I only just read that JK Rowling piece. If I could love her any more than I already do, I would now!

That’s why they formed the Tea Party-it’s a support group. And a great way to find an unemployed white guy to trim your hedges at the same time, so you don’t have to deal with anyone with dark skin or an accent, God forbid.

OMG, I absolutely LOVE that Michael Berube bit. It’s hard out there for a rich white conservative, y’all!

Also, Jessica Yee’s posts on Bitch have been super-enlightening for me to read.

I feel compelled to add the following bit of awesome by Michael Bérubé as well.

It is indeed hard to be a conservative in American media. One is always wondering, what if I get something wrong? About something important, like maybe a health care debate or a war? Will I lose my job and be subject to public ridicule for the rest of my life? And then there’s the question of what kind of plane to buy, which country club to join, whether to vacation in the Caribbean, central America, or the south of France. It can be terribly socially isolating.

I actually belatedly posted this in last week’s Linkaround—sorry for the repeat—but here’s a post I made on Tuesday that was a huge weight off my chest:

This week at re:Cycling, the blog of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research, we've got a response to the recent article in ObGyn News about whether cosmetic procedures on women's genitalia is exploitive or not; cough syrup as a fertility aid; a review of performance by the Adventures in Menstruating team at NYC's Bluestockings bookstore; and the Kardashian sisters shilling for Kotex.
