First came that menstrually segregated "mosqueteria." Then their Che Guevara lesson plan. Has the always entertaining Toronto District School Board outdone itself with its newly uncovered "Africentric Approach to Teaching Mathematics, Science, and Technology"? Some of you are ...
Since women (and not a few men) obviously love a man in uniform, where is all the porn featuring the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? Dirty cops are an X-rated staple, and "the UPS guy" has almost driven the once-ubiquitous "mailman" out of the porn business. Even Nazis get to go ...
Last week I wrote about Facebook, censorship, and the danger of relying upon these supersized social-media conglomerates to get your message out, particularly if that message is deemed "offensive" (i.e., "conservative"). Now, according to one report, Facebook's rival Twitter is ...
Facebook's disastrous IPO was less an "initial public offering" than an injurious public ordeal. Is it possible that the investors snapping up shares were the only folks on Earth who"d never actually visited the site and were therefore oblivious about how literally worthless Facebook ...
I started blogging in 2000. Two years earlier, Matt Drudge had blown the whistle (as it were) on Bill Clinton's Monica problem after Big Media repeatedly passed on the story. Even before I started my own site, I was a daily reader of proto-blog romenesko.org, which still (as MediaWire) covers ...
I"m so old, I remember when Ellen DeGeneres was straight; Rosie O"Donnell wasn"t merely straight, she was the "Queen of Nice"; and Joan Rivers would never eat lunch in this town again. I wasn"t the only fan shocked to see "Queen of Mean" Lisa Lampanelli devolve from ...
The nightly sex-and-drug-advice radio show Loveline used to feature a number of “games” that fans still recall with cultish affection. One was “Germany or Florida?” After cohost Adam Carolla observed that all weird stories seemed to come out of either Germany or ...
For one brief, pixelated moment last week, Red and Blue America came together (as it were). This rare harmonic convergence was prompted by…what? A natural disaster that snuffed out thousands of lives? A terror attack of unprecedented magnitude? The unexpected passing of a beloved national ...
Long ago, crazy people at least had the good sense to pretend they were heroes. Asylums were packed with dueling Napoleons. Rival Jesuses (Jesuii?) challenged each other to miracle-working matches in the sunroom. The play Arsenic and Old Lace, which premiered in 1941, featured eccentric ...
My first reaction to that over-discussed TIME magazine cover showing a woman breastfeeding her way-too-old son was: "Wait"TIME magazine is still around?" Predictably, this naked example of stunt publishing has been the subject of countless OpEds and blog posts. Breastfeeding became ...
