Feminists: Dishonest, Crazy or Both?

We don’t expect honesty or sanity from Amanda Marcotte: Bolder Anti-Sex Arguments Coming From Religious Right You can be anti-promiscuity without being “anti-sex,” and Marcotte’s casual conflation of the two phenomena tells you much more about feminism’s agenda than it does about what the “Religious Right” is up to. Lisa Graas replies to Marcotte’s sexual […]

You Should Have Listened to Glenn Beck

In May 20, 2010, when I first took note of Rep. Anthony Weiner’s attack on Glenn Beck for promoting gold, the price was $1,192.60 per ounce. Now here’s Monday’s headline from Bloomberg: Gold Tops $1,600, Surges to Record in Longest Rally in 31 Years on Debt Monday’s price was $1,607.90 an ounce, which means gold […]

An Eternal Truth: ‘Getting Your Eyebrow Pierced Does Not Make You Any Less Fat’

That brilliant aphorism was spoken by a friend of my teenage son, after a visit to the local convenience store. This wisdom seemed important to share, along with my own observation: No woman has ever improved her looks by getting a tattoo.

While We Have Not Yet Sold Any $120,000 7-Carat Diamond Rings …

. . . I was very pleased to see on the Amazon Associates sales report that one of our readers bought a Motorola Xoom Android Tablet for $499.00, thus earning me a sweet 4% commission of $19.96. Another reader bought a Nikon CoolPix camera for $109 — a $4.36 commission for me. Ka-ching! And then […]

It’s Not News, But Why Miss a Chance to Use ‘Palin’ in a Deceptive Headline?

Today’s news from the Department of Deceptive Headlines: Bristol Palin To Star In A Reality Show With Disney Channel’s Kyle Massey Checking my calendar — yep, it’s July 18 — I point out this headline from a press release issued on May 9: BIO CHANNEL GREENLIGHTS UNTITLED BRISTOL PALIN, CHRISTOPHER MASSEY AND KYLE MASSEY DOCU-SERIES Permit […]

Krikorian on Cain, Islam and Immigration

Mark Krikorian semi-disagrees with Herman Cain: If a large and growing Muslim population represents a threat to liberty — and I believe, with Cain, that it does — then that’s yet another reason to reduce future immigration. But once you admit people, we’re bound to judge them individually, by the same yardstick we use for […]

See? B.S.!

Ed Morrissey does an excellent evisceration of a blatantly deceptive CBS News poll: Have Democrats leaped to an eleven-point registration advantage in the last five weeks?  In early June, a CBS News poll showed a D/R/I sample of 30/30/40, which undersampled both parties slightly in favor of independents, even weighting it to slightly favor Republicans.

It Depends on How You Define ‘Success’

“According to Jim Messina, his campaign manager, through the second quarter of 2011, President Obama now has 552,000 contributors to his 2012 re-election campaign. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that during the same two quarters, the U.S. economy generated 260,000 jobs. In other words, Obama attracted twice as many campaign donors as his […]
