Marissa Mayer [new CEO of Yahoo] doesn\u2019t particularly care for feminism<\/a>, on Feministing<\/p>\n

And Marissa, it\u00a0is\u00a0<\/em>too bad that feminism has become a negative word. You know what\u2019s also too bad? Your failure to acknowledge that without feminism, you could never have become the CEO of Yahoo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

KANSAS FETUS MEMORIAL TO BE CLASSY, JEW-Y<\/a>, on Wonkette<\/p>\n

Probably all humans should be offended by the \u201cInternational Pro-Life Memorial and National Life Center<\/a>\u201d being planned in Wichita, because it ismonstrously tacky,<\/em>\u00a0featuring what appears to be the atrium of a mid-90s suburban Radisson glommed onto a brick wall that it is intended to be an \u201cexact replica\u201d of the Western Wall, aka the Wailing Wall, aka the\u00a0retaining wall\u00a0to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where Jews go to\u00a0pray\u00a0and stick notes between the stones and such. It seems churlish to point out that the\u00a0actual Western Wall<\/a>\u00a0does not, for instance, have a stair-stepped top, like the one in the picture above. Nor does it face a broad lawn dotted by crosses, each representing a million dead fetuses. But, you know, to each their own.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
