I am just some dude who very much wants to help fight the external and internal patriarchal corruption I see. I am no feminism expert — in fact I am of the mind that inherently I cannot be and have explicitly and carefully tried to explain my reasons for that.
But holy crap is that […]

Jedmunds says “woo!” to Oasis, again, says “boo!” to Queen also.
Now this is of course not an unqualified boo!, it is in fact a highly nuanced boo!, a boo! that rarely is seen issuing forth from the eponymous hipster’s hipstering holes.
It is the boo! of someone who has heard the imitators and copycats and artists […]

Two points spring to mind upon reading this post by Shape of Days via
the first point is the obvious one sparked off by Shape of Days saying;
We’re not at war. But we’re doing the kinds of things, both at home and abroad, that would only be justified — could only be excused — in a […]

I have, in the past week or so, had my sexuality insulted twice in mutually exclusive ways.
Now I don’t mind the insults, I haven’t exactly explained my sexual behavior before, and so I’d find it understandable if I was that kind of witless patriarchy accepting bint.

Newsweek at MSNBC.com has an article about “extreme commuters,” or people who drive 90+ minutes one way to get to and from work. Ok, if these people won’t stand up and demand Japanese-style train-based public transportation, no one will. We are a nation of self-deluding crazy people.

Still, when it’s all […]

You know what the worst part about eating at KFC is? It’s too elegant. All that deep-fried chicken and potato flake goodness, served in separate sections on a paper or syrofoam tray. You need a fork for practically every damn menu item. I’m a busy woman, I don’t have time for […]

Brilliant.

At GOP.com there’s a new toy to play with.
Democrats support higher gasoline prices
Democrats have consistently stood in the way of lower energy prices for American families. Whether it’s higher taxes, more regulation, blocking new exploration, or opposing the conservation measures in last year’s energy bill, Democrats in control of Congress would mean higher prices at […]

I went back to Men’s News Daily’s blog area to spend some more time with our new friend Elder George, but he’s not too terribly prolific-it’s been like a whole week and he hasn’t written anything new. Disappointed, I wandered over to the “Vox populi” catagory, where I guess everyone who posts over there […]

I want Al Gore to run for president, I want him to win, and I know I’m not alone. Unfortunately, Lindsay Beyerstein offers a concise, truthful evaluation of the major obstacle to his success:
Gore fans love the idea of payback. It is satisfying to imagine a good guy like Al Gore finally getting […]
