Trimming the fat from my Google Reader

By jeff | Published: October 21, 2009
I used to genuinely like The Feministing blog, but now they do things like “deconstruct” Mad Men through the feminist lens, as if we were all so stupid as to not understand these supposed “nuances” handled with the approximate level of subtlety that might be achieved by Matthew Weiner coming to my house, lighting himself [...]

‘What up?’ To all chairmen: Shut up.

By jeff | Published: October 13, 2009
