Sarah Palin
Emily’s List
First of all, let me apologize for my absence. I have been so busy running the world with the Secret Feminist Cabal® that I actually forgot to update my blog. I know, I feel like Steve Martin saying that—”I forgot to pay my taxes”—but it’s true. I just lost track of [...]
What does Sarah Palin actually believe?
Here we go again. The topic is Sarah Palin and her putative feminism, and just typing those words has made my stomach clench up in knots. Jesus. I have no brief for Sarah Palin. I don’t like her, frankly, and I don’t care about her. I do, however, care about [...]
The Unresolvable Paradox
When long-time commenters write to tell me they’re confused, then I know that what we have here is a failure to communicate. The topic in question is Sarah Palin (who else?), and the scene of confusion is this thread.
So let me quote part of what I emailed to one commenter:
What drove me [...]
Palin really is the right-wing woman that the faux-feminists claimed Hillary to be
It’s time for another edition of “comments that should have been posts.” I’m elevating this one to post status because a) it’s true, and b) it’s the kind of thing that gets our stomach acids going for days here in the Smoking Lounge.
At any rate, over in the Hillary poll [...]
Poll: if Palin runs in 2012, will that entice Hillary to run again?
Sarah Palin is a gifted politician. She may be crazy and wrong about a lot of stuff, but she’s still a charismatic leader. Read, for example, this thoughtful comment by Ciccina — who, I assure you from secret personal knowledge, is as much a radical feminist as myself. As Ciccina says, “she’s [...]
Oh, goody: years and years of double standards to look forward to
Will it never end? Tonight the news is full of yammering about Sarah Palin writing on her hand. This is apparently more evidence that she is a moron bimbo from outer space, etc., etc., etc.
I used to have a boyfriend who wrote on his hand. I thought it was a rather juvenile [...]
This is actually funny

The Dalai Lama and other good dudes
It’s Dude Day here at the Reclusive Leftist, wherein we acknowledge the work of various dudes who are more or less on the side of The Good. This is a totally new thing which I just now came up with mostly because I need a theme for this post. Arthur Silber Link + [...]
The female Andrew Jackson
(And now, a brief digression from our ongoing Diocletian working session, which continues here and here.)
Someone emailed me last night about Sarah Palin. “Do you think she’s going to run for president?” my correspondent asked.
Of course she’s going to run for president. She’s already running for president.
I knew that the day she resigned [...]
“She would have to be somebody’s Pygmalion project”
That’s Ron Kaufman talking about Sarah Palin and what would have to happen for her to run for president. Who’s Ron Kaufman? Some Republican dude you never heard of. Who’s Sarah Palin? Only the most famous Republican politician in the world, a woman who in one year has risen from near-obscurity [...]
