Chris Matthews’ Trip To Crazy Town **OPEN THREAD** »

Okay, you know it is bad when other journalists, and frequent guests, are talking about how nutso Chris Matthews has become. What seemed to prompt this outspokenness on their part was the attempt by Matthews to pin the Weiner scandal on Weiner’s WIFE, as if it was her fault her husband is an unethical, perverted, [...]

Obama’s MSM-Bestowed Halo Continues To Slip »

Yes, indeedy, as time goes by, the media is starting to shake off its KoolAide induced haze, and are beginning to see that – SURPRISE – Obama is a (Chicago-style) politician!! Wow! Who knew? Ahem. Many of us did, that’s who. Bernie Goldberg discussed Obama’s Fall from the MSM’s “slobbering love affair” recently, based on [...]

“Ending The ‘Hot Or Not’ Factor” In Journalism **UPDATE** »

Bumped Up || Update Below The Fold I came across an article recently that confirmed what many of us have suspected: the media helps shape opinions on female political candidates. Anyone who has heard the stories about Nikki Haley’s alleged affairs (proven false as her released emails demonstrate, though you rarely hear that), or the [...]

The Day Has Finally Come *Updated* »

Update below the fold. No, not Election Day, though yeah, that’s right around the corner (thank heavens). No, I mean my very last visit with my Physical Therapist. YAY!!! And he came about an hour earlier than usual, too, so that was good. Oh, what a relief. Not that I am done with physical therapy, [...]

Pet Peeves »

… is when someone tells me that I am flat-out wrong on a statement of fact, not even entertaining for a second that I could be right, and when shown proof positive, still acts skeptical. Or having my personal experience as a woman (or lesbian) discounted precisely because I am a woman (and a lesbian). [...]

Change In DADT, Paul Ryan On Repeal **Open Thread** »

This classic scene from the brilliant show, “West Wing,” really sets the tone for the announcement made by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates this week on the Pentagon’s change for DADT:

Who’s The Feminist? »

Recently, my fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, found this article, which she kindly shared with me. It is quite an interesting take on why some women are so threatened by, um, no, wait, that’s not how the author, Ann Marlowe, would phrase it. More for her, why they don’t like her, as the title, “Why [...]

Hillary on Greta’s Show Last Evening »

HILLARY on MEXICO (Remember how Greta’s husband was actively involved in Hillary’s campaign, and a major donor as well? Greta can’t say it, of course, but I’ve always sensed — it’s always been clear to me — that Greta deeply admires Hillary and never misses a chance to report on our superb Secretary of State. [...]

Has Hillary (OR BILL) Been Vetted Enough?? »

(bumped up by NoQuarter) Well, you all know where I stand on the Hillary as Secretary of State thing. I think she would be brilliant, probably the best SoS in the history of Secretaries of States. Presumably, though, those Secretaries of State could trust (more or less) the president whom they served. Clinton? Not so [...]

“WOMEN: IS THIS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AND HAS IT BEEN ANSWERED TO YOUR SATISFACTION?” »

Like many of you before this election cycle, I never watched Fox News. In my naivete, I believed they were the bad guys and MoveOn were the good guys. Boy have things changed. I now go to Fox before any of the other MSM, and while there are several excellent reporters there, my favorite is [...]

Feminists Stand Behind Sarah, And Sarah Fights For All Women »

Sarah stands up for all women: “"When it came time for choosing, somehow Barack Obama just couldn’t bring himself to pick the woman who got 18 million votes in his primary, and that seems to be too familiar a story isn’t it? … How it is for so many American women that the qualifications are [...]

Alternating… »

Between being furious, and wanting to throw up, with the gamut of emotions in between. Why? Because I cannot get out of my head the photos of those young (and not so young) people, men and women, wearing “Sarah Palin Is A C–t” t-shirts at a Philly rally this weekend. Honestly, I cannot stop thinking [...]
