National Offend a Feminist Week 2010

Wow, has it really been an entire year since May 2, 2009, when we inaugurated this tradition? To quote the charter: Hey, sweetheart, when I say “bring me a cup of coffee,” I mean bring me fresh coffee, OK? Bloggers: It is once again National Offend A Feminist Week. Your expressions of reactionary, oppressive, patriarchal, misogynistic traditionalism […]

‘Every Campaign Needs to Have a Sicilian Guy in a Fedora’ — Roxeanne De Luca

That’s what she said when I called her during my latest trip to PA-12, where Tim Burns is barely two weeks away from the May 18 special election for Jack Murtha’s old House seat. Definitely a job for Da Tech Guy, especially since he’s now covering the Boston Tea Party beat.  Lots of Tea Party volunteers […]
