"Kissing Cousins"
I started watching because it was on YouTube and Rebecca Hazelwood seemed somewhat promising (but not quite there) in Outsourced and the main actor looked kind of like Sendhil Ramamurthy who was one of three reasons I ever continued watching Covert Affairs beyond the first three episodes, the others being Christopher Gorham and that I am a sucker for spy/detective storylines. I continued watching...

Most notable things that have gone badly in Afghanistan just recently:
The horrible massacre of 16 Afghan civilians by a US soldier. That soldier is reportedly being held in Kuwait at the moment.
Marines peeing on dead Taliban… and videotaping it.
The Ulema Council’s harsh, restrictive guidelines on women, which was backed by Karzai.
Today, the Taliban pulled out of...

– Poll: Obama’s a Muslim to many GOP voters in Alabama, Mississippi
I’m sorry, 29% of GOP voters in Mississippi and 21% in Alabama believe interracial marriage should be illegal? What century is this?

Today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day and Feminist Pride Day, and this post is in honor of that. And be sure to read my little footnotes, because they are important.
The notion of pride is, to my own thinking, quintessential to the idea of being a feminist. Feminism comes in a lot of…
So important.

There’s something strange about the sudden surge in interest in the story of Joseph Kony. This is not to say that the Ugandan figurehead, tied closely to the Lord’s Resistance Army, isn’t worth wide notice (it certainly is). But we’ve gotten numerous requests to cover this story (being pushed by the charity group Invisible Children), and we feel like there’s a strange...
