... how perfectly the discussion caputures the Female Conservative Derangement Syndrome found at Lindsay Beyerstein's post, " The Truth Hurts: Newsweek 's Palin Cover ." For example: The bottom line is that Palin's a clown. She doesn't get a pass because her chosen clown persona is stereotypically feminine. She caricatures herself. Day in and day out. Good for Newsweek for pointing...

From Tomasky, Moore, and Afghanistan by Lindsay Beyerstein: …when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, a lot of people in the Muslim world saw it as struggle of Christendom vs. Islam. As a result, Afghanistan became a destination for would-be jihadists from all over the world. That's how Osama bin Laden got his start. If our goal is ultimately to marginalize Islamic extremists, we...

I now offer some breezy comments on a Matter of Great Importance: that Newsweek cover photograph of Lady Also, a.k.a Caribou Barbie, a.k.a. Dotard McCain's Dotty Girlfriend, the photo that was cribbed from the back pages of Runner's World. Lindsay Beyerstein captures the spirit of the kerfuffle well enough: There's nothing scandalous about Palin showing some skin, or wearing Spandex....

Lindsay Beyerstein argues that , contrary to the most obvious inference, that reproductive freedom advocates weren't asleep at the switch when the House adopted the Stupak amendment, and that it's likely not to survive the Senate: The reality is much more complicated. Abortion-rights groups were actually watching and lobbying against stringent anti-abortion restrictions in the health-care...

Lindsay Beyerstein on the Sarah Palin Newsweek cover picture: Newsweek used this photograph of Sarah Palin as this week's cover shot. The headline reads, "How do you solve a problem like Sarah? She's bad news for the GOP--and for everybody...

We’ve been chatting on Twitter about the Newsweek Palin cover. Consensus is that it was a really stupid cover choice by Newsweek. The defenses I’ve read online for Newsweek have been pretty week. The best one, so far has come from Lindsay Beyerstein: There’s nothing scandalous about Palin showing some skin, or wearing [...]

By Lindsay Beyerstein My first Newsweek story, on the Stupak Amendment , the senate bill, and what's next in the fight over abortion access under health reform. National abortion-rights advocacy groups were outraged when the House passed the Stupak amendment to the health-care bill. The amendment—named for its sponsor, Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak—would bar patients who receive government...

... constantly improve our physical appearance, and then taxed when we take steps to do just that. As Lindsay Beyerstein said on a feminist listserve I’m on, “It’s one of those classic sexist double binds: Society tells you that you have to look perfect and then sticks you with a ’sin’ tax when you do what’s expected of you. Boob jobs would titillate men AND subsidize their health care.”...
