Here's the thing: I just do not see you chasing anybody into the men's room in the middle of the night, Emily B . Or you over there in the clown suit/stylish evening wear/ beard and rolled-up washcloth stuffed into your underwear, either, Emily Y . And Read More...

I'm struck by this debate because in many ways it perfectly encapsulates something I've been feeling lately. As a 20-year-old girl (woman?!) who aspires to a career as a conservative journalist, I find myself agonizing over where I'll find my place professionally. Read More...

I'm saying, Emily, that it's not acceptable, much less a Fast Pass, to question feminist dogma on choice within the ranks of "mainstream media" — though I'm sure there are no shortage of book contracts to be had at Regnery. Until the Times hired Bill Read More...

Emily : Ha! Here's a question in answer to your question about whether women who take on feminist orthodoxy are making a wily career move: How many pro-life female journalists do you know? Read More...

Heckuva week for word filchers and fabulists, from Tim Goeglein at the White House to Scott Templeton on The Wire . Not to mention that poor woman who claimed to have walked from Brussels to Warsaw at age 4, along with some highly maternal wolves, after Read More...

Just now back from the land of consumptive coughing to discover that in my absence Hillary Clinton has somehow decided she’s running against us . Between this Hillary-versus-the-media meme and the Obama/messiah silliness, we in the media may have finally Read More...

After the events of this past weekend , it’s very difficult to hear Hillary Clinton extol the virtues of forgiveness. Indeed it’s extremely hard to hear Sen. Clinton say anything at all today over the relentless drumbeat in my own mind: “Don’t say pimp Read More...

It’s hard not to contrast the New Niceness pervading last night’s Democratic debate with the intramural slashing and burning of John McCain. No doubt there’s a lot happening under the surface here, but it’s hard to dispute that Clinton had to rein it Read More...

Thanks, Dahlia, for your response to my post the other day, and for raising the good question about whether women, especially young women, are more "politically checked out" than their male counterparts. Such questions are one reason I get so amped about Read More...

That's funny Ann , the one thing that never occurred to me was that Megan Meier's parents had struck an impossible bargain with her over MySpace. Perhaps because my kids still believe that Dora the Explorer actually lives inside my laptop I haven't yet Read More...
-
Dahlia, I'd say one of the most poignant lines in the New Yorker article -and there were plenty of them-comes from Mrs. Meier, Megan's mother, maturely drawing stark age distinctions. She feels for the teenagers who posted messages posing as "Josh Evans," Read More...

Just read Lauren Collins piece on the Megan Meier MySpace/Suicide story. We haven’t really covered this story at Slate , largely because it’s virtually impossible to wrap your head around it all. Collins doesn’t try to make sense of it all either, just Read More...

This morning’s NYT reports on how skilled Hillary Clinton’s team has been in wringing favorable coverage out of the Drudge Report— and praises her maturity in “a development that has surprised much of the political world: Mrs. Clinton is learning to play Read More...
