Ann Coulter????????????????????????????

Who the hell cares what Ann Coulter thinks about anything and why is Salon asking her?

Let's just ask Seabisquit

Who gives a flying fuck what that skelator equine Ann Coulter thinks? Ship her boney ass off to the glue factory already where she can be of some use.

Coulter's a liar anyway, and a bad one. I read about her appearance on Faux News the other day where she tried to downplay Irving "Scoots" Libby's indictment, claiming that she'd never heard of Libby until "ten minutes ago." Yeah, sure, Equus.

Hmmm.

Would you preface a description of a male pundit with the adjective "thin?" Or any adjective concerning appearance?

Did we see "Bald Man Nominated to Supreme Court?"

Stop perpetuating the double standard. I'm still trying to understand the mission and purpose of this blog other than to perpetuate stereotypes.

"Thin"?

Believe me, the woman reminds me of fingernails on a chalkboard--I can't stand her. But I don't understand the first word of this post. It seems really odd to use that type of adjective here. How does it affect the story? Who cares about her dress size?

Thin on Ann Coulter

What's wrong with calling Ann Coulter thin? It's the nicest thing one can say about her physique, and the most accurate way to describe the state of her heart, logic and soul.

Why Broadsheet? It's About Time

Yeah, it's about time. It's about time that stories concerning women got as much airtime and as many column inches as stories about men. But about time that these stories get relegated to some ghetto with an adorable moniker, the hipster equivalent of the Women's Page? Only if the time in question is circa about 1964. The advent of "Broadsheet" is indicative of such a profound -- and deeply tacky -- misunderstanding of both feminism and the Left in general that the mind just boggles.

Hey, cool idea: Any stories about Jews, let's stick'em in a section called, oh, I dunno...Kike Korner. It could be illustrated by, you know, an amusing cartoon of people with hooked noses. Then there's Homo Home, and the Spade Patrol and Tell All the Truth But Tell It Slant (Eyed). That way, the normal folks -- that would be straight, gentile, white men -- won't have to spend any time slogging through stories about regressive legislation, offensive marketing campaigns, healthcare initiatives, or anything else that, obviously, is of no concern to them.

Broadsheet, Mark !!

Plus which, if we establish all those groovy little "special interest" sections, that will leave all the more room for insightful, hard-hitting investigations about sex dolls and legal wranglings over condom design -- which, of course, are of pressing and personal interest to everyone.
