Oh hey peoples do you read the Internet magazine called Salon? ‘Cause we don’t, except for Heather Havrilesky’s teevee column sometimes! Anyway if you do, and if you were outraged by its middle-aged female editor’s curious support for a middle-aged female presidential candidate, check out this parody site, which might actually make sense to you.

THAT’S SEXIST: The Washington Post is super sorry for running that funny column last week by that one lady about how the ladies are swooning for Handsome Barack Obama. Washington Post “Ombudsman” Deborah Powell writes: “But my umpteen years of experience have taught me to be wary of using humor, satire or irony about gender, race or religion.” Yes, we noticed that. [Washington Post]

LADIES ANGRY AT OTHER LADIES: How many feminists does it take to write a pathetically sincere Huffington Post column about how feminists are not going to take this whole “you have to vote for Hillary because she’s a lady” pressure from the Clintons? The answer is, of course, “That’s not funny!” (Also, the answer is “two,” as in “it took two feminists to write this shit.”) [Huffington Post]

The one-third-of-a-term senator is running for president! Finally, even a black man with no experience can become the most dangerous person in the world.

Speaking of “man,” feminists want to know why a totally unqualified dopehead like Dubya or Obama gets to be president when a totally unqualified dopehead woman can’t become president. The answer to that, obviously, is “Just wait until 2012 when Jenna Bush becomes President for Life.”

Enjoy the boring-ass Obama announcement, supposedly written by Barack Hussein himself, after the jump.

Many people didn’t like former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers, who today announced his resignation as president of Harvard. Feminists were infuriated by his controversial comments suggesting that inherent gender differences may explain why fewer women than men have succeeded in math and science. Faculty members were incensed over how he handled the departure of a popular dean, William Kirby. MORE »

Harriet Miers might seem like W’s ultradeferential “work wife,” but she makes free with the speaking fees for some bigtime feminists, reports the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Peter Schmidt. When she was on the board of trustees for the Southern Methodist University Law School, Miers backed an endowed lecture series for women’s studies, named in honor of pioneering Texas woman lawyer Louise B. Raggio. Miers “not only advocated for the series, but gave money and solicited donations to get it off the ground,” Schmidt writes. But what’s really striking is who the money went to: MORE »
