Right-wing bloggers wookin’ pa nub
Via Dr. Helen, I ran across this run-down of self-proclaimed right wing female bloggers describing their likes and dislikes in men they date (photos included!):
Have you dated liberals before? If so, any difference you can tell between liberal and conservative guys?
I tend not to date liberals, for a reason. Politics is so important to what [...]
John Stossel has GOT to be kidding
Dr. Helen recounts some recent remarks by ABC’s John Stossel:
I read with interest a short question and answer session with John Stossel in TownHall magazine on how he became the lone libertarian in broadcast news. One question posed by Mary Katherine Ham asked “Is the media as hostile to conservative ideas as a lot of [...]
When is a lie a lie?
Dr. Helen points to a NY Post piece indicating that we of the female persuasion tend to lie more often:
Barash interviewed 500 women nationwide who answered her Craigslist ads seeking females to confide what they fib about. Among her findings:
* 75 percent lie about how much money they spend. For instance, they sneak purchases [...]
Whither Obama?
Dr. Helen wonders:
Victor Davis Hanson has an interesting piece up over at PJM on how we ended up with Obama:
One wonders how the United States has come to the brink of nominating and probably electing someone with almost no experience as either an executive or national legislator, replete with ratings and rankings that suggest he [...]
Men on a marriage strike
Dr. Helen says men are increasingly avoiding marriage because they’ve done a cost-benefit analysis and have found the institution lacking:
…men are on a marriage strike, not necessarily because they are perpetual adolescents or avoiding deep attachments to others but because the reward for being an adult in our society is so low, especially for men.
It’s [...]
The plight of the single man
Via Dr. Helen:
Experts say society still favors married men over their single counterparts, though. The most common complaints come from the workplace, where many say they are discriminated against.
“Especially as you approach your mid-30s and 40s and all your colleagues around you are married, there’s a lot of unsaid words that go on and feelings [...]

Homeschooling kills?
Dr. Helen picks apart recent media coverage of a tragic case of family violence in our nation’s capitol:
The NYT’s had an article out yesterday entitled “Lack of Supervision Noted in Deaths of Home-Schooled” (Hat Tip: Lunablog.net). The article looks at the Washington D.C. case where four girls were killed allegedly by their mother, and concludes [...]

Should men be barred from volunteering in the church nursery?
That’s what Dr. Helen is asking in her new column:
There’s a double standard in our society when it comes to sexual abuse, writes Dr. Helen Smith, who reminds readers what the PC books won’t: women also commit sexual offenses against children.
Interesting question. I wonder, though, if some of the same conservative thinkers who would agree [...]

Apparently, local gun bloggers had a meet-up:
The guests included SayUncle, Sebastian at Snowflakes in Hell, Bitter at The Bitch Girls, Les Jones, and Tam at View From the Porch Blog. I got some great shooting tips from everyone, including Say Uncle who tried to teach me not to flinch (not an easy feat) and from [...]
Joe Powell on Jonah Goldberg and Godwin’s Law
Joe Powell listened to the Glen and Helen Show’s Podcast of an interview with conservative author Jonah Goldberg and didn’t like what he heard:
In essence, Goldberg takes his particular worldview-goggles and peers backward, cherry-picking the events and language of the past in order to bolster his views that Democrats and Liberal politics virtually destroyed America [...]

Only well-behaved women make the cover of Vogue
Dr. Helen opines that conservative women take a hit in the mainstream press:
Libertarian and conservative women are treated with disdain (if they are interviewed at all) by the liberal media, including what are supposed to be “women’s” magazines. Myrna Blyth, ex-editor of Ladies’ Home Journal in her book Spin Sisters “bashes the Left on grounds [...]
Does alimony turn men and women into “slaves?”
Dr. Helen says it does:
The time for alimony as we know it may have passed …No man or woman should be held to being a slave to an ex-spouse after a marriage ends.
