Fatherhood

By: SusanofTexas Monday June 21, 2010 8:06 am

Another Father’s Day has come and gone, which means another flood of conservative posts declaring fatherhood is dead and Liberal Society was found standing over its corpse, red-handed. From Megan McArdle’s guest-blogger, Tony Woodlief: It’s striking that when one hears of someone being “mothered,” this evokes the image of caretaking, but “fathered” simply means, to [...]

He Stands On a Wall

Guys, seriously, the narcissism: The reasons for Obama’s decline in popularity in the Muslim world could find their origins in any number of perceptions. Perhaps he lost approbation with his orders for more troops in Afghanistan and the ongoing American military presence in the land of the Taliban. It is also possible that Obama is [...]

Advice for the Lovelorn

By: Allison Hantschel Saturday June 19, 2010 9:50 am

Reading Susan’s post here, I was reminded of my grandfather. Grandpa gave most of his advice with his actions, but he once told me, “Don’t marry a man who is mean to the waitress.” Grandpa was bit of a flirt with the wait staff. Didn’t matter if we were just going out for $2 burgers, [...]

Reaching Rock Bottom, Starting to Dig

By: Allison Hantschel Friday June 18, 2010 8:00 am

I started reading blogs via Salon during the very start of the Dean campaign, which makes me like grandma over here in the rocking chair bitching about these kids today and why they need to take pictures with their phones. I was jacked into the Matrix during the worst of the Bush administration’s offenses and [...]

Unprincipled scumbag thinks toothpaste will too go back in the tube

Joe Barton (R-Satan’s Colon): “I apologize for using the term ‘shakedown’ with regard to yesterday’s actions at the White House in my opening statement this morning, and I retract my apology to BP.” Apologies like this are a lot like blowjobs, Joe. Once you commit, spitting it back out just makes you look cheap.

When you’re trolling for fans on Mike Huckabee’s Facebook page: It’s not the most horrifying video linked there, actually. That honor goes to this. A.

By: Allison Hantschel Wednesday June 16, 2010 10:17 pm

While I can’t lay claim to the awesomeness of bassets, I do share my house with three little furry terrors of my own. See, I wanted a damn pet rabbit. Mr. A, when we were out one day looking at bunnies, fell in love with ferrets. We fought for a year, bunnyferretbunnyferretbunnyferret, then I caved, [...]

Somethin’ (else) to du

By: Jay B. Wednesday June 16, 2010 4:32 pm

You know, with free oil there for the taking on beaches across the Gulf of Mexico, you’d think things were this good everywhere. But they’re not. Even in this golden era of good feelings and optimism, there are places where not only do they have NO oil, they aren’t literally swimming in it. It seems [...]
