She writes, in part:
Green activists like to declare that we’re addicted to oil. I think we’re addicted to drama. (…)

I’m excited I stumbled over Richard Wolffe’s article, “When Barry Became Barack,” Newsweek, March 31, 2008. This piece covers the period around when I first met the young Barack Obama, during his sophomore year at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

You’ve got a long way to go, baby. And don’t you forget it.
This oasis of freedom and equality we call the United States? It’s all a mirage, says leftist feminist Jessica Valenti. In fact, “We’re suffering under the mass delusion that women in America have achieved equality.”

Many thanks to Barry Goldwater for this post’s title.

Let me preface this by saying that I have absolutely no military experience. I am a linguist by trade, a libertarian, and an armchair counterjihadist with more experience in the service industry than I care to admit. Believe it or not, this gives me an interesting perspective [...]
