The Media’s President

“Obama: Anatomy of a World Leader,” by Alex Gray (detail) Da Tech Guy makes the obvious point: The reason the media aren’t going after the IRS scandal is because Barack Obama is their president. Not since JFK’s fictitious “Camelot” have the media invested so heavily in maintaining the image of a president, an image of competence […]

Democrat 2016 Hopeful Schweitzer Implodes After ‘Gaydar’ Comment

If you were betting on former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer as a 2016 Democrat presidential dark horse, you just lost. Out of a clear blue sky, in a total non sequitur, Schweitzer decided to gay-bait a Republican — and every man in the South while he was at it: Last week, I called him on […]

‘The First Time She Molested Me, I Was Three. The Last Time, I Was Twelve’

Moira Greyland is the daughter of famed novelist Marion Zimmer Bradley, who died in 1999. Greyland’s father — Bradley’s second husband, Walter Breen — was accused of sexually molesting a 12-year-old boy in 1989, ten years after he separated from Bradley, who was accused of covering up her for husband’s pedophile activities.

During the past several months, there have been questions about Hillary Clinton’s health and some speculation she might have had a mild stroke. This speculation comes to mind as I read Jonathan V.

Young Feminist Has Problems

Erin McKelle Fischer (@ErinMcKelle) is a Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies major at Ohio University whose name I recognized because in February I quoted her denunciation of “heteronormative” virginity: “The idea of your first penis-in-vagina sexual encounter being something significant and life altering (well, for women anyway) has origins in women being considered property. “That is […]

Porn, Shame and Suicide

Last month, I wrote about the death of Alyssa Funke, a 19-year-old who committed suicide two weeks after appearing in a porn video: If you do porn, it’s going to be on the Internet, and if it’s on the Internet, everybody’s going to see it. There is no way you can have a “secret” porn […]
