LATimes has an article about Southwestern’s “Back to the Future” collegiate level homemaking concentration, entitled- completely not patronizingly at all- “They Love to Do Their Homework.”
This fall, the internationally known seminary — a century-old training ground for Southern Baptists — began reinforcing those traditional gender roles with college classes in homemaking. The academic program, open [...]

Punkass costume swap

I haven’t done much for Halloween (besides drinking) since my freshman year, but this year the office ladies are trying to whip up some enthusiasm among the students for a costume contest. This shouldn’t be difficult, but it’s a building full of difficult people. Now generally their attempts to bring some seasonal festivity to the department are smashing successes; but this one is different as it requires us to actually (*gasp*) actively participate as opposed to just showing up to a room at some certain time where food somehow magically appeared.

As you can see, I feel morally obligated to come up with an entertaining, kickass costume. I call upon the power of the internets to help me: if you have/seen/done/wish you could do something awesome, the commence bragging in the comments.

After finally watching “Jesus Camp” this week, I’d been feeling a little depressed about the ability of America’s younger generations to resist the ego-stroking glitz of evangelical Christianity. Never before have humans been so good at soaking guilt and repression in the syrupy goodness of Vanilla Ice-style pop and the joy of breaking stuff; [...]

Maybe I should go back to *not* reading, because reading the running transcript of the Republican “debate” tonight nearly cost me a forehead and a desk. In case you feel like joining me in self-flagellation, I thought I would bring you the highlights I made it through, courtesy of Rupert Murdoch’s new toy.
Kicking off [...]

Shorter Michelle Malkin I: I can’t believe the gall of these people, using children to raise support for the Children’s Health Insurance Program, as though that were at all relevant.
Shorter Michelle II: If these people are poorer than you, well, then you’re already thinking “screw ‘em.” But if they are as rich or richer [...]

As I mentioned recently, I no longer have a day job in IT. But the truth of the matter is not that I quit to become a producer. In fact, I was fired because I claimed during a meeting that the movie The Matrix was fiction and stated it was extremely unlikely we’d [...]

The hideous GOP convention logo that Pam posted the other day is suggestive enough without Photoshopping, but I thought I should add my contribution to the pile-on.

The original. What were they thinking?
Remix after the cut.

Reading iz hard

Blogging isn’t about writing. It’s about reading. You read enough articles and books and neoconservative fart bubbles, and the responses/reactions immediately present themselves.
Right now, unless we’re talking about video production or (gulp) fantasy football, every reader of this post knows more about everything than I do.
Bottom line: I had [...]

Teehee.
He inserted a memory chip into his computer which he thought contained graphics showing how legislative bills became law.
Instead, a series of pictures of topless women appeared on the screen, although Mr Barrett said he shut down the computer within seconds.
Once, during a group meeting, our resident conservative guy loaned his computer to the [...]

A few days ago we heard from a young lady who felt feminism failed her and no doubt you felt my post lacked balance. What, you asked, about the men? What do they think? You ask and sophomore print journalism major Josh Bass provides.

Upon returning from what I assumed, based [...]

At least, I assume Italy must have vanquished crime in all of its forms to have the time and, let’s face it, the stones for this:

In Italy, the land of fashion and elegance, it’s only natural that public officials want to look good too. And so the Italian police ordered high heeled-shoes for its 14,750 [...]

Nefarious agents of the homosexual agenda.
I post about penguins probably more often than I should, but they’re terribly cute, and for whatever reason, they seem to get used as political footballs far more often than the poor things deserve.
Well, it’s happening again. The most challenged book of 2006, according to the Chicago-based American Library [...]
