Actually, it’s pretty simple:  He finds a year’s worth of Cosmopolitan in your house.  Ever since I read the book Spin Sisters by Myrna Blyth I’ve looked at women’s magazines in a new light.  We all know they’re written by liberal

In response to Presented without Comment: Anne Hathaway’s dress was completely forgettable and not particularly fashionable.  I hate the necklace with that neckline.  The only thing that could save her from oblivion was to turn on the highbeams.  As Mae West said, “It’s

– Doing the Angelina Jolie leg pose – Saying you’re sick, knowing you look fabulous and everyone will fawn all over you and say you’re so brave for appearing on the Red Carpet – Wearing jewelry that your kids made.  It’s

The Red Carpet arrivals start at 5:30 p.m.  We know who the nominees are, but here are a few ways to spot those who think they may win: – For the most part, all the nominees for Best Actor and Best

I know people love to gripe about Hollywood, but like it or not… I like it.  Seriously, I like to go to the movies.  I like to see which ones are doing well with critics and in the box office. 

Stephen Kruiser has a great post, “While We Argue Gun Statistics, OFA Is Tugging Heartstrings with a Video.”  He writes: This is the thing that our side still doesn’t get. Pictures and video tell a more compelling story than just

In response to WaPo on Sequestration: THINK OF THE SEALS: As many Washingtonians know, most stories about the National Zoo with a corresponding photo of a cuddly animal often don’t bring happy news.  Remember your 2005 story, WaPo?  “Animal Deaths Renew Criticism of Care at

Instapundit links to this very important open letter from Evan M. Todd, a student who was shot and wounded during the Columbine massacre.  Read the entire thing here.  I think this excerpt is especially important: Mr. President, in theory, your initiatives

In response to Washington DC: Hollywood for Ugly People: I also wonder if filmmakers have realized that simply having a good movie is no longer enough for an Oscar nod.  The Academy has become so liberal that a movie must have a

In response to The Gun Discussion Seems to Involve a Battle Over a Cultural Preference…: In talking with friends who are for gun control, alot of their statements seem to stem from personal preference.  One friend said she has no threat

In response to Rubio Rakes in $100k+ for the Sip Heard ‘Round the Beltway: This is a  good lesson in why campaigns and organizations need to have good social media infrastructure and practices in place for when their moment hits. 

In response to The Obama Kiss of Death claims another business: I was so disappointed to see the Obamas ate at Jose Andreas’ MiniBar on Valentine’s Day. I hope they don’t close before I can get a reservation. If Secret

We’ve all heard about the free Obama phones.  A friend was recently looking for a part-time work and found this listing on Craig’s List [note: the “DMV” refers to DC, Maryland, Virginia]: Street Teams & Leaders Earn $500-$2000 A Week (DMV

More news from the ivory tower of Babel: The syllabus tells students in a West Liberty University political science course what sources they can and cannot use. Among those students are asked not to use are The Onion, an openly fictitious

In response to Campaign 2012: Three Million Political Ads for a Cost of $2 Billion : I know the big networks still win when it comes to news, but I wonder how niche/reality TV (as well as networks like USA

In response to It’s not just a tech issue: Liz, I totally agree that the problem is bigger than the technology aspect.  It is, however, a good case study in identifying our weaknesses.  We have leaders who are too set

In response to MUST READ: Can the Republicans be Saved from Obsolescence?: I totally agree with Ben Domenech’s assertion in the Times’ article that Republican elders generally aren’t as supportive of new outreach ideas.  However, I think this recent blog post also

In response to CNN: Water Carriers: Although I lean toward ignoring those making fun of Rubio to help end the discussion, Teri Christoph of Smart Girl Politics had a funny suggestion on Twitter: Why don’t we all have avatars of us drinking

This year I’ve seen a lot more cynical responses to Valentine’s Day.  At least two restaurants I’ve recently visited — PJ Clarke’s in D.C. and Virtue in Alexandria, VA — are offering “Anti-Valentine’s Day” specials.  Presumably it’s to make singles feel

Twitter is having fun with the recent news that Washington Post blogger Suzi Parker fell for a satirical article that stated Sarah Palin would be a joining Al-Jazeera.  Seriously, you’d think even the MSM would think this falls into the “too good

In response to One billion women will be beaten or raped in their lifetime: Reading about these empty displays of “awareness” that garner thousands, if not millions, of dollars from corporate sponsors makes me so angry. I wonder how many corporate sponsors

In his latest column, Thaddeus McCotter wrote: [M]any lament President Woodrow Wilson’s creation of the Federal Reserve Board  and rampant internationalism. But these historical indictments pale before his  presidency’s most notorious “unforeseen consequence”: He preempted Tuesday  night’s episode of “Vegas.”

For years the feminists’ underlying message to women was that they needed the government to support and protect them.  How empowering!  In 2012 the Obama campaign told us the story of Julia — a woman who needs government from cradle to grave. 

I often wonder if my mother has ever read any of the posts on the thousands of Mommyblogs out there.  With germs and supposedly unsafe products around every corner, you’d think the only way to keep your kid alive is

In response to I’ve Finally Started Watching ‘Girls’…: Great post, Ezra.  I haven’t seen “Girls” yet, but I was wary of the knee-jerk criticism that many had against it.  It reminded me of all the criticism of “Sex and the

As I sit here on a Friday night watching one of the half a dozen shows about wedding dresses on The Learning Channel (TLC) I pose this question: Which channel has strayed the furthest from its original programming: TLC, Bravo

In response to Nick Gillespie’s brilliant insight about journalists’ hypocrisy on drones: Someone commented on Twitter, I think maybe Kirsten Powers, that libertarians seem to be the only ones with any consistency on this subject.  We expect partisans to be

As I mentioned last week, I despise how the EPA hurts cities and states across the country by imposing job-killing regulations.  The Chamber’s Free Enterprise blog is a great source for keeping up on what’s going on in the states. 

This week George Zimmerman’s brother went on Piers Morgan’s show to defend his brother’s actions against Trayvon Martin.  Newsbusters reports: CNN’s Piers Morgan invoked the death of Trayvon Martin to support his case for gun control, but the brother of Martin’s

Identity politics, as practiced by Democrats, is dehumanizing and  horrible.  They reduce people to one or two characteristics and then tell those groups that Republicans hate them, want them held back in life and that Democrats are their only ally

It’s been several months since Thaddeus McCotter resigned as Congressman of Michigan’s 11th district.  Yet, we have very little answers about the motives and investigation into why his nominating petitions were sabotaged.  In The Daily Caller: Yet, after a Michigan attorney

Along with many other defenders of the unborn I’ve long thought that technology was our greatest ally in convincing the public that abortion is the taking of life.  We keep hearing stories about increasingly premature babies surviving after emergency birth and

In response to Necktie Outrage, the New War on Women: I can’t help but think that if they used a lipstick, high heel, skirt or some other feminine clothing there would still be outrage from professional women who love to

The Los Angeles Times recently did a story on how fans no longer seek celebrities’ autographs and instead want photos with the celebrity. “A photo is proof that I was near the people that, before this, only existed on my TV
