And I really like her style of writing, I like the fact that she doesn't solely attack the Republicans but also others.
She look like little red hair....but if you were single you could probably get an intercourse,

Dowd writes too many man-hating articles for my taste. I take her as an undercover lesbian feminist, not that it is bad, but when you can use something as powerful (paper of record) as the NY times as a pulpit it can only invoke division and not unity, as she pretends to want.

I am kinda with August here. Outside of Frank Rich, the times editorials are left leaning. Though sometimes they are true, they still have a bias.

The rest of the NY times is the best journalism you can find, just avoid the editorials!

Take it from someone who gets it delivered to his house.

As for Newt, he is the most viable of the candidates, but is getting eaten by his own. Even his own Fox news cronies are smacking him, they want Mitt.

I loved Newts views on foreign aid. Fox hated it, it went against the status quo. Our military contractors got butthurt.

Times is very good Vendor. In print it has some of the most hard hitting and raw pictures on the front page, and it avoids the "tabloid type, yellow journalism" that the NYpost, and NY daily news gives you.

No 10 page spread of "random actresses" dresses at some irrelavant awards show in the Times.

Just beware of the editorials.

Yeah Krugman can make sense sometimes, Dowd can make you chuckle. But they serve an interest, the interest that signs thier checks. Just as Fox news editorial shows serve theirs on the other end of the spectrum.

Clear mind and objectivity would save this (my) country from being an joke and a bully.


But most will go for internal strife, and eating our own.

That's funny because from what I remember most of the avowedly feminist bloggers I used to read regularly didn't seem to like her that much either.

Please don't take my post the wrong way Frau Kapitan.

It is just hard to catch the male attention in journalism when 2 articles out of 4 a month seem to trash them for something most of us testicle bearing gentleman can't help.

I don't want to seem like a misogynist. I love girls. They smell nice, and make me happy.

No, not taking it the wrong way at all.

A lot of what gets pushed by mainstream media as "feminist" or "written by/for women" isn't particularly feminist at all, because it exists primarily to sell copies and make a profit and therefore either goes overboard to one extreme or the other in order to create controversy, or else falls pretty much in line with the status quo which means it only serves to perpetuate the same old tired sex/gender stereotypes.

More about eye catching headlines, and using division (nationalism, racism, sexism etc) to create opposing vicious dialogue, rather than saying it like it is.

If you look closely at some media outlets you will see they only serve to turn us against each other.

Example? Watch the response to this

Tea Party is born from the womb of Koch industries. Soros funded the OWS movement.

Hold on kids!

Then So, why waste your time, Frau Kapitan can perhaps learn a little anti-feminist talk to you ... and I'm sure she smells good,

I don't know if Vendor's been eating too many Wheaties lately or what, but he sure is mighty frisky these days.
