Ed Schultz Calls Laura Ingraham ‘Slut’; Feminist Outrage at MSNBC in 3, 2, 1 …

What? No? You mean feminists aren’t threatening a boycott over this? President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when […]

Kathy Shaidle Smacks Kirsten Powers

Strangely enough, Kathy smacks Kirsten for a silly quote in that rarity: A Kirsten Powers column I actually agree with.

Not Quite Sure What to Make of This

One of the basic principles of blogging is, Know Where Your Traffic Is Coming From. How are readers reaching your site? Are they coming from links at other blogs?

The Boston Herald reports: It’s not every day […]

Amity Shlaes Has a Big Sexy Brain

  Back in February we took notice of the “Draft Amity Shlaes for Senate” campaign proposed by Adam Brickley, who was the first to suggest Sarah Palin as GOP vice-presidential timber in 2008. It seems to have gotten an enthusiastic response — “Amity Shlaes Senate” yields 278,000 Google results.

Pneumonia Update, Etc.

Three days since I went to the emergency room. I’m coughing less, but my chest is still sore. Everybody keeps telling me to drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest. Which I do, but then news happens and I feel the need to blog it. Also, there are feminists who need to be […]
