I choose hear a young woman, caught in the weird years between playing with dolls and going to prom, gathering the collected wisdom of her life so far: storybook morals (“Every inch of you is perfect…”), pop culture (“I’m bringing booty back”), and parental advice (“Yeah my mama she told me…”),and turning it into her own words and her own moral-of-the-story, “I’m all about the bass.”

This trailer is for a movie about a woman’s decision to pursue “courtship” instead of dating in order to find a husband and how her “spiritual parents” help her do this when her natural parents won’t. If you’re unfamiliar with … Continue reading
Misunderstood Labels
I had an argument with my husband while we were dating. We were watching the news and some talking head had called a politician “liberal.” He groaned about such an epithet being thrown around a candidate he liked. “An epithet? … Continue reading

Can You Spot the Bad Business Model Here?

March for Life, Maybe, But Not Truth
Today is the March for Life, a mostly religiously impelled protest against abortion (and occasionally on various kinds of euthanasia) in D.C.. In honor of all the women and men who are hurt by the false-witness and libel that this … Continue reading
