The Week (or so) in Review: October 4- 15 2008

I’m going to try my best to NOT speak about politics in this post.
I have looked back at my blog over the past year and I realize that I used to talk a lot about my life and what was going on in it; a journal, so to speak.
While politics are the main focus in [...]

Jane Devin: Angry and Frustrated

WTF Friday: After the Debate? Angry & Frustrated.
 

9/11: History, Present, Future

I have reflected- in print- on 9/11 for the last two years.

Camille Paglia on Sarah Palin

 
On August 30, 2008, feminist social critic Camille Paglia said of Sarah Palin: “[She] is as tough as nails”.
