The NeoSexist

Anand Giridharadas at the NY Times has discovered something novel: Sarah Palin has ideas.  Writing from the point of view of someone obviously conditioned to dismiss her as irrelevant, begins with a confession: Let us begin by confessing that, if Sarah Palin surfaced to say something intelligent and wise and fresh about the present American [...]

There’s a saying that’s floated around for a few years — I wish I could properly attribute it — that states, roughly, “those on the Right think the Left is wrong, while those on the Left think the Right is evil.” Nowhere is this more evident than at the online sewer populated by the fringiest [...]

This video (from Mediate)  has me thinking of a new feature.  Perhaps “Bitch-Slap of the Day.” Rep. Joe Walsh lands body blow after body blow on Tingles. Exit question:  Great interview or Greatest Interview?

As reported in the Daily Mail: This is the astonishing moment a book was apparently hurled at the head of President Barack Obama during a campaign rally in Philadelphia. The flying missile narrowly missed hitting the President yesterday. It is not clear what the book was, where it came from in the crowd, or why [...]

UGLY Comment of the Week h/t Newsbusters On Wednesday’s Joy Behar Show on HLN, when a panel discussion turned to the subject of Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell, panel member Judge Karen Mills-Francis of the Judge Karen’s Court show described O’Donnell as having been a “whore” as she listed some of the Senate candidate’s [...]

Nobody knows Iowa Politics like the New York Times. As Sarah Palin prepares to speak that the Iowa GOP’s annual Ronald Reagan Dinner, Michael Shear polled some of her potential 2012 opponents to offer some advice to the celebrity. I am sure that Sarah Palin often seeks the advice of the New York Times. But [...]

Cynthia Tucker explains the zeitgeist: Average Americans, normally sober-minded citizens, came undone over exaggerated threats and imagined enemies; rallied here by the thousands to “restore honor”; and denounced mosques, minority rights and the 14th Amendment — all the while demanding strict adherence to the U.S. Constitution. Our long, hot summer needed another ingredient to induce [...]
