The winter Olympics may seem an odd occasion to celebrate the virtues of entrepreneurial capitalism and economic decentralization, but a front-page piece in today’s New York Times provides an appropriate opportunity to do just that.
As the winter games conclude, the U.S. leads all competing countries in total medals won – 36 and counting – and [...]
Feminist Diversity Cop Wants More “Colored Women” in Vanity Fair
February 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue hit newsstands this week, and the full color glossy has taken a decidedly monochromatic approach to highlighting Tinseltown’s up-and-comers. Naturally, the preponderance of slender, white women gracing the Vanity Fair cover is a big deal in the feminist blogosphere.

Reasonable, no? Compassionate, even. Given the patronizing approach Double X took in its scintillating exposé of Bristol Palin’s sexual [...]
