In fact, despite my recent anti-feminist blog entry, I liked Janice’s act the first time I saw it in part because it was overtly feminist, resulting in a couple memorable jokes such as (this may not be verbatim, and my text won’t hold a candle to her delivery): “It bothers me when people call lesbians man-haters — I mean, what do lesbians know about hating men?” and “My feminist demands aren’t that extreme; I just want the simple things — like to be able to eat a banana in public without feeling self-conscious.” [...] […] Despite all the violence and trauma in Girlbomb though — and a few well-earned poignant moments like Janice’s brief glimpse of her vicious, seemingly inhuman, teen-girl attacker’s teddy bear — Janice turned out to be a swell human being as an adult and, as the book does not say but as I’ve seen with my own eyes, she has become a talented stand-up comedian in addition to being a successful writer and volunteering at a shelter for homeless teens.

I am inclined to think that in any case McCain may have taken the lead in the "most Satanic" category for singing this week in what was intended to be a humorous fashion about bombing Iran. I'm not saying whether I like or dislike him -- or Satan -- but it is oddly "ghoulish." Thank you for the clarification, Mr. Cabal.

The man is yet another in a long series of vicious Republiscum closet queens. He should be waterboarded until he tells us what he knows about 911. I gave up my infatuation with Giuliani.
