There Will Be No Water Pipes For Gaza's Women

Katy Kelleher — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:06:00 EDT

Gaza's Hamas rulers have banned women from smoking water pipes in cafes, arguing that it is sullying the image of the Palestinian people. Apparently, putting a hose in your mouth is sexual - but only when the ladies do it. More »

Your Jewish Mom Is Going To Have A Crush On Obama

Moe — Tue, 13 May 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Life, an esteemed Glamocracy editor said to me today, "is a suicidal act. It is just a more masochistic suicide than average." What differentiates us, then, is nothing but the barely visible variations of degree to which we flatter ourselves into thinking we are the navigators of that masochism, when really our parents are the only ones who can do that. So! Barack Obama's mom was smart enough to follow spent the summer after their years in Muslimstan with a stint a Jew-y summer camp! Barry read Philip Roth and the Talmud and learned to love Israel in theory. (The "in rationalist political expediency" love came later.) Oh yeah, and tonight Hillary Clinton is about to win a pointless landslide in West Virginia. And the rest of the world...well, it's trapped under the rubble of thirty seismic jolts or newly released from the Kafkaesque numerical metaphor that is the state of being a 20th hijacker, but whatevs. We tell ourselves stories in order to assist our own suicides as they say after the jump!

The Obama Attack Ad Too "Extreme" For John McCain!

Moe — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:40:00 EDT

"They're not listening to me because they're out of touch with reality and the Republican Party. We are the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan and this kind of campaigning is unacceptable. I've done everything that I can to repudiate and to see that this kind of campaigning does not continue." That's the seventysomething presumptive nominee for the Republican presidential candidate, who may just be sufficiently out of touch with the party of Strom Thurmond, Tom DeLay and Dick Cheney to win the election, on the not-so-subtle Obama attack ad you can watch after the jump.

We're Headed To Philly Tonight!

Moe — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Megan and I are convening in Murderdelphia tonight for tomorrow's Pennsylvania primary! This morning a seven-alarm fire reminded everyone once more there used to be an economy there. Now there are too many vacant buildings and not enough crackheads to fill them. Five murders happened over the weekend in Philly. Chelsea Clinton submitted her ass to a fag hag gang grope. Michael Moore endorsed Barack Obama. The railroad industry made a comeback. The Pope made some speeches. Jeremiah Wright is going on TV. Some Republican told other Republicans to forget Reagan. Jimmy Carter won't make it so easy on you! Obama said he thought John McCain would be better than Bush. (Maybe because the Walnuts' stubborn refusal to wear a flag pin dovetails with his own 1960s radicalism?) And number one Jezecrush Thomas Frank got a weekly column in the Wall Street Journal. "The landmark political fact of our time is the replacement of our middle-class republic by a plutocracy," he wrote. "If some candidate has a scheme to reverse this trend, they've got my vote, whether they prefer Courvoisier or beer bongs spiked with cough syrup." There's a thought to drank to! His new book is called The Wrecking Crew. More »

Obama: Gotta Get That Dirt Off Your Shoulder

mcarpentier — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Another week, another Friday Crappy Hour in which the lesser-known Crappyist Megan (of Glamocracy) is forced to beg for someone to write it with her so that she can avoid talking to herself online like she does in real life. Luckily, Spencer Ackerman (of the Washington Independent and the newly-launched Attackerman) is as big an intellectual whore as I ever was despite having never been a lobbyist. We talk about how the New Yorker loves to quote bloggers but never by name, campaign sex, how W. cock-blocked Spencer more-than-just-metaphorically in November 2000 and how the Hamas endorsement of Obama is just part of the vast right-wing conspiracy or something. Guess Obama's got some other dirt to brush off his shoulder. More »

Hot Obama Adviser Samantha Power F*****s Up Big Time!

Moe — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:00:00 EST

Dear Obama foreign policy adviser Samantha Power, you are hot. You are Elizabeth Kucinich hot, maybe even Huma Abedin hot. But you like to say "Fuck" and that's what really counts here. You play basketball. With George Clooney. You're a humanitarian. Marie Claire named you the Smartest Woman In America. You wrote a book on UN Sergio Vieira de Mello, which...reminds us that the Iraq War has killed not only 600,000 or so innocents, but some with really sexy names. You're not afraid to go back and admit that something you said before was "stupid." But we never really thought much about you until yesterday, when you gave an interview to a Scottish newspaper while drunk. Or something. You admitted you "fucked up" in Ohio. And then proceeded to fuck up some more! After the jump Megan Carpentier of the blog Glamocracy and I discuss whether it's possible Power called Hillary a "monster" affectionately, and also Condi, Pelosi, Boeing, Ed Rendell, anarchy in Times Square, text messages from Hamas and the Smurfs, in a special deluxe A380 sized TGIF IM. Viva Crap. More »

"You Know When They Say It Was Like Something Out Of The Bible?"

Here's a photo from yesterday's bountiful Shopping Spree of Sinai, during which Palestinians who've been going without food and fuel and motorcycles since the Israelis blockaded them seven months ago in response to a bunch of rocket attacks, finally said, hey look, here's another border wall with a country that isn't quite so aggro about things, let's see what happens if we tear that one down instead. And, well, what happened was very good for anyone in the business of changing shekels into Egyptian pounds. Meanwhile on the home front, the endless campaign of 2008 continued and from two laptop computers in separate East Coast cities of America, Megan and I wondered pointlessly what would happen if America let all the Mexicans kick down our border walls and come shopping, so long as they didn't bring their guns...

If Jezebel Was A 'Simpsons' Character She Might Look Like This
