Today, from Nancy Keenan of NARAL, who wants me to help with the war against women. Writes Ms Keenan: Dear J, The War on Women is in full swing, and it’s going to take everything we’ve got to end it. That’s why I’m so glad you did your part recently by taking action to stop attacks on birth-control coverage. We need your help to stand up for women — to

The Utopian dreams of Utopian dreams

That headline can be read in several different ways — all of them perfectly apt, if I do say so myself. Trust me. Or, if you don’t trust me, a violent and fundamentally unserious pseudo-intellectual psychosexual predator and Visigothic purist, unhelpful defamer of all who are good and just and brave and sincere, then here: see for yourselves. Convinced? Good. Told you so. Squishes.

“I find most liberals who are critical of Fox news don’t watch it.” [Darleen Click

They have a perspective informed by clips they see on The Daily Show, or the most outrageous thing that they’ve ever seen passed around that Sean Hannity said, but they’re not watching the day-to-day news coverage which is really thoughtful and the probing debates on some of the hot topics of the day. In truth, I get to go on and fight hard for what I believe in. No one

“WALL STREET INSIDER: My God…My God…What Has Become Of America?”

This is a question, I think you’d mostly all agree, you don’t need to be an “insider” to be asking. Evil creeps while the contented man sleeps. Which is something Benjamin Franklin never said. But probably thought a couple of times. And if not Ben Franklin, almost certainly Johnny Cochran. (thanks to Carin)

“Food Stamp Program Doesn’t Check SSNs of Some Recipients”

IDs are for getting on planes or buying beer or driving cars, not for voting or showing proof of citizenship or taking government aid. CNSNews: The U.S. Department of Agriculture-administered food stamp program does not check the Social Security Number (SSNs) of some of its 46.3 million recipients, many of whom are using the numbers of dead people and invalid SSNs to get benefits potentially totaling $1.1 million a month,

Derrick Bell’s Jewish / Racialist Problem

— And before the trolls chime in to accuse wild-eyed desperate conservatives of engaging in guilt by association — if there’s one thing we know for sure about Obama after 3+ years as President it’s that just because he told a crowd in Harvard Square to open its hearts and minds to the words of Derrick Bell doesn’t mean he actually meant it — let me just say this: the

Remember the other day when severe conservative Mitt Romney said President Obama shouldn’t really be blamed for high gas prices?

Well, I do. And now I think I may know why. From Economic Policy Journal (h/t Michelle Malkin / geoffB): As the price of gasoline soars, top Mitt Romney adviser, Harvard economist Greg Mankiw sticks to his guns and calls for a hike in gasoline taxes. In a recent blog post, Mankiw points to a WaPo column which states: N. Gregory Mankiw, former top economic adviser to President George W.

Believing in God (or rights) is like enjoying eating peas … or something [Darleen Click]

Debating a person of the Left is like trying to nail jello to the wall. Contradictory assertions, circular logic, refusal to consider opposing arguments or deliberate misinterpretation of opposing arguments are among the characteristics of a Leftist screed in search of utopia. Today’s latest exercise is the mind-numbing musings of Nat Frank at HuffPo. Entitled Belief Alone Is No Basis for Public Policy, Frank attempts to make an argument against

“Why Obama may have just a 34.7% chance of being reelected”

So asks Jim Pethokoukis. And without reading the column, I’m going to go with my gut and answer, “because 34.7% of the country remains stubbornly and irredeemably stupid?” There. Tell me I didn’t nail it.

9 most devious ways the white GOP patriarchy is “turning back the clock” on “women’s equality,” “women’s health” and “women’s reproductive rights”

9. Snooki 8. Linguistically, by equating the positive and moral act of removing the military industrial war machine from some greedy imperialist invasionary endeavor, with the rather lame and self-serving act of jizzing all over a gal’s stomach because your dickhead boyfriend forgot to put a fucking condom in his wallet. 7. During the 70s, women gathered in the streets and burned bras to protest the social constraints foisted on
