Faux Real

What you should read since I’m not writing:

• The Family Brood: How To Clean Your House –
• Warm Biscuit Company: Vintage Fabric – Sooooo cute.
• Rape Victims Can Be Hurt Financially, Too – After being raped, expect to pay for your own rape kit.
• McCain’s long and ugly record on reproductive choice –
• A suggestion – “Elizabeth Cady Stanton died over a hundred years ago. The world has changed a bit since then; itâ��s really not necessary for feminism to remain trapped in amber.”
• Mike Huckabee, after being heckled by Code Pink Protesters – “The beauty of America is that a person can come and even make a disruption, and you know what, that person is not going to be taken out and shot.” Yes, I suppose that is a good thing.
• This Is How Very Important He Was – Herbert Spencer, the Brittney Spears of his time.
• HOW TO – Bake Your Own French Bread –
• HOW TO – Make Patterns with Photoshop – create repeating patterns by using Photoshop.
• The lyrebird sings the sounds of its own ending – Which is the more poignant thing: that the lyrebirdâ��s song has changed in the context of its doom, or that the lyrebird with its macadamia-sized brain is more adept at change than we are?
• You look for an ending – You look for an ending, and it is almost always obvious where that ending should be, and though the unpracticed often feel the urge to soften it, a good ending is of necessity abrupt.
• LOLTheist: Blasphemy is Teh Funneh –
• I love nappy hair and little girls should too – “Growing up, I learned to covet silky, straight hair; flaxen, â��bouncing and behavingâ�� hair; Cheryl Tiegs and Christie Brinkley hair.”
• Stone Court — He Said, “He Said.” – “We can’t simply waive our hands and say (as Gelernter does) that “he” really means “he or she” or that “fireman” does not imply gender.”
• White Men For Anybody But Hillary – The “who’d you have a beer with” crowd strikes again.
• Iâ��m a Feminist for Obama – Another feminist for Obama.
• On supporting Barack Obamaâ��s candidacy – AS A FEMINIST – Feminists for Obama.
• Hang Ten, Dude – “What I find most disappointing about Obama’s decision to distance himself from liberalism is the fact that he is better positioned than any Democrat in recent memory to reclaim that label by wearing it proudly.”
