Mommy Wars: Battle of the Booze
Published January 30th, 2007 in Family, Feminism, Idiots and Suburbia. 4 CommentsI’m sorry that Melissa got dragged on national television and made to look like an alcoholic. Really, because regular mommies are babysitters, help hired by studly working husbands, so says Meredith Viera.
The psychologist is ‘on board’ with the whole thing. She’s a mother herself and understands. She’s just there to set limits and to […]

Linda Hirshman: Be Shocking, Be Loud
Published January 30th, 2007 in Feminism and Politics and News. 6 CommentsOne more reason why Linda Hirshman should be ignored by rational feminists: When writing about the 2008 Presidential election, it’s ridiculous to think that women are a solid voting bloc who would choose a woman candidate based on her gender alone, even though she may not represent women’s social and economic interests strongly or […]
Ethan’s worst nightmare.
It’s a shame we had to have the Gnarls Barkley radio mania for the mainstream to take notice of Cee-lo Green other than as an add-on collaborator for other people’s songs. For one thing, he’s a fantastic singer (if a so-so rapper) and fond of an earlier style of soul that really compliments his […]

I’m pretending to clean house and feed myself:
I don’t know what my problem is but today I got really excited about starting my garden this spring, not that I ever have time to take care of it. Shit, my Christmas tree is still up. E wants us to plant flowers and I have […]
I admit I have a thing for Geena Davis — I fell in love with her at 11 watching A League Of Their Own in the theater. Even though I played all kinds of sports as a kid, softball was the one that stuck, ’stuck’ being the operative word since my ass was stuck […]
