I’m working on a column called “A Man’s Responsibilities,” and I’d like you to suggest any responsibilities that you think a man has by virtue of being a man, below in the comments section. The piece is just starting to take shape and I want to make sure I’m not missing anything.

The WAPO has done a piece that is supposed to be a damning indictment of the type of care captured illegals get before they’re deported. Personally, I think it reads better as a preview of what would happen if the Democrats got their way and socialized medicine came to pass. Just take a look at […]

Romesh Ratnesar takes to the pages of TIME to ask, in apparent seriousness, “Is It Time to Invade Burma?” The disaster in Burma presents the world with perhaps its most serious humanitarian crisis since the 2004 Asian tsunami.

It goes without saying that the GOP is taking a dreadful thrashing right now. Conservatives are unmotivated, Democrats are obliterating Republicans in the fundraising arena, and the GOP’s poll numbers have dropped off a cliff. George Bush, the face of the Republican Party, has an approval rating of 30% and according to Rasmussen Reports, one […]

Esquire has a list of the The 75 Skills Every Man Should Master. Although it’s a fun list, they left out a few essentials and went heavy on the fluff. Here’s the RWN list of the 19 things every man should be able to do, 1) Shoot a gun. 2) Catch a fish. 3) Throw […]

I found this quote from Democratic strategist Donna Brazile to be deliciously ironic, “Paul, baby, we need to not divide and polarize the Democratic Party. . . . So stop the divisions. Stop trying to split us into these groups, Paul, because you and I know . . . how Democrats win, and to simply […]

If you want to know why Barack Obama didn’t hold his hand over his heart while the National Anthem was playing or why he made such a big deal out of not wearing a flag pin, it was so he could appeal to the sort of people who read the Daily Kos. Is that a […]

It has long been noted that conservatives are happier people than liberals and here’s the latest “scientific” explanation of why that is, Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found. Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a […]

Over at the HuffPo, Jeffrey Feldman is actually accusing Rush Limbaugh of trying to incite violence with Operation Chaos, For weeks, now, Rush Limbaugh has been trying to incite political violence by giving on-air military-sounding orders, effectively ‘commanding’ his listeners to wage war against the U.S. electoral system. The right-wing pundit’s ‘orders’ to his Republican […]

Over at USA Today, Don Campbell wrote a pretty good column called the “Wright story: What took so long?” Well, it was good except for one thing — the author didn’t answer his own question, Barring some really strange math or a lot of second thoughts, the Democrats seem poised to nominate for president a […]

Some people believe that liberals and conservatives are just flip sides of the same coin when it comes to the judiciary, but that’s not so. Conservatives believe judges should adhere to the original intent of the Constitution and not try to usurp the role of the legislature. On the other hand most liberals care little […]

Liberals have been beating the “they’re going to round us up and stick us in camps” bongo drum, on and off, since back in the sixties — at least. Well, over at the Democratic Underground, the paranoia seems to be running wild again because of a story about ICE prepping what looks to be a […]

“Asked how she feels about Bill Clinton’s use of the phrase “fairytale” to describe her husband’s characterization of his position on the Iraq war, (Michelle Obama) first responded: “No.” But, after a few seconds of contemplation, and gesturing with her fingernails, she told the reporter: “I want to rip his eyes out!” Noticing an aide […]

Yesterday, Hillary won a squeaker in Indiana while Obama blew her out in North Carolina. What does that mean?
