i want to show this to all the conservatives whining about the sexism against sarah palin. to hear stuff like that from wealthy white men who’ve never used the word “sexism” before last week’s Newsweek cover is really ridiculous. (i agree it was sexist, but i believe the editors fell back on sexism in their effort to avoid putting her on the cover in a manner that looked as if they were taking her seriously; using a photo of her in a sexist manner is easier than trying to find a photo that shows how ridiculous her ideology is.) but it’s funny that these conservative men are crying foul for that, then turning around and calling palin a “chick” and saying she should go shoot a bear and make some stew cuz they’re hungry. ugh. (literally, Beck did.) the video’s after the jump. (and let’s not forget how Beck and Hannity cawed about Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu being a “prostitute” for getting millions of dollars for Medicare in her state. sexism is universal, not just for you to exploit to make cheap political points, ass-clowns.)

actually, this might be the quote of the week:
“The only way Republicans will read the Health Care Bill is to rest it on the back of the hooker they’re banging down at C Street House.”
oh, Wanda Sykes, the more political humor you do, the more i like you. and i want your shirt. (except it’s spelled “wack.”)

“[T]here’s no better training ground for politics than motherhood.”
-Sarah Palin, in Going Rogue
i feel like–maybe–we ought to ask Hilary what she thinks on that. maybe sexy sarah thinks that because she went and had five kids because the Bible told her to do her husband’s bidding and not to use any contraception and lost control of her home… but let’s humor her and briefly compare motherhood and politics. the old joke about politicians and diapers notwithstanding, how the fuck could she seriously make that comparison??
i need one of two things to happen: she needs to retire to Alaska and never be heard from again, or become a pariah in American media, held up for ridicule and for laughs. by everybody, not just the Left.
runner-up quote after the jump! (more…)

i wish i could say i was this enlightened when i was 10. i wish i could say i knew more people over the age of 25 who were this aware of their political surroundings, the practical meanings of political buzzwords and the consequences of political actions. but this guy can serve as an inspiration for those chuckleheads and as a ray of hope for a generation i have considered lost since the advent of faux-lebrities, ‘tween “sexting,” 15-year-old hipsters and miley cyrus.
but if i were a 10-year-old girl in Arkansas (god forbid), i’d be in love with Will Phillips. he got in trouble at school for choosing not to stand a recite the Pledge of Allegiance with the rest of his class. in this age of knee-jerk “patriotism,” some may question why i’m extolling the virtues of a 10-year-old punk who’s making trouble in his fifth-grade class. well, that’s because he refuses to pledge allegiance to a country with discriminatory policies against a portion of its citizens: teh gheyz. yup, Will’s a 10-year-old gay rights advocate. and not just because his parents are allies. he actually understands what the words of the Pledge say and sees the inconsistencies between “liberty and juatice for all” and the prohibition of same-sex marriage and other laws regarding (or without regard for) the LGBTQI community.
more about him here.

here's your proof!
the president of the Catholic League wrote a book. no, that part’s serious. his publishers put out a press release with the obligatory glowing reviews by esteemed colleagues and such. most would argue that the people who proofed this thing don’t have TV or the internet. i, however, would argue that they do.
(see the whole press release here.)

i am a peruser of blogs and a lot of time i read the comments on posts that i find interesting to see what other people’s takes on the issue are. (i’m speaking mostly of jezebel because most other blogs are frequented by morons who comment out of their asses. with horrible spelling, and not just to beat the filters.) but just now i read jezebel’s post on ellen degeneres and portia de rossi who were on oprah to talk about their marriage, and i came across this comment, which i found remarkable for a couple reasons: a) because it is so long, and b) because it is so well thought-out (although at times not so perfectly worded.) regardless, i thought that it was worth putting here, if only for myself, but also because it’s such a funny/poignant counterpoint to -Z-’s moron fifth-grade teacher’s blathering about feminism and gender roles.

a.k.a. the GOP
so, i understand that misogyny is a part of American culture, as much as i detest it (and sometimes, admittedly, find funny.) but i didn’t understand that it was a part of our fucking government. jesus christ, are these guys for real??
