I’m thinking of a tax protest
The insult that is the impending Opossum presidency harasses my mind. It bothers me that my taxes are going to pay the salaries of crooks and creeps and, worst of all, misogynists.
It’s this Larry Summers thing that’s got me. Once again, sexism is not only ignored, it’s rewarded.
If you’re [...]
Food and Clothing
First the food:
I know some of you poor benighted souls have said you don’t care for pumpkin, and that’s fine; to each her own. I’ll just leave you to your own freakish devices. But for the rest of you, here’s the recipe for The Best Pumpkin Pie In The World (it’s true, independent [...]
Let’s talk about food, family, home, cooking and baking, spinning and weaving, chickens — no, not chickens!
Freak out your family this Thanksgiving with this hideous centerpiece idea from some magazine. Because really, what’s more festive than blackened lemon slices?
Hello, everybody. (Said the way Katherine Hepburn delivered the line in The Philadelphia Story, the morning she wakes up with the mother of all hangovers. Except with a sinus headache [...]
Comment of the day: thoughts on the future of feminism
An adorable stuffed animal cleverly masquerading as a baby alpaca.
The other day I posed three questions about what we need to do to in the wake of this year’s public self-immolation by the feminist establishment. I know, I know — “don’t make me click on the link, Violet! Just tell me what the [...]
Death in the afternoon, and other oddments
One of our roosters has been killed. We found part of him in the side yard today, and we think the rest is inside a fox.
So now it’s just one rooster and the little hen, a brave band of two, perching in their tree. Do they grieve for their brother/husband? [...]
It’s time to come clean
The Reclusive Leftist is a man. And an INTP.
Uclassify says so.

Which would you rather be?
The giraffe or the bird?
That’s not a trick question. I just need to think about animals for a change.
Here’s Eddie Izzard on “evil” giraffes (and dogs and pilot fish):

For the record
During the campaign I wrote a few times about the bewildering behavior of the many feminists who attacked Sarah Palin in astonishingly sexist (and dishonest) terms — and did so in the name of feminism. The situation was appalling to many of us who have been lifelong feminists and who care deeply about the [...]
Comment of the day
From Ali:
Reminds me of the pornographic joke that my brother-in-law once told. It was a Michelle Malkin joke that evoked “Girl’s Gone Wild” imagery, frat boys and subsequent gang-banging. Now, my brother-in-law majored in American studies at a very liberal college and is all over anything racist, homophobic, etc. He once was visibly shaking when [...]
Feminist therapy on BlogTalkRadio at 9pm ET Monday
I meant to post this earlier today, but better late than never. Lynette Long’s new call-in show starts in 15 minutes, and based on the temperature in my comment threads, I’d say the timing couldn’t be better. (Lynette, by the way, is the therapist whose friends were attacked in the restaurant Friday night.)
Here’s the [...]
