- The Jews have excommunicated Matt Yglesias, which means he will no longer receive the weekly newsletter. Also, he has lost his peanut butter-and-jelly challah sandwich privileges. [Matt Yglesias]
- REDSTATE SIREN! Republican Senators are probably folding on health care! Why? For Pete’s sake, they have pocket rockets! [RedState]
- Jonah Goldberg. Born lobotomized? [True/Slant: Michael Roston]
- Ayn Rand is considered one of America’s most influential intellectuals, although almost everyone agrees that she is slightly less important than Star Wars Kid. [Hit & Run]
- Have you pre-ordered your copy of The Case Against Female Suffrage yet? Ha-Ha. We are doomed. [Think Progress]
you can count me as strongly opposed to female sufferage. i think they have suffered enough over the past 10,000 years or so. it’s time for them to run things and send us menfolk to our man-caves to play with our dingalings, which is all we ever wanted to do anyway. the wars, etc., were all a misunderstanding arising from frustration. we would apologize, but it wouldn’t mean anything. what time’s the game begin?
oh Riley, this headline gave me STARBURSTS.
I must disagree that Rand is an “underaynalysed political figure.”
Republicans should absolutely dive in and take up the cause of repealing women’s sufferage!
This is a winner of an issue for them!
What does Michael Steele have to say about this, BTW?
BTW, this sufferage thing is a good proof point for Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina to prove they are conservatives afterall. They need to spin this “never bothering to vote” thing as “we were deliberately abstaining from our sufferage rights in order that our hormones would not sway our vote”.
Shorter John Derbyshire: “Susan, be quiet.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you say women should vote but as soon as a proto-Sarah Palin steps up and writes a grapihc novel or something about a spunky rogue grrrl who runs a railroad you get all down on her. I get it. Why does teh Wonkett hate women?
He should’ve titled it: “The Case Against Blowjobs,” cos he is never getting one again, ever.
Coulter agrees with him, but this is not as surprising when you think about it.
Per Redstate’s “Senate GOP Folding Over Health Care Reform”–isn’t folding a transitive verb, as in “Senate GOP Folding Boys Over a Stack of Health Care Reform Bills They Haven’t Read.”
The Case Against Suffrage will in my opinion always have been articulated by an intellectual far superior to Ayn Rand: David Bowie (okay, I know that sounds sarcastic but I actually believe that Bowie’s brain stem >>> Ayn Rand’s whole brain).
And I quote,
“Oh don’t lean on me man, cause you can’t afford the ticket
I’m back on Suffragette City
Oh don’t lean on me man
Cause you ain’t got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight…she’s all right”
Truer words have never been uttered.
Isn’t there some kind of middle ground we can argue here, like why it should be scientifically proven womyn get 3/5ths a vote, and the brown skins get none?
Somebody at the healthcare PAC must have forgotten to make a “campaign contribution.”
AbstinenceOnly Ed: Not a free one, anyway.
Today, we are all conservative women who believe that progress and social justice should have ended after the hard-won victory in 1923.
And I love Derb’s rationale (sic): it’s because the wimmin’s maternal instincts discourage them from voting for conservatives. Yes, caring about others should disqualify you from the democratic process.
Hmmmm. What other groups can you name whose voting is bad for conservatives?
Young Riley did an excellent news roundup, yet hardly any commenters and only the women’s suffrage gets any attention. Poor Young Riley.
I, for one, am still trying to figure out what the fuck that Goldberg dickwad was talking about. Why’s he so gay for Montana? He got something against Oklahoma? Okies are every bit as stupid as Montanans.
i really hate my home state.
comicbookguy: I know, I know!
1. All ethnic minorities (except maybe Cubans, but even they are suspect).
2. Gays (except self-loathing closeted types).
3. Jews (except certain neoconservatives).
4. Muslims (duh).
5. Non-southerners (except Utah and parts of Idaho and Alaska).
6. College educated (except Liberty College, of course).
7. Those below the age of, what, 50? 60? 70?
Anyone outside all of the above categories should be good to go.
DustBowlBlues: 1) I had trouble logging on earlier so could be all the people who wanted to comment on Riley’s work couldn’t get on.
2) Could be everyone is fucking spoiled and expects PAINTINGS of topics and not just sillyass text descriptions of topics. If Riley had included, say, a Karen Kilimnik SNOW WHITE painting to illustrate his grrrl theme everyone would be over here sipping wine and trying to say the cool things to impress their date and get one of those twelve hour get somes.
DustBowlBlues: He’s gay for Montana because of his inner Marlboro Man.
Goldberg is getting ready for a job at WaPo or the New York Times. You’re almost there, Jonah!!
Next person who interviews Darby Derbyshire should bundle the regular WTF question in with a question about Repub opposition to Franken’s amendment. Interviewer would then note that all 4 R women and all 13 D women voted in a block, basically throwing a wet blanket on lots of future raping and kidnapping.
Ayn Rand would tear off his nuts without upsetting the ash on the end of her cigarette.
Reminds me of yesterday when I made my ‘Challah back’ bread to enjoy the thread in which Jesus writes the US Constitution for the only real country in the world. It was cinnamon-sugar sexytime.
The man against suffrage obviously hasn’t seen a vagina since birth.
AbstinenceOnly Ed: Well, maybe not from a woman…
Anyone read Matt Yglesias post? It was really kind of amazing, as were most of the comments on the story (most were, in fact, good comments). Very educational, to say the least.
Mahousu: Don’t forget those who don’t own a significant amount of land!
There is no reason to give Derbytonwillshire any attention, not only because his argument is insanely weak, as there are many women who vote Republican and thus, against their own interests, but also because he is such a fucking pussy when it comes to addressing the main topic of the book.
The book is called “The Case Against Female Suffrage.” Own it, you fucking cowardly pile of dog shit. Don’t hem and haw when people ask you whether women should be allowed to vote. Say no. That’s what you believe - you believe that they shouldn’t be allowed to vote. I may think that you are a waste of carbon, but if you’re going to make outrageous claims, at least stand by them.
AnnieGetYourFun: Derbytonwillshire: a man worth less than the market value of his constituent elements, which is around a dollar or two at today’s prices.
AnnieGetYourFun: The CHAPTER is called “The case against female suferage”- but the owning-it-you-fucking-coward still applies. The think progress article words it confusingly and does make it look like that is the title of the book, if you read it too quickly. It would have been an awesome name for a book, as would “Bitches Be Frontin” by John Derbyshire, introduction by Prince Al-Saud.
The booked is literally called “We Are Doomed” and has a picture of guy frowning on the cover. No joking.
