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, [...]

Gad, who’d say such a dumb-ass racist thing as that?!
Oops!

I came across this via Bitch Ph.D:
Using your browser URL history to estimate gender
Oh yeah, I thought–it’s not like I frequent a bunch of G-I-R-L-Y sites–
Apparently I am more gendered than I thought though.
Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 68%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 32%

How quaint! Too bad he’s spying on you.
I’m no fan of the RCMP, one of our glorious national symbols. They had a historical role in abducting indigenous children from their families so that they could be tortured, brainwashed, and frequently killed in residential schools. More recently, they’ve been responsible for an out-of-control taser epidemic that [...]

Not satisfied with claiming that Obama is communist, Muslim, gay (or at least meterosexual), and has black children, the McCain campaign is now claiming that he’s the fucking Antichrist.

I don’t even know where to begin. For one thing, it’s a completely incoherent ad, though it gets points for invoking Charlton Heston. But beyond that, its [...]

Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival is, strictly speaking, not really any of my business. It’s been a few years since any artist I particularly like performed there, and I have an allergy to alternative spellings of “women.” This said, as a feminist, I do feel it’s my right to criticize gender essentialism and transphobia and take [...]

“Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.” -Christopher Morley

Last week, I went and watched the new version of the movie “Get Smart”. I had fond memories of the show when I was a child and it was on Nick and Night, but since nostalgia has burned me before (think the latest Indian Jones movie, Star Wars, Catwoman, oh, damn, lots of them) [...]

Happy Fourth of July! I’ll be on the National Mall in DC watchin’ the fireworks against the glorious backdrop of the Washington Phallus. Don’t even pretend like you’re not jealous.
“Dick is a Killer” by DJ RX. Gotta love it.

Metallica’s first video ever!
I post this in recognition of the 900-plus soldiers who have had to have at least one major amputation in the last five years as a direct result of serving in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

The first I actually heard about Rebecca Walker’s “Mommie Dearest”-style expose of the horrors of growing up as well-known feminist author Alice Walker’s daughter was on Michelle Malkin’s website–yeah, I admit, I periodically nip over there, mostly because she’s just so controversial that I just KNOW she must have SOMETHING to say that’ll really wow [...]

What Americans do half-heartedly, the Russians will attempt with gusto.
Russian lawmakers are weird.
Parliamentary hearings were held yesterday at which the “Concept for a State Policy in the Area of Spiritual and Moral Education of the Children of the Russian Federation and Protection of Their Morals” was discussed.
Really weird:
The draft law “On Children’s Toys” would ban [...]
