The Egyptian goddess Isis was celebrated as the ideal wife and mother. The blogger known as Dr. Isis has some fancy-sounding degrees and is a physiologist at a major research university working on some terribly impressive stuff. She blogs about balancing her research career with the demands of raising small children, how to succeed as a woman in academia, and anything else she finds interesting. Also, she blogs about shoes. In fact, she blogs a lot about shoes.
...And behold, he raised the motherfucking Jameson on high as Isis bedecked her feet in glory, and the masses were sated. -- The Holy Gospel According to PhysioProf

Category: Dr. Isis Gets Politcal Up in this Piece
to Speaker of the House and general left-wing beacon, Nancy Pelosi.
Dear Madame Speaker,
I have recently been invited to give an international presentation and I am feeling a bit nervous about it. You see, like someone else we all know and love, I am kind of new to my job. I'm a little young and a little scrappy. I have some controversial data to lay out there and some pretty ambitious goals and future directions.
