The McCandidate’s Man of the Hour last night was Joe the Plumber, who’s concerned about having to pay more taxes under Obama. Joe wants a tax break. Funny – he’s already given himself one:
`Joe the plumber,” the Toledo, Ohio, man whose complaints about Barack Obama’s tax plan were highlighted by John McCain in the final [...]

McCain needs a game-changer. Tonight’s debate isn’t it.
He avoids eye contact with Obama; he will not name him beyond a jerk of the head and a reference to “this one.” He glares. He writes notes, stabbing the tablet so that the water in the glass on the shelf under the writing surface shakes. He makes [...]

So round, so smooth, so fully packed! So quick and easy on the draw!
And best of all – that milder, smoother tobacco never leaves an aftertaste! They’re good for you!

There’s a headline for you, courtesy FOX News.
A belated moment of compassion, you think, for Biden’s sorrow over the death of his first wife and their daughter? The Grand Old Man showing the spunky youngster that we can be noble in defeat and show compassion for a fellow American?
No.
“You know, I almost felt a little [...]

FOX News is wet with delight and triumph. After some digging, they’ve found video of Sarah Palin talking coherently about a Supreme Court decision.
So why didn’t Palin talk like this when questioned by Katie Couric? Either Palin just can’t handle pressure, like, at all, or she chose not say anything about the Exxon decision. Why? [...]

It’s the most important opinion out there, and, while New Feminist can’t exactly claim a scoop, or “gotcha journalism” as the intellectual elites now call it, we can point out that Palin’s body language is a dead giveaway:
Notice Palin. Notice how, when Couric asks her a question, Our Journalism Major looks [...]

Posted on 27 September 2008. Filed under: feminism, politics | Tags: Barack Obama, equal pay, gender wage gap, hypocrisy, John McCain, McCain, Obama, wage gap |
McCain’s ads about the supposed wage gap in the Obama campaign are all over the place now.
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that this is true, instead of the gross misrepresentation it actually is.
Why then does McCain oppose doing anything about it? If he’s so concerned about wage gaps and equal pay, why not, [...]

Seriously! Why else would he suspend his campaign to help out with the economic crisis without having any sort of PLAN to help out with the economic crisis?
At last, the King has returned; unfortunately, he’s unable to multi-task – economics AND foreign policy? Even for a president and a hero, that’s a bit too much. [...]

National Review’s courageous Byron York has stepped in today to set the record straight on Obama, sex-ed, and McCain’s Obama sex-ed ad.
York’s argument is basically this: sure, the bill in question does does provide for teaching children that there is a such a thing as inappropriate touching. But “the bill’s intention was to mandate that [...]

New Feminist is officially tired of the debate over whether the salt of the earth belongs in Washington. One side says, Yes! This is what our Founding Fathers wanted. The other side says No! Look what happens when you have inexperienced people in office – we get Bush!
Everyone talks as if ordinary citizens were either [...]
