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

Freaks of the Week

Now that Belle Knox has convinced everybody that porn is “empowerment,” we can dismiss all those old-fashioned ideas about right and wrong as just a “societal construct” by which the patriarchy enforces “ascribed gender roles.” Nevertheless, some people still manage to take their “sexual autonomy” just a wee bit too far: Cindy Mauro, 34, and Alini Brito, […]

Is Everything Feminist ‘Empowerment’ Now? Or Is @Belle_Knox a Sociopath?

“Ever since I was a child, I’ve had some masochistic tendencies. When I was a young girl and my friend and I would play house, I would ask her to lock me in her dog cage. . . . It was exciting. It was different. “I can’t explain why rough sex and pain arouses me; […]

Washington Post Smears Koch

John Hinderaker at Powerline shows how two Washington Post writers produced a story based on a report by “the far-left International Forum on Globalization” which falsely claims Koch Industries is “the biggest lease owner” in the Alberta tar sands, so as to create the equally false impression that the XL Pipeline is all about benefiting […]

Best. Wife. Ever.

Maura Fussell, 26, gives us reason to hope. Sometimes, the daily grind of the news can get you down. Politics is depressing, and cable TV won’t shut the hell up about that stupid Malaysian plane.

Celebrity News: ‘Flamboyant’ Skater Johnny Weir Divorces His Gay Husband

Whenever I get bored with politics, there’s always the celebrity tabloid headlines at WeSmirch. Of course, most of these “celebrities” nowadays are reality-TV personalities you never heard of, and the stories are mostly exercises in trivial silliness. Radar Online uses the stereotypical adjective “flamboyant” to describe former Olympic skater (and NBC Sports commentator) Johnny Weir, […]

At War With God and Nature: @AmandaMarcotte’s Darwinian Fate

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” — Genesis 1:28 (KJV) “I don’t want a baby. […]

Premature Obituary?

Josh Kraushaar at National Journal argues that the Tea Party is dead, while at The Federalist, Ben Domenech says that what Kraushaar interprets as rigor mortis is actually evidence of the Tea Party’s success. My own opinion on the subject is nuanced. Having been immersed in the Tea Party movement from its inception, I considered […]
