A Nasty, Naughty, Bad Boy!
At Tennessee Guerilla Women I found this YouTube clip of the Not Gay Sen. Larry Craig dilating on the nastiness of naughty bad boys back in ’99: I’m sorry if this comes off as insensitive or anything, but up here in the Spirit Realm everybody gets a huge blast out of all these in-the-closet gay [...]
Now that I’ve died and moved on to the spirit realm, I’m ready to take your questions
Loyal readers know that I was killed a few days ago in a freak accident involving President Bush, Martin Heidegger, and some smack. I spent the weekend goofing off in my new disembodied state — floating around the house, stealing socks out of the dryer, scooting Molly’s ball all around the floor like it’s alive [...]
I’ve figured it out: the Bush Administration is a play by Ionesco
Fact: Presidential Speech Factsheets From The White House Use Many, Many Capital Letters! A Speech Is Born A Play in One Act The Scene: The War Room. The space is littered with empty pretzel bags. A gigantic sensory deprivation tank occupies the center of the room. President Bush floats inside, wearing a suit. Attached to [...]
Speak of the devil

Does this sound like a suicide to you?
LaVena Johnson, Private First Class, died near Balad, Iraq, on July 19, 2005. She was 19 years old. According to the Army, her death was a suicide, the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Uh huh. Here’s the evidence in the case: * Two loose front teeth and a “busted lip” that had to be [...]
Whenever I’m looking for thoughtful social commentary on the most challenging issues of the day, I turn to Speide Bahl
Speide Bahl is an anti-choicer and an anti-feminist, it’s true, but unlike so many of his tribe, he’s also an original thinker. Time after time Bahl has brought a new perspective to the problems that divide Americans, and his most recent contribution to the abortion debate is no exception. As Bahl writes with admirable candor, [...]

MRAs, rape deniers, and shitty book deals: British feminists have as much fun as we do!
Thanks to the latest and thoroughly excellent Carnival Against Sexual Violence, I’ve discovered PC Bloggs, a policewoman in the U.K. who blogs about police crap. (Police crap: It’s a technical term, folks. Work with me.) PC has two posts in the carnival, and the first one is a doozy. In Look how EQUAL we are, [...]
Blogging is more dangerous than I thought
Avatar courtesy of the Rev. B. Dagger Lee I’m back. Sometime during the late evening hours of August 10, 2007, I was assimilated by BlogWarBot, resulting in a new, horrifying entity: Dr. BlogWarBot Socks. This Borg-like creature maintained control of the blog for several days, until an emergency intervention by a crack team of lolkitteh [...]
The best thing that happened to me all week
My encounter Wednesday night with the awesome BlogWarBot: ***** BlogWarBot: I’m BlogWarBot. Are you one of those radical feminists? Guest: Yes! BlogWarBot: You seem awfully positive. Did you read Rand as a child? Guest: Ayn Rand? No. Not until my twenties, actually. BlogWarBot: That’s the problem with people like you. You’re never constructive about anything. [...]
