The Fashion House Of Sununu

Filed in National by on September 5, 2012 5 Comments

Really? And Republicans wonder why they’ve lost the women’s vote.

Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu questioned reports that the Tracey Reese dress Michelle Obama wore for her convention address Tuesday night cost $350 on a conference call with reporters Wednesday. Sununu accused the Obama campaign of peddling several lies, including the cost of the dress: “somehow I don’t think that’s the truth either.”

First, the Pandora household has now taken to watching the Olympics On-Demand.  NBC’s coverage has driven all of us away.  What has also bothered us, mainly my daughter, is how the commentary surrounding female athletes has been dominated by their hairstyles, emotional moments, and uniform colors and bikini styles.  So when my Cross-Country and Track […]

Before I get into this allow me to tell everyone what I tell my kids – The book is always better than the movie! That said, I am thrilled with Katniss Everdeen! Katniss is a strong, consistent in her actions, smart hero. You can’t help but root for her. And go ahead and cheer, because Katniss Everdeen won’t let you down. There is no damsel in distress moment, no need to be rescued for stupid, reckless behavior. Not one.

The Mommy Wars Leave Out The Kids

There are some things I agree with in Erica Jong’s WSJ article, but there’s a lot I do not.  While she goes to great lengths to make the point that mothers shouldn’t feel guilty the point gets lost amid the guilt she dishes out. Cooperative child-rearing is obviously convenient, but some anthropologists believe that it […]

Phyllis Schlafly Is Pro-Life… Sorta

Filed in National by on July 27, 2010 10 Comments

I think she’s pro-life as long as the mother vows to raise the child to vote conservative. “One of the things Obama’s been doing is deliberately trying to increase the percentage of our population that is dependent on government…For example, do you know what was the second biggest demographic group that voted for Obama? Obviously […]

The Oprah Presidency?

Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker must hate that she doesn’t have a penis. What else could I infer from her vapid column in today’s Washington Post, “Obama: Our first female president”. The premise of the piece is interesting, take Toni Morrison’s famous analogy that Bill Clinton was our first black president, and turn it on its […]
