The Rants

The Real World – Washington D.C.

by Laurel on November 15, 2011

It’s Republican Presidential Primary Debate Season… seems like they are having debates 2 or 3 times a week, literally. I don’t watch, I just let Jon Stewart pull the the amusing highlights and share them with me. The Daily Show is like my political Talk Soup or The Soup or whatever the hell that show [...]

Why I Hate Pink Ribbons

October 24, 2011

I am pretty sure we’ve all had our fill of Pink Ribbon month.. the symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is ubiquitous and the color has been used to drape everything from soup to SpongeBob.

June 21, 2011

The National Review is this really funny publication I like to read from time to time for comic relief. They did not let me down recently, with Sabrina Schaeffer’s article on Andy Weiner and Gender Politics. I’ve been studiously trying to avoid reading, writing or participating in any dicussions on Andy Weiner (beyond my 8 [...]

8 Things More Important Than Weinergate

June 9, 2011

I am frustrated by our need to sweat the small stuff and Weinergate just seems so fucking trivial in the scheme of things. I mean, don’t we have more serious issues to be focusing on, more serious problems that need fixing? I think we do… 1. Catholic School Bans Rainbows What’s next? Teddy Bears and Cupcakes? [...]
