…of who it is today’s establishment feminists are rallying behind: Thanks to Darleen. You done good, sweetie! *

“…So. Ain’t this some shit…?” “I hear you, brother man. I mean, at least in my day when we had to pretend to take them seriously they had the good sense to go without bras and embrace that whole ‘free love’ business. Nowadays, though, it’s like, ‘Christ, don’t you bitches have an oven to clean or something…?”**

A: You don’t generally point and laugh at a pitbull. — Oh, and maybe lipstick, too — though that’s just me speculating. Cole, writing for Salon: […] the values of [John McCain’s] handpicked running mate, Sarah Palin, more resemble those of Muslim fundamentalists than they do those of the Founding Fathers. On censorship, the teaching of creationism in schools, reproductive rights, attributing government policy to God’s will and climate change,

In a pique of sociological curiosity, I asked my son’s pre-K teacher if she had any children of her own — and if so, why the hell wasn’t she home with them instead of here at school, watching my son mangle a glue stick? Did she not realize, I asked her, that her progeny could be out somewhere getting their adolescent freak on? I mean, who is she to think

Jessica Gavora, writing in the Weekly Standard (and echoing many of the arguments I outlined in an earlier post today), is the latest woman to take on establishment feminism and the case of Gov.

So perhaps now is a good time for pink lemonade — and all those who claim to prefer it — to, with graciousness and dignity, support my rise as beverage of

Writing for TNR, Michelle Cottle manages to pen precisely the kind of article one expects from a liberal media elite pretending to some nuanced consideration of the Palin VP nomination. Whatever praise there is for Governor Palin is undercut by condescension and oblique swipes at her authenticity; and of course the selection itself is nothing but bald-faced opportunism that any woman worth safeguarding her own uterus should see through as

USA Today/Gallup poll: The Republican National Convention has given John McCain and his party a significant boost, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken over the weekend shows, as running mate Sarah Palin helps close an “enthusiasm gap” that has dogged the GOP all year. McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican’s biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before

As I noted in an earlier post today, the perception of media bias is growing. And as Texas Rainmaker points out, the times, they are about to be a-changin’. — Or at least, appear as though they’re changing.
