I need firmer evidence that the current field of GOP candidates are running the old race game on us. The only thing MSNBC keeps putting in our face and harping on is their bottom line, seemingly, that a black man who is president can't get no respect.
Americans love sports. These following nine months leading up to the presidential election appear sadly almost exclusively to be a sport for most Ame...
This week brought A) a "Sh*t ______(s) Say(s)" that celebrates women and B) a "Hey Girl" that imagines an awesome woman spouting feminist theory to get you into bed. Happy Friday.
It looks as if those ancient Mayans were pretty sharp cookies after all. They figured out that this year was going to be a doozy.
In the days ahead, despite the anger, one question is: Will the Occupy DC movement be able to remain non-violent as it has?
On this day we celebrate Adrienne's life, her accomplishments and the legacy she's left behind. It is in her honor that I started the Adrienne Shelly Foundation with a singular mission: to support women filmmakers.
Occupy Wall Street, so long as the direct action of street demonstrations prevails and continues, is at this moment growing into something that none of us can see at this time. It's all about the future.
"It's not a 'women's' movement, it's a human rights movement we are embarking on. I think in some regards men are more enraged -- fathers of daughters are concerned about their future."
Senator Jon Kyl (R. AZ) advanced the art of GOP prevarication last April when he claimed that Planned Parenthood spends 90% of its budget on abortions. The grossness of the falsehood -- the correct figure is 3%, not 90 -- was par for the course.

While politics appear to be as divisive in nature as ever, Americans have managed to reach a consensus around one concept: government is broken.
Obama was a follower in leader's clothing from the beginning -- or, as Winston Churchill said about Clement Atlee, "a sheep in sheep's clothing."
The grocery is called The Old Creamery because that's what the building was in the 1800s. Looking around The Old Creamery, one sees people here care about historical preservation, community, and sustainability.
Three so-called top-tier Republican presidential candidates are, even as we speak, busy disavowing their inconvenient earlier statements by employing what an old boss of mine called the "Let's do a 180" strategy.
Even brilliance has its blindspots. Maddow's seems to be her continued fascination with Republicans who vote against their own proposals. It is not befuddling at all. With rare exceptions, Republicans never favored the positions they espoused in the first place.
