Punkassblog is about many things, but rarely would I count moderation among them. Today’s a different story, though.

Here’s my prediction for Pennsylvania Tuesday: regardless of who wins or by how much, regardless of what it means for the nomination overall, the Democratic infighting between Clinton supporters and Obama supporters will reach a fever […]

Amanda, via Anne, already fisked this but it’s too rich and I couldn’t resist. A 30-something LA-based actor whom you couldn’t pick out of a lineup wants to let the ladies know you’re free to be you. Kind of. He opens by describing the type of woman who can catch his interest:
She […]

My favorite anti-feminist, Lady Lydia, has discovered video blogging and once again reminds me that despite our differences, we have much in common. I, too, enjoy porches and folding towels into fun shapes, although I draw the line at embellishing a stack of ordinary folded towels.
And like Punkassblog, Home Living gets the […]

Over at Boundless Webzine, Focus on the Family’s source of hip, Candice Watters is reminded by the New York Times to warn science to beware, bee–waaarrreeeeeee!!!!!!!! That is, beware to continue to be aware that scientific ethics are a good thing.
Also, did you know that in the past, scientists were sometimes wrong? And […]

As a feminist-type blogger I have, on occasion, participated in making a mockery of men who try to buy brides from poverty-stricken foreign lands and justify it by idealizing the feminine allure that women of [insert country of choice here] just naturally have in spades unlike coarse, jaded American women, spoiled by decades of feminism.

Bwaa-haa-haaa!

Five authors have sued the parent company of Regnery Publishing, a Washington imprint of conservative books, charging that the company deprives its writers of royalties by selling their books at a steep discount to book clubs and other organizations owned by the same parent company.
Unfortunately, no major OMG! names are listed on the suit, luminaries […]

Ahh, it’s the beginning of the school year - a time fraught with fraughty goodness for incoming undergraduates heading off to the first day of their new classes. I remember the computer science class where the graduate TA simply never showed up, and the resulting hissy fit some guy sitting behind me pitched while […]

Kym Platts at Ask This Black Woman/Black Looks posted the other day about some seriously problematic imagery in the new Resident Evil 5 game.
The new Resident Evil video game depicts a white man in what appears to be Africa killing Black people. The Black people are supposed to be zombies and the white […]

I’m not sure what to penalize this author for more: her misuse of the word ‘fembot’ or her ability to write a deeply introspective two-pager about how isolated she is from her feelings.
I’m at a sake bar watching a man get drunk on an ice-cold woman. He shamelessly admits he can’t stop thinking about her. […]

When I first heard about the $54 million dollar lost-pants lawsuit, I (like everyone else) thought ‘damn, that guy has some serious problems.’
And it turns out, I was right! How about that? After losing the suit and being held up for general scorn, the man just can’t stop himself from going back for […]

Five times in my life, Los Angeles and/or its surrounding areas have beckoned. Regardless of whether I was traveling to see friends or catch a UT Rose Bowl victory, I left with the impression that I could — sometimes that I should — live in LA.
Until this last trip.
Don’t get me wrong, […]

Remember Steve Horner, that guy in Colorado who waged a righteous war against ladies night? Sure, we mocked him mercilessly but did we ever stop to get his side of the story?
The Daily Show’s John Oliver finally gives Steve a voice, and it’s ever bit as wonderful as you would imagine it to be.
