"Something must have happened!"
Which was the refrain most heard around the McMartin preschool debacle of the 1980's.
Deja vu
If You Were An Early Reader Of the WaPo UVA Rape Expose...
Jackie UP, Rolling Stone further DOWN. If you were an early reader of the Washington Post UVA rape expose exonerating Phi Kappa Psi I am begging you to go back and re-read it; despite the absence of any hints such as "UPDATED", majors news corroborating the notion of a group sex assault has been...

Poor Mandy "I am Woman, hear me whine" ... sez
Then I posted a simple piece on Slate about a sociological study of the obstacles mothers who want to cook for their families face.
In a pouty, quivering-lower-lip, oh-those-meanies they never even read my article ... yet this was part of her conclusion
It's expensive and time-consuming and often done for a bunch of ingrates who would rather just be eating fast food anyway.
Somehow, I believe she doesn't read her own articles. They just ooze from her id in all their malevolent, unexamined glory.

Daniel Hannan on the socialist snobbery of François Hollande: As well as being a bore, a fornicator and a nincompoop, François Hollande stands accused of being a snob. His former mistress, Valérie Trierweiler, has revealed… that the man who publicly professes to loathe the rich privately despis...
a movement not just for reform but for revolution” – one that “requires direct action” and “upsetting… our parents, our future employers… and quite possibly the police.”
Oh.good.lord. Isn't one 1968 enough?
The Penny Hasn’t Dropped
Over the past few months I have become, and remain, deeply embedded in the student movement in the UK and Europe. Many of the young people who feature in the piece – on whose activities I’ve been keeping meticulous notes, and who are of a similar age and political attitude to myself – have since...
Enjoyed the Jurassic Park themes ... reminds me of how much influence John Williams had on movie scoring starting with Star Wars in 1977. No one put "classical music"-style scores on sci-fi movies at the time. (even Jerry Goldsmith's music for 1968's Planet of the Apes was more dramatic punctuation than music score) Would the original SW be the same without Williams' themes?
Friday Ephemera
“Instant fog.” // Worms, lasers and mind control. // A map of sequels; some good, some not so. The Rage: Carrie 2 is not, it seems, a classic. // Spiders of note. // Upholstered skateboard for ladies. “It’s meant to be stroked, not ridden.” // Orson Welles’ The Stranger (1946). // A compendium o...
Many buildings are empty because rich people need more money in the bank. Owners prefer to keep their property empty: this increases demand for accommodation, thus raising the cost of renting
Don't you just love reality-free proclamations in support of looting?
Great in Theory
Time, I think, for another in our series of classic sentences. Further to George Monbiot’s belief that homeowners should be punished for having spare rooms that he thinks they “don’t need,” the Guardian has invited a panel of readers to comment on homelessness. One contributor is Thierry Schaffa...
geez louise, R Sherman, that site should be parody but those females are serious!

"You see, so long as women are willfully heterosexual/het-identified, male supremacy will continue. Female heterosexuality is, after all, the fundamental complicity necessary for the perpetuation of male domination. Any strategy that does not include the eradication of female heterosexuality (and the nuclear family, as well, or by extension) is not a strategy for liberation; it is merely a strategy intended to ease some of the hardships of the female lot under male supremacy."
Good.Lord.
