us outside the Ivy League.
