Friday: Found in the spam filter

In case there is any doubt that the left has a serious problem with women, I thought I would share this stinky piece of spam I found in our spam filter this morning. The person who wrote this is too stupid to even think of a clever username.  He (it has to be a he) [...]

Gawker still doesn’t get it

As I’m sure you all know by now, the website Gawker published the salacious details of an alleged no-sex one night stand some guy claimed to have had with Christine O’Donnell. This was too much even for Andy Sullivan, and NOW as well as most feminist bloggers condemned the article. So did Gawker apologize? Not [...]

Sexism? What sexism?

The picture above is NOT A PARODY, it is the actual cover of Mother Jones magazine, a periodical named for a feminist icon: Mary Harris “Mother” Jones (August 1, 1837 – November 30, 1930), born in Cork, Ireland, was a prominent American labor and community organizer, who helped co-ordinate major strikes and co-founded the Industrial [...]

Rape as Entertainment

Remember the 15-year-old girl who was gang raped behind her High School in Richmond, California during a homecoming dance?

A while back I asked Who Kidnapped Digby? Today I saw this over [...]

If she was ugly, no one would vote for her

You have to see it to believe it. Some moron has meticulously photoshopped pictures of Sarah Palin to make her look plain. (S)He (you know it’s a guy) has removed her glasses, jewelry and make-up and restyled her hair. From Ann Althouse: This is an effort at defeminizing Sarah — like drawing a mustache on [...]

These are some stories that caught my eye. What are you reading? Is there anything big happening in the Village that I missed? First up: [...]

Friday Morning: David Shuster is Not a Journalist

Good Morning Conflucians!!! TGIF!!!!!!!! It’s 12 degrees here in the Boston ‘burbs. We had a little January thaw–about four days of temps in around 50 degrees. It was great. But now we’re back in the deep freeze. In fact with the wind child factor, it feels like below zero. So I think I’m going to [...]

A Couple of Brave Souls Dare to Praise Hillary Clinton

For the past few days, the Villagers and their media buddies have been poring over the trashy new book by John Heileman and Mark Halperin, Game Change. The person who seems to be having the most fun with the book is Ben Smith at Politico, who seemingly has been in the throes of an extended [...]
