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

Precociously Skanktastic

Risking the wrath of feminists — who are already accusing her of misogynistic “slut-shaming” — Jennifer Moses wonders why “sexual liberation” must now be extended to middle-schoolers: Why do so many of us not only permit our teenage daughters to dress like this — like prostitutes, if we’re being honest with ourselves — but pay […]

Geraldine Ferraro Passes, Sarah Salutes
Update: Another WBC WTF

by Smitty (via Snark and Boobs on Twitter) News of the passage of Geraldine Ferraro saddens all. Prof. Jacobson has the shorter tribute: “I liked her, even when I disagreed with her.” Sarah Palin offers an extended salute: On the Passing of Geraldine Ferraro by Sarah Palin on Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 9:29pm My […]

Federal Reserve Offers Increased Kinetic Mumbojumbo Action (KMA)

by Smitty It’s almost as if (a) people are gaining the impression that central banking is the all-time winner in the Faustian bargain sweepstakes, and (b) the word about the peasants gathering pitchforks and torches is reaching fairly high places.
