Check 'em out.Also, check out Ronée's latest column, "Well Grab My Tit and Call Me Liar!", about allegations of sexual harassment/assault that, if true, could rock one of the industry's most important organizations and, sadly, have ripple effects that would greatly endanger their mission in the short-term...at the least.
