North Star Liberal, which decided to launch by calling Margaret Anderson Kelliher fat and mannish. Of course, it’s okay because they also mocked the appearances of male politicians, which, er, only makes things worse. Also, it’s “snarky,” which is evidently now code for “place where people who claim [...]
So as you may recall, a couple weeks ago Hannity “accidentally” used video from Glenn Beck’s 9/12 rally to show how well-attended Rep. Michele Bachmann’s rally was. An easy mistake, of course — anybody could accidentally mistake raw footage of a recent rally with archival footage from a completely different [...]
I am trying very hard to see where Newsweek’s choice to use Sarah Palin’s Runner’s World photo as their cover is a horribly sexist decision that belittles women everywhere. No, seriously, I am — I’m aware I’m not going to see a flaw the first time I look at something, [...]
I’m going to imagine “2012″ happens in the same universe as “The Ugly Truth,” so all those characters die horribly.
[...]First off, let me note that I hate Carrie Prejean as much as the next sentient human.
That out of the way, it’s time for me to defend Carrie Prejean.
As you may have heard, former Miss California USA-slash-anti-gay activist Carrie Prejean has a sex tape that’s gotten loose, and perhaps [...]
To the Indians Who Died in Africa
by T. S. Eliot
A man’s destination is his own village,
His own fire, and his wife’s cooking;
To sit in front of his own door at sunset
And see his grandson, and his neighbour’s grandson
Playing in the dust [...]
The Cold War was a fact of life.
My parents had grown up during it; I had grown up during it. And I had little doubt my children would grow up during it. From before my parents were born, the Soviet Union and the United States of America [...]
At least one Republican, Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz., says he’ll vote present on the amendment, and has four or five other members of the GOP who will join him. That may not be enough to scuttle the amendment, but it would make it close — Stupak has claimed between [...]
Today should be a good day. It should be a day when Democrats and decent people celebrate the passage of health care reform out of the House of Representatives. But unfortunately, the usual suspects have decided that health care can’t be reformed if said reform leads to women having control [...]
And discovers the sinister plot to steal Glenn Beck’s precious bodily organs.
Is he crazy, or is he so sane he just blew your mind?
[...]I don’t have anything to say right now. Awful is awful, and we’ll have time to dissect which particular flavor of awful this is soon enough. For now, keep the dead and wounded in your thoughts.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Mike Doughty.
So I have T-Mobile for my wireless carrier, which means, evidently, that I don’t get to talk to anyone today. Thus defeating the entire point of having a mobile phone. The good news is that I share this joy with every other T-Mobile customer in the U.S. Thanks guys. [...]
Well! I can’t endorse viral pneumonia as a fun activity, though if you really like feeling like death warmed over and like your lungs to have that full-of-liquid feeling, it probably is for you. At any rate, I’m finally feeling marginally better, so posting should resume, [...]
