The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Leave Brent Musberger Alone!

Katherine Webb: Not bad to look at, despite attending Auburn. If he needs a Chris Crocker, I’ll step up to defend the ESPN announcer who — while Alabama was dismantling Notre Dame in the BCS game — felt obliged to report the Neutral Objective Facts: “You see that lovely lady there, she does go to […]

‘Learning French,’ IYKWIMAITYD

Valérie Allain as Mireille Belleau in French in Action (1987) “Many have criticized the depiction of Mireille as gratuitously sexist. The camera often lingers on the actress’s chest and bare legs. ‘You’re seeing the videotape through a male gaze,’ said one female teaching assistant who asked not to be identified.” — New York Times, March […]

Boehlert’s Nemesis @BethanyBowra Now Takes Sandra Fluke to the Woodshed; UPDATE: Pwnage Complete After Boehlert Blocks Bowra on Twitter

Bethany Bowra is a 16-year-old high school student who has already achieved remarkable success. And by “remarkable success,” of course I mean, she got denounced on Twitter by Eric Boehlert. Of all the obnoxious bozos on the Left who hated Andrew Breitbart, none hated him more than Eric Boehlert, so it’s sort of like a Pulitzer Prize […]

The Slut Paula Broadwell

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way, eh? Aren’t feminists who embrace the “slut” label (e.g., “Slutwalk“) all about empowerment and liberation? And if you are an empowered liberated woman, what difference does it make if you’re married or your partner is married? All those silly vows — “Forsaking all others” […]

Obscure Ex-Starlet @SophiaBush Sticks Her #LadyParts Out on Twitter, With Hilariously Predictable Results

Civility™ is getting so complicated, I just can’t keep up with all the new rules, in the same way I have trouble keeping track of which former starlets actually count as “celebrities.” Last night, after I filed my American Spectator column about the debate — strategically, a win for Romney — I was kind of […]

@Gabby_Hoffman Wonders Whether Her Brain Also Counts as a ‘Lady Part’

Has any recent phenomenon been more strange than the Left’s embrace of the Vagina Monologues as an expression of female “empowerment”? This theme — gynecology as ideology — reveals the underlying narcissistic appeal of identity politics, wherein the craving for self-esteem is satisfied by celebrations of group solidarity This groupthink trend is what causes leftists to attack actress Stacey Dash […]

Memo to Code Pink: Perhaps You Have Misunderstood the ‘Pussy Riot’ Concept

“. . . the last remains of social order will speedily perish, and society will be overwhelmed in savage anarchy.” Pussy Riot is an all-female Russian rock band whose members were sentenced to prison for a protest against Vladimir Putin. It is my theory that Glenn Reynolds keeps writing about their case not merely because of […]

Feminists Celebrate Chi-Com Swimmer, Exaggerate Olympic Record

Feminists can ruin anything, even a 16-year-old’s gold medal. When China’s Ye Shiwen set a record time in the 400-meter individual medley, headline writers created the false impression that she swam faster than the men’s champion, Ryan Lochte. Selwyn Duke at The American Thinker explains the misperception: The  confusion stems from the fact that Ye […]
