I usually love watching the Olympics. There is so much to love, the passion of the athletes, the elaborate ceremonies and the competition that paradoxically unites most of the world. The Olympics can so often bring out the best in people; after Nodar Kumaritashvili’s tragedy today it was beautiful to see the way [...]
In case you hadn’t heard, CBS has recently come under fire for accepting an ad written by Focus on the Family, featuring college football phenom Tim Tebow and his mother Pam. While the specifics of the ad’s content have been kept carefully under wraps, the decision to air what will likely be a choice (pun [...]
I’m sharing this news for two reasons; first, I wish I were as much of a bad ass as Kelly Kulick. Secondly, this is yet another example in which an extremely talented woman debunks social expectations of women in sports.
Anything you boys can do …
Kelly Kulick left all the guys in the gutter.
Kulick became [...]
Wow PETA. Wow.
I mean, seriously? I shouldn’t be surprised. As has been written about on this site again and again and again, PETA is about as misogynistic an organization as they get. But this is beyond the pale.
This proposed billboard and press release essentially embodies the fundamental argument against abortion, which is that the woman [...]
Personally, I don’t find either of those two people especially attractive…their smiles look a little fake to me, like they’re not really happy. When I pointed this out to my husband, he quipped, “Well how happy would you be if you just got done throwing up in a toilet?”
Which is a horrible joke on so [...]
Our favorite group of nut jobs is at it again. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) got in hot water this week for featuring a picture of Michelle Obama in one of their ads without asking her permission. Michelle Obama was featured with three other women: Oprah, Tyra Banks, and [...]
Last week’s news that Charlie Sheen threatened to kill his wife, and then the astounding news that Brooke Mueller wants to work things out is eerily reminiscent of the Rihanna/Chris Brown situation. Lots of people might be wondering why Brooke Mueller doesn’t just leave Charlie Sheen, but the fact is that she did try. [...]
There has been a bit of an outrage among feminists lately over AP’s top female athletes of the year. Serena William was top athlete: an undefeated mare named Zenyatta (named after the Police’s album, Zenyatta Mondatta) was second, and a filly named Rachel Alexandra was 7th. Of course, it does seem insulting: How could ANIMALS [...]
I’m a big fan of Good Asian Drivers. In case you’re unfamiliar with them, Good Asian Drivers broke into the national spotlight in 2008 when slam poet Kit Yan and songwriter Melissa Li launched an unforgettable cross-country tour, playing in over 30 states in 12 weeks. Melissa Li’s music, a catchy blend of [...]
Susan Boyle is awesome. That’s all I can say about that. Her debut album “I Dreamed a Dream” has sold more copies than any other debut female artist in the history of the Billboard charts. She’s sold over 700,000 copies so far, and that number is sure to keep on growing.
In case [...]
