Cool event in Phoenix about that Colorado birth control experiment
If you are a pro-choicer in the Phoenix area still spitting darts over that rage-inducing, cavalcade o’ misogyny Planned Parenthood hearing in Congress on Tuesday, here’s something positive you can enjoy: From the Facebook event page: Join us for hors d’ouevres, local Arizona wine, and a silent auction featuring a piece by local Cuban artist […]
There’s nothing enthralling, or new, about Carly Fiorina’s funhouse mirror “feminism”
Nothin’ new here, folks. Perhaps the most disheartening aspect of the last GOP presidential debate was following it on Twitter and seeing feminists I respect declare Carly Fiorina the “winner” and express admiration of her fierceness and command of information (bad information but, whatever, I guess).

Anatomy of the “both sides do it” strategy
At long last, it appears that the Birther conspiracy is enough of an embarrassment to the GOP that they are not only dropping what seemed to be an official position of tacit tolerance, if not encouragement of it.

It was clear from the beginning that this was orchestrated by the “establishment” of the GOP (which does not actually exist, since they’re all […]
