Cheating cheaters who cheat.
15 Comments Published by violet August 11th, 2008 in Punkass!, Sex, Media, What Patriarchy?, Cock!I didn’t have any desire to write about the Edwards thing, but, I suppose, this isn’t just about what I want.
In that post, Lisa takes issue with Rielle Hunter’s sister trying to “defend her honor” against a flurry of vicious attacks.
Lisa does not come to her rescue,
Excuse me. What honor? This woman had a blatant […]
Unreal.
14 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas August 5th, 2008 in Media hackery, What Patriarchy?, "Science", She's (or he's) crafty, What would we do without such great advice?Note: In its original format, this article made no sense whatsoever. The items in bold are my annotations, which hopefully will give you an easier time figuring out what’s really going on here than I had the first time I read it. Apologizing in advance for not blockquoting all the article excerpts!

What is a Tim Blair?
89 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas August 3rd, 2008 in Media, Blogitics, Douchebag on Feminism, for realsI read Sabotabby’s most recent post, suffered strong pangs of empathy, then moved on with life til I nipped over to Pandagon and saw that Amanda had posted on it and linked to Feministe–and also to something called a Tim Blair. Following that last link, I found a page that can be accurately summarized […]
Taking female bloggers seriously
41 Comments Published by Sabotabby August 2nd, 2008 in For the ladies, Media hackery, Blogitics, Shame on you for being a woman, Douchebag on FeminismIt’s Caturday, after all, and I exercise my right to be a crazy cat lady on the internet.
I hadn’t heard of Rachel Lucas before today, and it’s probably just as well. (I object on principle to cutesy diminutives of the name Rachel—Rachie is bad enough, but Wachel is the worst I’ve heard. Also, people who […]
I’m still trying to figure out why they even bothered writing this article.

Jon Stewart Weighs In Again on Obama and the Importance of Foreign Policy Experience
0 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas July 22nd, 2008 in Politics, Entertainment, Media, Humor, Video, teh funny, Obamarama“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

How I Learned that the “P” in “PZ Myers” Stands for Paul
0 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas July 12th, 2008 in Punkass!, Godbaggery, Media hackery, Moronic Religions, Mutterings Of The Disturbed, FUCKING IDIOTS, book larnin'I’ve been following the Frackin’ Cracker story since its first appearance on the news, even before PZ’s first post on the subject. It’s turned into quite the bloody saga of PZ-hating (not to mention creative ways to desecrate a Holy Cracker) out there, with…oh, you guessed it…our bestest buddy Billdo carrying the lead torch […]

Poll shows Americans cool to Michelle Obama
Posted: 10:30 AM ET
Oh brother…aside from the fact that a candidate’s spouse should be a virtual non-issue and so should everybody’s opinion of him or her–
The new Associated Press-Yahoo poll shows 30 percent of Americans view […]
From the best of all possible worlds.
Funny how getting good news — even when it’s completely fabricated — can make you feel so… well… good.
THE PRESS! Hunh! Good God! What is it good for? ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN’! Say it again…
2 Comments Published by Quin June 25th, 2008 in Media hackery, Media, Filtered Propaganda, Torture, War HUH! What is it good for?At least not so much lately in America. Of course, cynics would say that, by merely parroting the propaganda of the powerful, they are doing PRECISELY their job, because that’s what they’re kept around for in the first place. And, well, I guess the cynics would probably be right. But appearances of speaking truth to […]
Underage Pregnancy Conspiracies, Savage Lost Tribes and Don Imus is a Racist
7 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas June 24th, 2008 in Media hackery, My Brain HurtsThis is the quality of news reporting today.
There was no teen pregnancy pact in Massachussetts.
There are no painted, spear-throwing primitives attacking Great White Helicopters in Brazil.
No shit Don Imus is a racist. Hello?
The Associated Press is losing it
2 Comments Published by Sabotabby June 24th, 2008 in Media hackery, HUH!?, Mutterings Of The Disturbed, Ze Goggles! Zey Do Nothing!The AP is in the running for best headline of the year:
Everything seemingly is spinning out of control
WASHINGTON (AP) — Is everything spinning out of control? Midwestern levees are bursting. Polar bears are adrift. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Home values are abysmal. Air fares, college tuition and health care border on unaffordable. Wars without end […]
