I have already written that I don’t particularly care, from a personal perspective, whether or not Amanda Marcotte gets canned.  Ironically enough, that call will be made by the embodiment of white male privilege whose campaign she chose to back.  I have also written that I don’t begrudge her the fact of her opinions.  And I don’t. What I find loathsome, however, are both the content of the opinions and

Here’s your breakfast.  Would you like toast with that? You still look hungry.  Here’s more. And Pablo brought still more. The Captain’s on it. Q&O.  James Joyner.  Patterico. Dissenting voice PSoTD. Phin from Agent Bedhead: Wasn’t sure if you’d seen this: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/2/7/80739.shtml I heard about this on the local news (I’m in eastern NC) on the way to work. The local news outlets are saying that it isn’t just the

NR’s Rich Lowry, attending the Winter Meeting of the Democratic National Committee, watches the party’s presidential nomination seekers leapfrogging leftward on the war, particularly Iraq.  Given PW’s recent focus on the Edwards campaign, I took note of the following: John Edwards says that the White House is counting on Democrats to be “weak and political and careful. This is not the time for politician calculation.” Clearly.  We’re in the middle

Jeff and Pablo and Dan Riehl and I are all mad at Amanda Marcotte because we’re all seething with jealousy that we’ll never, ever in our entire lives have as important a blogpost as Amanda.  O! it cuts to the quick!  A hit, a palpable hit! But now it turns out that Michelle Malkin has been visited by “the green-eyed monster that mocks the meat it feeds on”–wait, that’s jealousy,

Wait, does this mean I’m oppressing myself?  Or does it mean I’m freeing myself from institutionalized patriarchal oppression.  Because to be honest, I’d hate to think I’ve become a tool of the patriarchy—particularly if it means I’m going to have to a) suffer under the boot heel of my own misogyny, or b) feel the emancipated sting of rebuke to my culturally-conditioned phallocentrism.  Seriously.  A fella can only be so

By this time, virtually all of the inhabitants of the political blogosphere know that vaginal supremacist Amanda Marcotte is now in charge of John Edwards’ campaign blog, but I thought it interesting that we’re beginning to see just what she brings to the table there. It certainly isn’t her vulgar, vituperative writing style, as that wouldn’t play well with a misogynist raping godbag like her new wealthy, white, southern, Christian

From Treacher. Fainting couch time.  Gleen thinks that a Byron York article title is so scandalous that it ought to draw a six-month right-wing moratorium over complaining about the incivilities of lefty language.  When will he ever finish that book on the etiquette of ventriloquism?  He’s just agape.  Gob-smacked.  His mouth’s just hanging open.  It’s almost as though his face has become a Fagina Dentata! It’s a phallus-free philosophy! Amanda

Obscurer of agency: In many other people’s minds, too, there is the unspoken assumption that what the United States does in Iraq is a fully determined action, whereas what other people do is simply a consequence of that action, with no independent or autonomous “agency” of its own. And: The habit of viewing Iraq as a crisis that only began in 2003—a lazy habit that is conditioned by the needs
