The AP’s on top of a crisis of enormous proportions:
Political insiders differed on whether Obama’s comments, which came to light Friday, would become a full-blown political disaster that could prompt party leaders to try to steer the nomination to Clinton even though Obama has more pledged delegates. Clinton supporters were eagerly hoping so.
Wow! A […]

Hello, sunshine! Hello, birds! Hello, Glenn Beck!
We all want to live in a world that’s clean, healthy and prosperous.
Whoa. That’s the most number of words Glenn Beck ever strung together with which I can agree. Though I’m sure his Ralph Lauren-soaked definition of the word prosperous (”A McMansion on every plot, […]

Jessica at Feministing finds another example of my favorite genre: Douchebag On Feminism. In this chapter in our infinite series, feminism has gone too far (dum dum dummmmmmm!)
I happen to speak fluent Douche, so let me translate for you. Blockquotes are Douchy McIssues, italics are translation, regular text is commentary.
So, in this wonderful […]

Slate’s new gals-only blog (called the XX Factor because it’s x-edgy to the x-treme, and also women have two X chromosomes while men have an X and a Y chromosome. Get it?) is drawing criticism for being eyeball-meltingly boring. Erica Barnett calls it “fucking DULL.” Gawker remains unimpressed by the writer’s “femiladyism.” […]

MSNBC lets the people speak in the elegantly named section “Gut Check America.” I have no idea what a ‘gut check’ is, and a quick google search suggests that it is something you get regularly in order to detect colon cancer early and also help you pick stocks. Either way, it provides […]

Q: If you’re part of the mainstream media, how do you paint a lying, partisan, criminal hack on his way out the door?
A: As noble victim of the same types of crimes he actually committed.
The Houston Chronicle’s piece this morning by Patty Reinart should be inserted in journalism textbooks as the seminal example of how […]

World Net Daily asks us environmentalist feminazis: what do you love more, bitch, your precious promiscuity or the planet?

While environmentalists are usually vocal about perceived threats ranging from pesticides to global warming, there is a silence when it comes to one threat already harming the water supply: hormones from birth-control pills.
…George Harden, a board member […]

Congratulations to Sweden, which, according to the World Economic Forum, is the best country to live in if you’re a woman. The friend from Stockholm who showed me this Marie Claire article on MSN about it agreed that, yes, Sweden is a pretty progressive place (though the current government is doing its best to undermine […]

Apparently, ABC/Disney and Fox have more in common than their fanboy crush on our heart-throb prezzie. Based upon recent on-air snafus, both networks also seem to have a bad case of the “they all look the same”s.
Shortly after Fox, ahem, accidentally played footage of John Conyers while discussing the William Jefferson indictment, […]

We’ve all seen it, but it’s still funny.

As true as that caption is, it hasn’t stopped the national media from obsessing over every couple lucky(?) enough to have 5 or more babies at once. The latest birth-a-thon occurred in Phoenix, where sextuplets were born to Jenny and Bryan Masche:
As doctors in a Phoenix hospital […]

What does it mean to be a man in a world where women refuse to follow last century’s script? Well, Laura Sessions Stepp doesn’t fucking know, but she does have a deadline so here, enjoy some random quotes surrounded by some stereotypes, and a completely inappropriate and random reference to Johnny Depp.

If you’re wondering […]

Terrorists could strike again at any moment — you don’t, nay, CAN’T know when it’ll happen again.
We were caught completely unawares by the villainy on 9/11… except for those memos floating around indicating plane-based attacks by al-Qaeda were imminent. Oh, and those briefings in which certain a “high level” government official […]
