Fired Up Woman of the Week: Amanda Terkel
Think of taking a vacation…think of relaxing…think of weekends with friends…and then imagine a Fox News Producer working for Bill “No Spin But Plenty of Shit” O’Reilly gets up in your face. What would you do?
Well, Amanda Terkel of Think Progress knew what she’d do. She would harness the power of the internet to make [...]
Invite to the Patriarchy Party
Dear Marilyn:
I’m so glad you wrote me about this. Kathryn Jean Lopez (hereinafter referred to as “the Feminator”) and her little column are creating quite the buzz on the street and on the web. From her article, you’d think women everywhere should be standing up, one by one, renouncing their right to be an [...]
Wouldn’t it be nice…
…to have a president who thinks before he speaks? After eight years of having one that doesn’t even think regardless of whether it’s before or after speaking, I think we can all agree that it’s a refreshing change.

From Granholm to Palin: No Apologies
Did Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm ruffle some feathers by calling out fellow female governor, Sarah Palin? Last weekend at a function, Granholm accused Palin of having “really set back the cause of hot governors.”
Well, some reporter with an axe to grind or story to invent thinks that it’s newsworthy and has questioned whether Granholm should [...]
Gloria Steinem is the reason teenagers don’t blame Chris Brown?
Howdy Sam,
I stumbled across this column after reading a blog that linked to another blog about said column.
The “site” is Townhall.com, which is the festering place for conservative trolls. A “columnist”, Kathryn Jean Lopez, cites feminism as the reason some little dipshits in a pop study done in Boston blame Rihanna for getting assaulted by [...]
The No-Spin Zone Stalks
Amanda Terkel at Think Progress was followed, stalked and ambushed by a Bill O’Reilly henchman on her vacation, no less, after Think Progress criticized O’Reilly’s anomical appearance at a fundraising event for the Alexa Foundation. According to Terkel:
On March 1, ThinkProgress picked up on a story by News Hounds, which noted that Fox News host [...]
Big Fat Mess
Why is it that I can’t go a day without finding some misguided story about fat in the news? I swear, I’ve seen the stock footage of the midsections of fat people more times than I care to remember. It’s like a constant ticker-tape of size discrimination floating around the world.
The latest story presents a [...]
Playing God With Human Rights
I feel like this is going to be a regular sitcom-esque parade of idiocy with this guy. From Day One he has pissed me off in a way I didn’t know was possible. Sure I disagreed with JPII, but there were a lot of things I agreed with him on as well. This Benedict fellow [...]
A Good Feminist’s Dillemma: Kelly Clarkson and Feminism
Last week, Kelly Clarkson released her newest CD “All I Ever Wanted,” featuring the hit song “My Life Would Suck Without You.” The song is an upbeat tale of love and dysfunction that, although not the model of great relationships, is probably closer to the truth than many of us are willing to recognize. [...]
Stimulus Rejection: Governor Perry Messes With Texans
Standing by your ideals is an honorable goal. And even though I don’t applaud everyone’s ideals, I do appreciate when people stand by them. There is an exception to this applause though and that comes when a person’s need to stand by his or her ideals causes others harm. And that’s exactly what Governor Perry [...]
