How Anita Sarkeesian Wants Video Games To Change
Minutes after I walked through a metal detector—and some time before she was flocked by well-wishers at the best-attended gaming lecture I've ever been to at New York University—I recently listened to the media critic Anita Sarkeesian describe eight things she'd like to see changed in video games.
Barbara Mikulski Is Just the Kind of Political Badass the Senate Needed
Who is single-handedly fending off the Tea Party Huns from gutting the federal budget, standing up for needy families, and making House Speaker John Boehner look like one of the sad clown porcelain figurines your grandmother keeps in her home just to make unwanted visitors ill at ease? That would be the diminutive…
Don't Miss Jon Stewart's Epic Takedown of the Gun Control 'Debate'

Like an incredibly high stakes Miss America competition, the last Presidential debate of the 2012 election season has come and gone.

Debate Night: the Final Fury
Enjoy the debate. Just not as much as that guy, okay? (Also, do you think he represents, like, religion as a whole and Romney and Obama are political pandering? Is "God" having the last laugh? Just think about it, that's all I ask.) (Don't think about it, forget I said anything.)

Watch Elizabeth Warren Kick Some Debate Ass
Joe Biden and Paul Ryan weren't the only famous politicos to engage in a high-stakes debate this week.

Teenage Girls Have an Excellent Question: Why Hasn't There Been a Female Presidential Debate Moderator in Decades?
A woman hasn't moderated a general-election presidential debate since 1992, but three teenage girls from New Jersey are hoping to change that.

Sarah Palin Unwisely Challenges Barack Obama to a Duel of Words
Sarah Palin isn't too pleased that President Obama's campaign used footage of her in this recent fundraising video, and she's decided to fight back by challenging Barack Obama to a good old-fashioned debate.

Lowlights From The Eight Zillionth Republican Debate
