Mars Needs Women!

...and maybe we could use some, too? The rooster to hen ratio is looking kind of sucky at the moment. Can I lead off with a couple of nominations?

How about The Last Amazon:

And on the topic of Titles...
I personally like TANSTAAFL as a blog motto--or perhaps the title of the E-zine's blog? But not as the title of the whole thing. Something offbeat like "Billy" would be better, although as a contrarian I must add that "Billy" itself could probably be improved upon.
I think "A Smoke And A Drink" is on the right track, but you know it's going to mean our first MSM coverage (if we get any!) will be entirely devoted to their accusations that we must be funded by the tobacco industry, and then our bored responses that "no we're not" etc etc.

This deserves more thought than I can offer it at the moment.

I'm liking Billy more and more - mostly for the anachronistic quality. Keep the graphics and type very modernist and non-rustic to stress that.

Billy is starting to grow on me as well. 'billy.ca' is taken. 'billymag.ca' is available, as is 'billy.com'.

Dammit, meant to say 'billymag.com'.

Sigh. All right. "Billy".

Or how about "Vorpal Gun-Nut Smoking Billy!"

...er, no. Just "Billy" is better.

I suppose northern blogworld stalwarts like Kathy Shaidle, smalldeadanimals, etc. have been contacted?

Yes.. definitely would be an advantage to have Shannon, Kate, and Kathy on board.

I'd also suggest Lisa from The London Fog as well. She's a woman with a bit of an edge.. that's very refreshing.

And while I think of it.. someone else that might be interested.. a hard core libertarian woman from Ontario, and a lawyer to boot that has great writing skills:
