Via Shakesville:
So, after Joe Biden said, awesomely, that paying taxes is patriotic, Sarah Palin retorted, mendaciously, that raising taxes is “about killing jobs and hurting small businesses and making things worse.”
Biden’s response?

How many small businessmen are making one million, four hundred thousand–average in the top 1 percent. Give me a break. I remind my friend, […]

Apparently this is me.
So, not too long ago at work we were suffering through some “group exercises” to “build teamwork” (thankfully there was no “hugging,” or GOD forbid, “sharing”)–BUT anyway, one of the things we did was take the Myers-Briggs assessment. I’ve never formally taken it before and certainly never done so with a […]

It’s hard, though. I think it’s because she’s a woman and it just makes my teeth hurt when a woman pops up on the national stage and acts like a power-hungry hypocritical dingbat. Now, that’s reverse sexism–so she’s a female Huckabee! Why don’t I cringe as miserably from his existence? Clearly […]

I already derailed the comment thread on Hugo’s first post of three about the book Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men by Michael Kimmel, and I flatly refuse to do it again to his second post, darn it! So I’m going to express myself here instead. (Amanda has another take on […]

You know, people in other countries watch this shit and so do total misogynists. Then again, why worry about what people in other countries think about America’s choices for Supreme Leadership of our country? After eight years of Dubya, how could their opinion of our intelligence fall any further? And misogynists are […]

In a statement posted today on the EW.com Web site, the Wilsons wrote:
“Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song ‘Barracuda’ no longer be used to promote her image. The song ‘Barracuda’ was written in the late ’70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, […]

I’m talking, of course, about True Blood, set to premiere on HBO tonight at 9 pm. I am sorta embarrassed to admit that I actually went and got HBO added to my cable package just so I could see the thing. Worse and worse, this is the first television show in about, […]

Just for fun, I compiled a set of pics of several women, some anti-feminist and some feminist, mixed ‘em up and threw ‘em up here in the randomest of all possible orders. In an attempt to make the situation as fair as possible I tried to keep the age range somewhat constant between erm, […]

Via.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Gloria Steinem. She is more of my grandmother’s generation than my mother’s, but when I was growing up surrounded by issues of Ms. Magazine, the cover pictures of Gloria reminded me so much of my mom–tall and slender with long, straight blonde hair and glasses–when I was […]

…it’s gotta be ’cause her speaking voice is just as awful as his is.
Seriously, if I had to listen to them having a conversation together, with nobody else talking, I’d be driving nails into my ears within ten minutes.
Nope, this is not her convention speech. But it’s still an edifying little window […]

This was hard to believe. I had to check twice to make sure it was really Time magazine and not some clever decoy, you know, like “crisis pregnancy” centers like to pull when they set up facilities next to a Planned Parenthood clinic and call themselves something like “The Planning for Parenthood Center” to […]
