I always really liked them–one of my favorite bands evah! Oh, how I wish I were a Breeder! But, I never got around to it–and now sadly, I think it might be too late! With all of the college and grad school and job- and tenure-seeking in my teens, 20s, and 30s, I never made it a priority to have guitar or … Continue reading Since when did "breeder" become an insult?
Hillary Clinton. Sarah Palin. Barack Obama. Motherhood. Breeder. Breastfeeding. TimTebow. Flame on!
Thanks for your kind comments and e-mails–our family emergency has been resolved. I’m sure you’re wondering what on earth could keep me away from the Berkshire Conference 2011, especially considering that there won’t be another one until 2014! Well, friends–there isn’t a lot that would keep me away from it, but there’s something I haven’t … Continue reading Why I had to skip the Berks
I don’t quite reveal it all, but I’ve been invited to write recently for peer reviewed journals about the non-peer reviewed world-wide time-wasting blogosphere and my playground here, Historiann! I know, friends: Whodathunkit? And who really cares? First of all, readers will find an answer to this question at least if they click on over to Common-place to … Continue reading Historiann tells all! (And too much is sometimes plenty.)

I thought I’d throw you few curves to help keep your day interesting: Roxie’s World brings us the heartwarming story of a non-gay pro-gay little boy in Arkansas named Will Phillips who refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance at school until there truly is “liberty and justice for all” in these … Continue reading Wednesday Round-up: "Gaywads" unite edition, yee-haw!
Squadratomagico (in a recent e-mail exchange) reminded me recently of an article in The Atlantic magazine last spring that may shed some light on this patriarchal equilibrium thingy we’ve been puzzling on for the last six months or so. (This post may have some interesting connections to some of the conversations going on over at Reassigned Time … Continue reading Breast is best…for patriarchal equilibrium?
Simply perfect: Via Suburban Guerilla, botox may migrate from your wrinkles into your brain. But then, maybe that’s what cosmetic surgery advocates want–to turn all women into Stepford Wives!

Andrew Sullivan announced his support for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton (surprise!) because 1) Obama is younger than Clinton, and 2) Obama is a Christian. Seriously. He forgot to remind us that 3) Andrew Sullivan would rather stab his own eyeballs out with a dull pencil than endorse Hillary Clinton for anything!
