Rule 5 Sunday: Not Your Normal Graduation Picture

— compiled by Wombat-socho Earlier this week, University of Tennessee coed Brenna Spencer set off a furor online by posing for this pic and posting it to Twitter, thus: The Tweet predictably triggered many of the usual suspects, and to her credit, Miss Spencer didn’t back up, not one millimeter. Good on her. More suitable […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Lieutenant Dish

— compiled by Wombat-socho Growing up as an Air force brat, I’ve always been fond of women in uniform, and Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H had plenty of those – Sally Kellerman as chief nurse “Hot Lips” Houlihan, Tamara Horrocks as Capt. “Knocko” McCarthy, but most of all, JoAnn Pflug as Lieutenant Maria “Dish” Schneider, who saves […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Nikki Nicole

— compiled by Wombat-socho One of the ways social media has changed things is that models no longer have to blow a lot of money on having photos taken for portfolios, which they then have to lug around to agencies. Now they can post the pics online, which means that not only can agents more […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Larger Than Life

— compiled by Wombat-socho Many years ago, when CPAC was still at the Hotel Formerly Known As The Sheraton Park in DC, Stacy introduced me to Dana Loesch, who was well-known in conservative circles as a talk show hostess but had not yet exploded onto the national scene as the spokeswoman for the NRA. We […]

Late Night With Rule 5 Sunday
Sailor Moon Goes To The Olympics

— compiled by Wombat-socho As previously mentioned in other Rule 5 posts, I’ve been avoiding the Olympics. However, with my extensive contacts in anime fandom, it was impossible to miss the wonderful performance by Russian skater Evgenia Medvedeva. Medvedeva, you see, is a huge fan of the classic anime Sailor Moon, and in fact defended […]

Rule 5 Monday: Mash Note

— compiled by Wombat-socho Sometimes the inspiration tank runs dry, and I have to spend an hour or two racking my brain for an appropriate subject for the weekly Rule 5 post. At first, being mindful that Valentine’s Day was just a few days ago, I was going to go with this sad scene: Then […]
