Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton and longtime beau Marc Mezvinsky were wed Saturday "in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts," a 50-acre estate in Rhinebeck, New York, according to a joint statement issued by her parents, former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Chelsea was spotted, or stalked, by the press as she attempted to go incognito in a big floppy hat while making wedding arrangements. The wedding is set for this Saturday:
Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller has published a dump of Journolist emails in which the liberal journalists privately discuss Andrew Sullivan's favorite fantasy all about how that evil witch Sarah Palin faked her last pregnancy in order to cover for her teen daughter. Much of the discussion centers on the many reasons why the journalists should not touch this story. And the point is made that even if it's true, it's hardly a crime but rather exactly what a good mother might do.
Bob Somerby finds one journalist who has the sense to look at Breitbart's deplorable record. And he reminds us of the injustice done to ACORN:
For some reason BP is not firing "the most hated man in America," aka Tony Hayward. The CEO is being reassigned to Russia.
The Hudson Valley News has photos of the wedding site and reports:
After all this time, universities are still trying to squirm out of giving women's sports a fair share of the funds. Relegating women to cheap alternatives like cheerleading (and knitting) is just another way to continue the sexist tradition of giving the bulk of the money to men's sports:
So Obama is not speaking at the liberal Netroots conference, but he's sending a representative from the Obama Administration.
Another day, another Tennessee lawmaker opens his mouth and embarrasses the entire state. When he's not hoping to be the next Governor of Tennessee, Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) is longing to start another civil war:
Misogynist Tucker Carlson has a story at his Daily Caller site reporting that Keith Olbermann is a misogynist. (Keith Olbermann is a misogynist?!!?) The two men are currently feuding.
We're getting very close to the day when the SCOTUS will actually include the record breaking number of 3 women on the bench. Three women and six men will be as close as we've ever gotten to fair representation in this so-called democracy. Speaking of the Party of No, just one lonely Republican on the male-dominated Senate Judiciary Committee voted for Elena Kagan:
Paul Krugman: when you 'cringe in the face of the right', you are going to be 'fooled again and again and again':
"You should assume that if he makes it down the aisle in one piece it's going to be a major accomplishment.… He is going to be so emotional, as am I."
Here's more feminist news from Sweden, funny how all news from Sweden seems to be feminist news. If it makes you green with envy, remember that it's never too late to apply for immigrant status to Sweden or one of the many European nations that are serious about legislating and promoting women's rights.
After all these years, we're still fighting religious bigotry, with a lot of help from our 'leaders.' Clearly aiming to capture the fear and intolerance vote, Tennessee GOP primary gubernatorial candidate Ron Ramsey recently suggested that being Muslim is a cult, or something other than a religion: “You could even argue whether being a Muslim is actually a religion or is it a nationality, way of life or cult, whatever you want to call it.” (Watch it below, at 4:43 in the video.)
The Obama Administration has decreed that abortion coverage will not be permitted in the new high-risk insurance pools except for instances of rape, incest, or endangering the life of the woman. I don't see "a woman's health" in that list of exceptions. But why am I looking for "a woman's health" in a health reform bill?

Don't you just love it when your U.S. Senator jokes about women not looking feminine enough for him? Here's yet more evidence that any low-life bubba can be a United States Senator. 
The widely reported guest list to Chelsea Clinton's wedding reads like a cross between a fairy tale and a super fancy campaign fundraiser -- from Oprah to Obama, Barbara Streisand, Ted Turner, Doris Kearns Goodwin and Steven Spielberg.
Sarah Palin beats all male contenders for the presidential nomination in her party by a mile, in the latest Gallup poll. Of course they're all male. If the party leaders don't want Sarah Palin to be their nominee, maybe they should start recruiting some women to run against her.
Attempting to ordain women is as bad a crime against the Church as raping children? So sayeth the crackpot Church Fathers at the Holy Vatican.
You might think Tucker Carlson and Keith Olbermann would be the best of friends since they have so much misogyny in common.
No one is more qualified for this job than Elizabeth Warren, but apparently the woman is too tough on the predatory banks and too tough on poor Timmy Geithner.
And yet another country leaves the USA in the barbaric dust on the little matter of human rights. Despite fierce opposition from the Catholic Church and other backward religious organizations, same-sex marriage is now legal in Argentina.
I'm amazed that Governor Bredesen has done this good thing. Death sentences never get commuted in Tennessee, but the Governor commuted this one.
Well, that's one way to shut Levi up. Maybe:
Women who wear burqa veils in public will be fined $185 or required to take citizenship classes. The law mandates a year in prison and a fine of $38,000 for the crime of forcing women to wear the veil:
The Swiss refuse to extradite Roman Polanski. No longer under house arrest, the child rapist is free.
Huma Abedin -- the famously longtime aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton -- is marrying Congressman Anthony Weiner.
