A pissing contest like no other: My encounter with Rick Scott
(07/07/11 12:09am)
Last Thursday, my good buddy/managing editor/the-man-who-has-the-sense-to-never-let-me-run-a-Muhammad-cartoon Joey Flechas and I drove down to St. Petersburg for the annual Florida Press Association convention.

Essentially, it's like the Republican National Convention with the exception that there's a limit to how much free booze you can guzzle.

In defense of the word 'feminist'
(04/01/11 10:31pm)
In my first post, I wrote about the negative stigma attached to feminism. But it's recently become clear to me how often people have problems with the actual word itself, sometimes more so than its meaning. The label "feminist" really seems to rub people the wrong way -- so much so that replacements are often used that don't mean the same thing at all.
