... are a growing problem. Early in 2007, the Edwards for President campaign hired two bloggers, Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan. In their blogging, they had expressed views online that were markedly different from those of some conservatives. As a result, conservative pundits demanded that Sen. Edwards fire them.

... up with. Irrespective of my own doubts, I do plan to proceed. I'll just bank on the fact that if Amanda Marcotte can get published, anyone can get published... although her sales appear to have been low enough that one could still consider It's A Jungle Out There somewhere in the realm between "Confidential" and "Top Secret". In the meantime, let's all look at some pictures I took...

Amanda Marcotte differs with PZ Meyers over whether or not Kay Hagan has Thrown Atheists Under the Bus™ in her response to the now-infamous "There is no god!" ad from Liddy Dole. While my initial reaction certainly had some affinity with Meyers', my pragmatist-to-a-fault half agrees with Marcotte: At the risk of having my cranky credentials revoked, I’ll admit that my reaction...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdBt4f2GUDY Amanda Marcotte riffs on the video above, which is another exceptionally well done effort from the Obama propaganda video production shop. If women’s rights matter to you, remember who used air quotes (or “dick fingers”, as Jon Stewart calls them) when talking about the health of the mother as regards abortion rights, and who voted [...]

Amanda Marcotte and her crew at the RH Reality Check have produced one of their fun little videos on stem cell research and it’s a hoot. Stem cell research isn’t an issue that Marcotte touches on very often and it shows in the video. As is the case with some of the other videos, it’s hard to think Marcotte wins the debate against her strawman opponent. Some classic quotes...

Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon, talking about the discovery that female-dominant Bonobo chimpanzees seem to be just as violent as male-dominant Pan or standard Chimpanzees, lays out exactly why I think feminism is great for men, even as she demolishes some of the... um... old/transitional notions about gender and exceptionalism. Honestly, I’d be more surprised to find out that females are...
