Apparently, funny covers of the song “Call Me Maybe” is a thing. I didn’t know that. But I do really love this cover by Cooch Watch! (Thank you Feministing!) PS: If anyone in Vegas wants to do something like this (with a different song, perhaps), I am so there!
As full-on Riot Grrrl-era, punk enthusiast, I have been watching the Pussy Riot events unfold with a kind of morbid curiosity. You don’t make a political statement tinged with religious overtones in the House of the Pope without getting some kind of smack-down, no matter how badass it is. After all, they’re protesting a repressive…

Was it just me or was Oscar-fest 2012 one of the most sexist in recent history? I know I’m a bit late in getting this posted, so let’s just dive right in… Angelina Jolie: Let’s just go right to it, right away. Forget the leg coverage, which is it’s own kind of sexism, when you…
It’s the last sketch in this clip, but worth the wait. There’s nothing quite like seeing Oprah clock someone over the head with a lamp. Hilarious! PS: Stay tuned for some belated post-Oscar thoughts later today…
Whenever I’m sick I give myself license to watch whatever trashy TV I want. And since my toddler started daycare, well… I’ve had a lot of colds lately! And with all this bed rest, has come a lot more time in the world of reality TV. It’s my guilty pleasure! While watching Kourtney & Kim…
“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity,” Martin Luther King, Jr., from Strength to Love.
