Saturday night we were driving down to West St. Paul to eat at a good Mexican restaurant. On the way, we passed Thompson Street, and MFH pointed it out, being a big supporter of Fred Thompson. (I’m leaning more toward Ron Paul.) Later, we crossed Thompson Avenue:
MFH: Look, Thompson Avenue! […]

Mrs. Brigham had a good series of posts for World Breastfeeding Week, in particular one about the politics of infant feeding.

Once one of my professors told me that I looked like Hillary Clinton when she was younger–she had a thick-glasses-and-unruly-hair phase, I guess. (I’m still in mine.) The more recent Hillary, though, reminds me very much of one of my college roommates; something in her face is the same.
I don’t want […]

Zatera Ul likes: Obi Sium (for whatever office it is he is running for). MFH met him at the last M.O.B. party.
Zatera Ul will be voting against:
The St. Paul Public Schools referendum, out of sheer voter crankiness, because the renewal and increase are bundled together as a single ballot question, rather than addressed […]

I’ve been following the Althouse - Feministing battle of the boobs a little, and it’s been fun to watch Althouse lay down the I-was-a-feminist-before-you-were-even-in-diapers smack. It is ridiculous for a feminist blogger to stand in a look-at-my-boobs pose right in front of Bill Clinton in a group picture. I haven’t kept up with […]

Some things that are floating through my head after wandering around the blogs:
I get the impression from some feminist blogs that they really hold both these beliefs, at the same time: 1) Abstinence does not prevent either pregnancy or STDs, and 2) Condoms are super-magical, perfectly reliable protection against both pregnancy and STDs–most of […]

MFH brought home The Da Vinci Code, on loan from his boss, but he wanted to read the preceding book first. So I read it. It was entertaining, but the theology was so horribly wrong that I suspect the author of being on the payroll of Satan’s Propaganda Department. Read the Old […]

Is it too early to get an “Anyone But Hillary” bumper sticker?

Dr. Sanity is talking about identity politics, and feminism in particular, again. One sentence, in particular, seemed pertinent to my recent post on feminism:
Their objective now is maintaining women’s victimhood, so they can eternally be the champions of the oppressed.

It’s SNOWING!!!! We have about an inch so far. Fairly windy, though, so maybe it will blow through here too quickly to accumulate much on the ground.

Maxed Out Mama ties Proverbs 31 into her discussion of the patriarchy (!):
