That's What My Daddy's Made Me: Simian Mobile Disco's "Hustler" Videos
I’ve been listening to the London-based Simian Mobile Disco, a music production team who call themselves “Electro/ Psychadelic/ Alternative” on their Myspace page. They are composed of two guys named James (foreground, left) and claim to sound like “good, old-fashioned, analogue party music” (as their wacky Brit-ball spelling has it).

Equality: Not Satanism, Last I Checked
Recently I stumbled upon this website run by that beacon of truth and goodness, the Christian Right. In fine form, they announced at the beginning of the page, “FEMINISM IS EVIL! Beware of the feminists, many are LESBIANS!” Ah, yes, such tolerance and open mindedness is exactly what we have been taught to expect from [...]

Whassup, Bitches?: Female Chauvinism's Place is in the Garbage.
This poll discussed over at Slate in the article “Man Up!” found that “Despite the recent frenzy of media attention over the issue of race in America, a new poll by CBS (PDF) suggests that gender may cause more problems for contemporary presidential contenders.
