How Much Longer Until Levi Johnston’s Fifteen Minutes of Fame Expire?

Gabriella Hoffman whacks that punk upside the head: Levi Johnston recently unveiled the cover of his book, Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs, slated for release on September 27th, 2011. This tell-all tripe details how the opportunist was “exploited” by the Palin family. . . . The narcissist impregnated Bristol Palin, […]

It’s Kinda Hard to ‘Work the Refs’ When the Refs Are Playing for the Other Team

One of my habits is re-reading good books. Any book worth reading is worth re-reading, and there are some books that I have read multiple times, including William Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France, and P.J. O’Rourke’s Parliament of Whores. Another habit, picked up during […]

Three Cups of Scam

I’ve previous blogged about how Greg Mortenson’s best-selling book, Three Cups of Tea, was exposed as fraudulent, casting doubts on Mortenson’s idea of peace through education.

“The so-called women’s movement has never been about equal rights for women. It’s about power for the female left. . . . “Feminists think they’re fighting a society that has wronged them.

Shrieking Outrage in 3, 2, 1 . . .

“The women’s movement used to be about honoring for women the same God-given rights that our country honored for men. It used to be about dignity and hope.
