  Blogging the Singularity — Authority: 432

  “Wow, that is so inspiring!” “She has truly overcome her handicap.” “You are so brave!” Do any of these exclamations sound familiar?

• Men Who Love To Hate Women Who Hate Men

  
  HEA ?IE OE?! — Authority: 99
  Gavin "Rossdale" McInnes has an article called Feminisms a Bitch in egomaniac-cum-decadent Greco-trash Takis Magazine. I appreciate the articulate wing of the paleo-right, though I know that if in charge they would destroy us all. However, I do have a few bones to pick with this particular asshole (said lovingly). ...

• Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

  
  The Rambling Taoist — Authority: 145
  From time to time, Ive offered up the opinion that economic, health care and environmental regulation and programs should be undertaken by government.

• It’s Official, the Inmates Will be Running the Asylum

  
  The Rutherford Lawson Blog — Authority: 413
  This is the sorry state that we have come to. A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows more support for the Tea Party than for the Democratic or Republican Party. When you get underneath the numbers, a major contingent of Tea Party fans get their info from Fox News . In fact 75% of Fox News viewers were fans ...

• Chomsky on Politics and Health Care in America

  
  Veritas Nihilum Vincet — Authority: 129
  At some point in the not very distant future, people will wonder why no one paid more attention to Chomsky. He’s been telling the truth for 50 years…and America still can’t manage to do something every other industrialized nation on earth does for its citizens – provide some basic level of universal health ...

• The War on Christmas

  
  Striking Thoughts — Authority: 423
  A commenter to my last entry inadvertently reminded me that I almost forgot my annual War on Christmas post. I’ve maintained a version of this blog since 2005. For those of you who are new to this cry for help, in the early days I used to pontificate a lot more about politics and religion. I eventually separated ...

  The Luxe Chronicles — Authority: 421
  The New York Times Style Section has an interesting piece on the impact of the critically-acclaimed television series Mad Men on mens fashion.

• Someone Here is Lying

  
  The Rutherford Lawson Blog — Authority: 413
  I guess it’s sort of a chicken-egg scenario. Does a polarized society breed a polarized media or does a polarized media breed a polarized society? Increasingly we are seeing folks take opposite positions not on opinion but on the facts. When that happens, someone plain and simple, is lying. There are loads of ...

• Avoiding Tickets

  
  Transterrestrial Musings — Authority: 147
  Drive one of these cars. This would be more interesting if there were some theoretical basis as to why they’re less ticket bait than others, as opposed to (I assume) empirical data. It’s not clear what else they have in common.My theory of ticket avoidance is a) don’t drive a red car — [...]

• Transcontinental Disability Choir: 9021-Oh No!

  
  Bitch Blogs — Authority: 138
  Full disclosure: I am a 90210 junkie. Ive seen every episode of the original Beverly Hills 90210 at least twice and sometimes feel I remember their high school experiences more clearly than my own. So of course I watched the newly revived 90210 when it premiered last year. Putting aside the reworked theme song (BAD! ...
