Is it midterm time already? It must be - the weather is changing, the days grow shorter, and the wind blows over hill and dale, caressing the campus and picking up the smug cry of the newly hatched ‘concern’ feminist. Hearken to the self-righteously uninformed screed of the third-runner up of the Bestest […]

Quick plug

Please go visit ko htike’s prosaic collection. It’s a blog featuring photos, writing, and video from inside Burma. As you probably know, the junta has imposed a media blackout and cut off internet access, so the contributers to the blog face incredible difficulties getting their story out, and are risking their lives.

Just a warning: The photos are graphic and the stories are horrifying. But it’s important to see them.

My Favorite Anti-Feminists ™ ask, is it possible that feminism, like many form of cancer, is a by-product of pollutants in our environment?

No. Really.
Could environmental factors contribute to feminism?
Environmental factors like good mentors and strong role models, or environmental factors like when the Communists put all that fluoride in our water?
I’ve read and heard […]

U.S. overturns Nuremberg Principles

Apparently, “I was just following orders” is once again a valid defense.

Future would-be war criminals, take note.

Not-so-strange bedfellows

Paul Fromm with some of his other friends, agitating for the release of (deported) Canadian neo-Nazi Ersnt Zundel.
The recent Daily Show segment on immigration probably amused a lot of you, but had Canadian anti-racists nearly convulsive with laughter owing to a small detail that Jon Stewart inexplicably failed to mention.

The “immigration reform” guy they interviewed […]

Just when you thought it wasn’t bad enough that bottled water companies drain public reserves of water for free and then sell it back to said public for $1.50 a pop, WaterBank of America has launched a fresh new horror:

Because you didn’t need enough plastic in your life.
H/T to Meagan D.; sorry that I didn’t […]

When someone starts railing against ‘gender neutral education’ it’s time to put your hand over your wallet and back slowly out of the room. Amanda sent me this patriarchy-blaming Livescience article at about the same time I came across this charmer on the importance of edumakating girls to be girls, just like the Bible […]

So we’ve all heard about the Blackwater thing by now, right? After last Sunday, when Blackwater Christofascist mercenaries went on a killing spree, murdering at least 28 people in cold blood, Iraq’s puppet government finally said “enough is enough,” and revoked Blackwater’s license to operate in the country. This isn’t the first time that Blackwater […]

When the U.S. government makes changes to the public education system, forcing public schools to conform to state regulations or face privatization, it’s business as usual.
When the Venezuelan government makes changes to the private education system, forcing private schools to conform to state regulations or face nationalization, it’s a Socialist! School! Takeover!
Speaking of standards, 11% […]

MSNBC lets the people speak in the elegantly named section “Gut Check America.” I have no idea what a ‘gut check’ is, and a quick google search suggests that it is something you get regularly in order to detect colon cancer early and also help you pick stocks. Either way, it provides […]

Global warming is melting Arctic ice and opening the Northwest Passage.
This is one of these stories that should get everyone freaked out, regardless of political affiliation. Of course, there’s a plus side:
Researcher Claes Ragner of Norway’s Fridtjof Nansen Institute, which works on Arctic environmental and political issues, said for now, the new opening has only […]

Conspiracy theorists, you’ve been thwarted again!
I know there were tons of you out there grousing about how the invasion of Iraq was intended to garner more oil for the gluttonous needs of the ol’ US of A, but now we can prove that’s pure poppycock. Thanks to State of the Day, we’ve […]
