Hit her, baby, one more time

MTV hired Britney Spears to make an ass of herself and she sadly complied. The humiliation continues.

    This country runs on misogyny

    I think, if anything, we've become MORE misogynistic over time. Whatever else may be wrong with Britney Spears, any rational person can see she's not really fat. At 25, she's not really old. But that's what our daughters are being led to believe. She's, what, a size 8? MAYBE a 10? And she's a hog. Age 25, and ready for the nursing home.

    And yet some people actually believe that Hillary Clinton has a chance in hell of being elected president. It ain't going to happen -- not in my lifetime anyway.
