The Other McCain

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

Yes, Ma’am, However …

[Picture removed] OK, my “SlutWalkDC” photos got zapped — blame Joan of Arc — but a guy named Ted got a photo of me taking a photo. As for the girl’s poster, it should be the title of a TV series, or maybe a textbook, but it’s at least a  T-shirt slogan. However, thinking back to […]

WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.

OK, the story that was here is gone. Having heard from the girl in the photo, who made it clear that I misread her “SlutWalk DC” protest sign, I decided that a mere correction was insufficient. Her sign said she “didn’t want to press charges,” and my concern was that the perpetrator (the 24-year-old who […]

Blame Joan of Arc

WASHINGTON, D.C. My photos of “Slutwalk DC” got zapped — “It was a glitch! It was a technical malfunction!” to quote Gus Grissom — while I was trying to load them from the disc of my wife’s camera, which I was using because my faithful pink “Barbie cam” is broken. So you won’t get to […]

Slut Walk: Dumbed-Down Feminism and the Politics of Mindless Protest Chic

Today at 11 a.m., angry women — perhaps dozens of them — will gather in Washington for “SlutWalk DC,” a fundamentally pointless exercise in public stupidity that will accomplish nothing except to give the participants a chance to say they’ve done something.

James DiMaggio, 40, could be fleeing north toward the Canadian border with Hannah Anderson, the girl […]

Losers on the Romantic Demand Side

One of the worst things a guy can do — women can do the same thing, but in a different way and, trust me, there’s a reason I’m making this about guys — is to overestimate their own attractiveness, or to fixate on an “ideal” of beauty in a partner. This isn’t really an either/or, […]

On This Day In 1945…

— Wombat-socho …the United States Army Air Force dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, and six days after that the Japanese agreed to an unconditional surrender. Ever since then, all manner of intellectualloids have been moaning about the inhumanity of it all, how it didn’t need to happen, and 31 other flavors of morally superior […]

21 Books – Conclusion

— Wombat-socho Von Ryan’s Express, David Westheimer ” …if only one man gets out, it’s a victory.” I have to admit, I like the movie version of this book a lot better, even though the book does a better job of explaining why Ryan is such a martinet and also has a sequel, which the […]
