Camille Paglia on Sarah Palin

Posted 09-10-2008 at 01:14 PM by NicoMoon (Nico's Blog)

I haven't heard from Camille Paglia for years, but I saw her quoted today, and wanted to share her comments about Sarah Palin.

"Per Camille Paglia:

"Conservative though she may be, I felt that Palin represented an explosion of a brand new style of muscular American feminism. At her startling debut on that day, she was combining male and female qualities in ways that I have never seen before. And she was somehow able to seem simultaneously reassuringly traditional...

Did McCain put lipstick on a pig and call it Hillary?

In fairness, here is a video of McCain making a similar comment to Obama's regarding Hillary's health care plan.

Lipstick

Posted 09-10-2008 at 11:48 AM by NicoMoon (Nico's Blog)

Is it just me, or am I the only one who knows the "pig in lipstick" comment to be a sophomoric insult against women?

I first heard it used in high school to insult someone's date. I don't believe I've ever heard it again in any other context than as a not so subtle way to characterize a woman as a pig. Very few men wear lipstick, and so far none are wearing it out on the campaign trail.

When I heard the soundbite last night, I just about fell off my chair,...

Beyond the Palin

Posted 09-08-2008 at 03:07 PM by NicoMoon (Nico's Blog)

Wasting animals

Posted 06-21-2008 at 11:39 AM by SnedtheHead

I wonder...Is it ever okay to exploit an animal product. The activists I met told me,"absolutely not, for any reason". The reason this comes to my mind is because on the first day I worked at Animal Acres, there was a garbage can full of wool that had been sheared off of the sheep. I asked Lori about it and she said it was destined for the dump or the pasture.

Your kidding right... Animal acres is a non-profit orginization and is always complaining about money... These sheep...
