You may have heard about Molly the cat, who’s been trapped in the wall of a Greenwich Village deli for 13 days. But what’s interesting to me is the stuff at the end: Pastore said the search for Molly was only one of the current concerns at Animal Care & Control, coinciding with the recovery [...]

So often we hear about how misogyny is inherent to Islam; how the Quran itself is thoroughly fucked up; and how Islam is incompatible with modernity and democracy and feminism because of what its texts say on their face. It’s not a religion of peace, conservatives scoff. They say we’re in a culture war. They [...]

Motherfuckin’ OY! DURHAM, N.C. – A woman who claims she was raped by members of Duke University’s lacrosse team was described as “just passed-out drunk” by one of the first police officers to see her, according to a recording of radio traffic obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

Why does it seem that they’re always running programs about the natural disasters (always, always preceded by “mega”, as in “megaquake” or “megatsunami”) about places where I currently live or am planning to live? They sure do take pleasure in predicting doom for New York City (megatsunami once that mountainside in the Canary Island finally [...]

Bad news out of my hometown today: Apparently pharmacists are extending their oh-so-moral “consciences” into the realm of basic disease prevention. That is, they won’t fill prescriptions for antibiotics if you’re a bad lady. Cedar River Clinics, a women’s health and abortion provider with facilities in Renton, Tacoma, and Yakima, filed a complaint with the [...]

They’re even pushing for women’s studies programs in high schools. Awesome. Support the Miss G project! Thanks to Brendon for letting me know about this fantastic project. Seriously folks, get out there and help if you can. If you can throw a few bucks their way, I’m sure they could use it. If you’re like [...]

I’m just gonna quote directly from Gawker: Last week, a group of six New Yorkers were on a Caribbean vacation in St. Maarten. Two of them were brutally beaten — one, Dick Jefferson, a 51-year-old top producer at the CBS Evening News, is out of the hospital but now has a titanium plate in his [...]

Goldberg: Hollywood has yet to make a “great” movie about Washington. This is the cinematic corollary to the even hoarier cliche that the United States has yet to produce a great novel about the nation’s capital. These cliches reign supreme because they happen to be true. Doesn’t the LA Times have fact-checkers? (The rest of [...]

Defense lawyers for several players on Duke University’s lacrosse team said Wednesday that they expected at least one player to be indicted, perhaps as early as Monday, in the investigation of a woman’s charges that she was raped by three players at a party last month. Based on statements made by Michael B. Nifong, the [...]

Ninja stopped by ATF agents on University of Georgia Campus. Because terrorists often skulk around in ninja outfits in broad daylight on college campuses. And the General writes a letter to our good friend Ruth Malhotra: Things are different today. America has become so wicked and worldly that Christians are no longer treated as superiors. [...]
