Ugh. I’ve been saving these for a while since I had so little time for blogging.
All you have to do is read through them, one by one, to get an absolute belly full of how sexist a place DemocraticUnderground really is. These had all been allowed to stand at the time I plucked them, and [...]

Naomi Wolf would probably think I was way too easy on Palin, and I have to say I’d trust her on that. She’s pretty damned persuasive on the issue of fascism and police states, and knows her stuff. What she says about Palin is chilling:
He done her wrong…

Well, we all noted early on how cynical and sexist McCain was to pick Palin in the first place, apparently assuming Hillary supporters would support any woman, even an anti-woman woman, just because she is a woman. Of course, he also loves her for her base appeal, but that wasn’t all of the calculus in [...]

Blog note: Okay, so now and then I’m going to blog on something aside from feminism and sexism. This is one of those occasions.

Did you watch her speech? If not, you must, though I warn you in advance it’s a little rough. If you’re like me you too find it incredibly draining at a psychic level to be lied to repeatedly, and to have your own perfectly good, perfectly American values mocked and derided by implicaton.
While she delivered [...]

HELP! I’M SUFFOCATING UNDER AN AVALANCHE OF GOP CYNICISM

CAN’T QUITE PUT MY FINGER ON IT
My own reaction to Sarah Palin — to her as a human being, that is, not just a V.P. pick but especially as a V.P. pick — is that I can’t shake the surreality of it all, and there’s something about her that keeps bugging me but which I [...]

I’m going to post here, little by little, a whole smattering of different things about this Palin woman. There’s SO much going on.
BEST ANALYSIS
