Naomi Wolf: Don’t Think of a Scam

Katy Perry’s ‘glorification of violence’? Pop singers rarely show up on my radar. I’m more of a classic rock guy. My occasionaly interest in celebrity news tends more toward starlet meltdowns, and other such “Hollywood Babylon” stuff.

Washington delivered one of “the most jarring defeat(s)” ever inflicted upon […]

At CPAC 2012, Gabby and Christine were digging the manly men. Is Gabby Hoffman the world’s hottest young blogger, or what? Her essay on manliness was not only linked here, but was also linked in the AOSHQ Overnight Thread and even got the coveted Instalanche. Bloggers young and old must envy such precocious success.

Clarifying Friday’s Trayvon Martin Post

by Smitty On Friday I posted, pertinent to the charging instrument in the case of George Zimmerman “If The Strategy Was Always Propaganda, Why Is A Charging Instrument That Sounds Like The Squawk Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask A Surprise?” Once again, this time with emphasis: Law is based upon reason, and a reasonable […]
