After decades of shining spectacularly, such would appear to be the eventual fate of golf's brightest supernova, Tiger Woods, whose hydrogen seems to be running out fast.

Transcript of staff assistant Sidney @ Chuck Schumer's NY Office 212-486-4430
Constituent: After Mr. Schumer called women the b word does he have any intention of apologizing to all women for this? What about strongly denouncing the word as misogyny?

Sindney: He has not made a comment on that . He has apologized to the stewardess
That is ALL he has to say.

Constituent: If he had called a black stewardess the n word would that merit an apology to all blacks?

Sidney: Why would he say that? the n word.

Constituent: Why did he say to the b word?

"If the public can't forgive Tiger, then something is wrong with the public!"

Did my ears deceive me? This morning on the Today Show, the discussion was on Tiger Woods. I didn't catch too much, but the gist was that Tiger was getting ready to play golf in the Masters this April. The question posed was: is the public ready to forgive Tiger for his transgressions.

Oh cheating, what a weary thing. I hate to get into the bedrooms of others. I am not going to tell anyone whom to divorce or not.

"I'm still glad I supported Obama over Hillary Clinton,” says Katha Pollitt, the token female writer at The Nation as well as airhead extraordinaire and slave to patriarchy. Why exactly is she glad about her devotional attendance to her master Obama? Because—and kids, I kid you not on this one!—because…if Hillary had won, media types would have said mean things about Hillary. REALLY. Folks, it just don’t getin’ anynin’ more stupidn’ than this! AS IF, the media hadn’t already savaged Hillary in 2008.

"I know journalists aren't supposed to use words like mean and dumb, but I can't help it. Palin is one of the meanest people on the public stage today. She wallows in it. She loves it! Also? Possibly one of the dumbest." ~Joan Walsh, Salon.com
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO JOAN SHE IS NOT A JOURNALIST! She is an advocate for the democratic party. TOO BAD JOAN IS TOO DUMB TO GET THE DISTINCTION!
Joan is in Classic MEAN Girl anti-feminist mode as she mocks Palin with the glee of a 12-year-old middle schooler circa 1984. Joan, the 80s are SO over.

Olberman DeathWatch...tick tick tick...ratings down 44%!

Folks it just doesn't get ANY better than this:

Ratings for Olbermann's Countdown have been soft recently, and the 8 p.m. shows on CNN and HLN have narrowed the gap. In the important demographic of adults 25 to 54 -- the group advertisers are looking to reach -- Countdown was down 44% year-over-year in January."

Rock on to this nation and is citizens! Olbermann's psychotic misogyny and virulent hatred are being rejected by citizens who don't have DSM- IV codes totaling the national budget!

Mourning women's rights leaders lost in Haiti and...Celebrating the quashing of anti-XX Kathy Griffin

Good News we forgot to mention: Anti-Feminist Kathy Griffin has been
banned from CNN. No it wasn't her sexist remarks that got her off the CNN airwaves but the F word. Too Bad...but whatever the reason, Griffin's anti-woman mouth is one we are happy to see go BYE-BYE!

New York Times to Women: Drop Dead. Plus Arlen Specter is a Bigot!

FemiSex has been relentless in outing Sexism at the Gray Lady. Today we continue our serial showcasing of the institutional sexism in the Op-Ed pages at the NYTimes. Before an event, say a presidential debate or Congressional hearing, the paper does a “Questions For” format; the Op-Ed editors round up ~10 folks and solicit questions to present to the powers that be. Virtually every time the ratio of men to women as questioners is 9/1 (or 90% male to 10% female) or at the bestest best! …80% male. Last Wednesday, Jan. 13th, 2009, the editors of the times ran:
