Another great post by Ann Althouse re: feminism. Althouse notes the transient support of a Democratic Party that goes nuts over Clarence Thomas, but lets Bill Clinton slide. Ann says that's because feminism was used by the Democrats as a means to an end, the end being the power of the party. When it ceased being useful to that end, it went overboard (I made a similar argument about the fleeting nature of the Democrats' loyalty to the gay community). For extra credit, read "No One Left to Lie To" by the great Christopher Hitchens, and find out about all the other groups to have been discarded by the Clintonistas once they outlived their utility...
Easongate, it's inevitably called, and it's got its own blog now (hat tip to Chrenkoff)...
If you're like me, your single biggest regret in life is that you didn't take the time to compose more essays on political theory in your undergraduate years. Mercifully, Daniel Drezner allows us all to recapture those days in all their glory...
Professor Bainbridge asks "Will the Pope Resign?", and he's kind enough to answer (I agree with his conclusion)...
Two bloggers with a history of great posts behind them (and in front of them, let's hope) have said kind words about yours truly in the last couple of days, so a big thank you to Erick Erickson at Confessions of a Political Junkie and J.A. Gillmartin at the SHEEP'S CRIB. Check them out on a regular basis; I do, and look how well-adjusted I am (note to my ex-girlfriends - no comments necessary). Also a shout out to Nettie at Random Thoughts on Life, she was an early supporter and a frequent commenter, and she's got a new template, to boot (oh, and Nettie, my beagle's name is Starla). Don't forget (as if you could!) Wednesday is Weekly Jackass day! Who, oh, who will it be this week? Stay tuned...
