The Other McCain

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

Coyote and Roadrunner

But which is which in this eternal argument with Little Miss Attila? No sooner have I dug what I intended as the last shovel-load of my ongoing violation of the First Rule of Holes than Attila delivers yet another provocation. Meep-meep!

Re-Reading Susan Brownmiller
Confronting the Radical Facts of Feminism

“God help us if she ever gets raped — we will be buried under an avalanche of rhetoric.” — James Wolcott, letter to the Village Voice, 1971 Little Miss Attila vowed Monday that she owes me an essay in response to a post I wrote, and she can write a damned book for all I […]

What I Said to Pete

Pete Da Tech Guy took a gander at my recent go-rounds with Little Miss Attila — as I’ve called it, “blogospheric badminton with ‘feminism’ for a shuttlecock” — and expressed his enjoyment of the discourse.
