Joe Scarborough Makes The Point

Filed in National by on January 18, 2011 4 Comments

I can’t stop thinking about the Tucson shooting.  I have even started talking to myself as I go about my day.  In my one-on-one conversations I always come back to the same point about violence and rhetoric.  Joe Scarborough, in a letter calling out Palin and Beck by name, puts my thoughts into words: You […]

Drivel

Occasionally, I pop over to Delaware Politics.  There’s nothing like a big dose of crazy to keep a person focused, and FVoshell’s latest piece, aptly titled Us and Them, brings on a whole new level of crazy.  It’s not just that she’s wrong – she is – it’s that she’s based her entire post on […]

Resignation Watch

We’ve all been watching the great Republican purge for about one year now. Republicans like Dede Scozzafava and David Frum have been kicked out of being Republicans in good standing for not showing sufficient deference to wingnut orthodoxy. We’ve watched Republican party leaders like Michael Steele and Eric Cantor have to apologize for offending conservative […]

Conservatives And Their Need To Control Women

Filed in National by on November 9, 2009 35 Comments

For over a year I have pondered over the Republican man-child.  And while I do believe their views on abortion, marriage, and women can pretty much be summed up by saying “it’s about the sex,” I’ve come to realize that that’s only a sophomoric side effect.  It’s really about control – control over women. Grab […]

David Brooks Lives In The Dream World Of Sluts While Pining Over Fonzi

Words cannot express how sick I am over articles like this.  Let’s highlight the best parts of how texting has led to promiscuity. Once upon a time — in what we might think of as the “Happy Days” era — courtship was governed by a set of guardrails. Potential partners generally met within the context […]

Overreacting to ACORN

I am a little disturbed by the latest round of ACORN bashing in Washington this week.  After a pair of conservative actors staged their own sting operation to see if ACORN employees would help them operate an illegal business, there have been a slew of actions taken.  ACORN has lost business that they had with […]

Longing For The Days Of The Child Bride

Filed in National by on September 17, 2009 13 Comments

Michael Gerson’s Washington Post’s Lost In A World Without Courtship article is silly and shallow.  It also completely ignores one of the major factors determining when people decide to marry.  Economics. But the facts of life for 20-somethings are challenging. Puberty — mainly because of improved health — comes steadily sooner. Sexual activity kicks off […]
