The Petty Queer Establishment strikes again
BP knows no shame

Yet BP insists it has been a “model of corporate social responsibility.” Meanwhile, Hayward claims he has been “demonized” in the US, adding that he might be “too busy” to attend future US [...]

Intern Maigh (how old am I, anyway?)
I jumped headlong into adulthood at 18, when my mother had a stroke sometime during the night before midterms my senior year.
When I was 21 my mother passed, my father following suit two years later (devastating coincidence, I assure you it was not from a broken heart), and I was on my own.

Sharia law in Tennessee?
That’s Tenn. GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Ramsey’s defense for opposing a new Islamic Center in Murfreesboro, where such a facility already exists. As is the case with the so-called Ground Zero mosque, there’s been no evidence presented linking the Murfreesboro mosque to radical Islam. Now, I’m all about freedom of religion.

Viva México: Gorditas La Rancherita
I’ve visited countless of times. Really.
Craving for real Mexican food that’s really good? Well, there’s a place for that — Gorditas. Way out OTP. It’s been the only place on my rotation ever since the lovely Ms. Bliss took me there this past winter. Although the place is no longer in [...]
Oliver Stone’s next conspiracy: Israel killed Neda
Hugo’s lickspittle (my new favorite word) unleashed: Referring to the alleged influence of the powerful Jewish lobby on U.S. foreign policy, Stone said that Israel had distorted “United States foreign policy for years,” adding he felt U.S. policy toward Iran was “horrible.” “Iran isn’t necessarily the good guy,” Stone said, insisting that Americans did not [...]

Books (and Oprah experts) tell us that if we want our daughters to have high self-esteem, then we need to model it. If we want our daughters to feel beautiful, then we must feel beautiful. And if we want our girls to believe in themselves, then we must…
