Sarah Palin's Wardrobe, The Universe Completely Crazy

Megan Carpentier — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:00:00 EST

The end of the week is a time to sit and digest the insanity that the week has spawned. More news on Sarah Palin's style? Check. Canadian Parliamentary crisis? Check. A Supreme Court case on Barack Obama's birth certificate? Yup, got that, too. Between all of that, plus calls for Robert Mugabe to resign, Tim Geithner to pull his head out of his (possibly sexist) ass, and Andrew Cuomo not caring about black people, it's damn lucky that I have Racialicious' Latoya Peterson along on this ride to Crazytown (not nearly as awesome as Funkytown, by the way).

Governor's Ball: Ed Rendell Is A Sexist Jerk; David Paterson Isn't

The Next Terror Attacks Will Not Be Televised

Megan Carpentier — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 10:00:00 EST

There's nothing like a good political discussion between two friends that rides quickly off the rails, which is basically what happened this morning with Latoya Peterson of Racialicious and me, when we fully planned to talk about the next terror attacks on the United States and then drifted into farm subsidies, foreign aid, violence in the media, Malawi and Mexico and didn't manage to even work in a single reference to Madonna because we were so focused on corn. Mmmmm. Corn! More »
