The White House Memo of Mistaken Identity

by Victoria F. Skyrise

Can a famous building like The White House personally e-mail a complaint about the press corps and Obama's presidency? Part sci-fi nightmare & poli-sci comedy, is this unimaginable memo an object lesson in good government, or a disgruntled journalist's wicked satire? Answers lie in the elopement of Arianna Huffinpuff's voter card with Cruelle Paglia's...»

Night Of The Living Dead Fleas.

by Kathryn Cann
Night Of The Living Dead Fleas.

The undead are on the march in the sleepy town of Painesville Ohio tonight. Where this nightmare will end, no one knows. It starts with a simple itch, but this one won't scratch away. Before the hapless human victims realise it, they are infested with millions of the blood sucking micro - monsters.»

“Better Days” Soup : Recipe for A No-Sweat Weekend

“Better Days” Soup : Recipe for A No-Sweat Weekend

At the serious core of this satire are the main ingredients in a recipe for economic poison. If you're like millions of Americans, this weekend will find you either looking forward to relocation at a nicer, kinder homeless shelter, or catching a break after another dreary yet productive week of snail-mailing minimum-amount bill payments...»

Winning The Peace: The Obamazation of Our Nation

Winning The Peace: The Obamazation of Our Nation

Too bad the Nobel Peace Prize Committee can't connect the dots, follow the money, or plainly see Barack H. Obama in his true form: he is nothing but a corporatist, making empty promises of prosperity through security, a.k.a. Perpetual War for Empire & Profit. Forget about hoping for him to rescue us from the...»

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince – Film Review

by Kathryn Cann

Unfortunately the whole film seemed to rely on the premise that existing HP fans already knew the conclusion and this seemed to change the tone of the movie entirely. Despite being called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the film did not put any emphasis on exploring Harry, Ron and Hermiones' quest to find...»

The Sestet and the Sextrain

by Victoria F. Skyrise

Why be singin' the blues about WordPress when I should be snoggin' it like a kitten smitten with a valerian-flavoured mouse? After weighing the half-cocked "upgrade" measures of this software, bloggers like me along with our many fine freeware programmers have found WordPress wanting, for nothing less than a full upgrade at its foundation.»

Holding Back the Waves

by Victoria F. Skyrise

I don't number any "waves" of Feminism nor do I attempt to name each of them. Internationally, all the "waves" from "1st" through "4th" really began long ago and far away. Pick a year. Pick a place. A good feminist, on the other hand, is a woman for all seasons, a citizen of...»

Fourth Wave Feminism?

by Kathryn Cann
Fourth Wave Feminism?

somewhere along the way ... the "post feminist" world was defined for us, there are many in western society who genuinely believe that feminism has achieved its goals. Never mind the rape statistics, or the woman hate crimes, the misogyny in the media, both subtle and openly hostile ... feminism's work is far...»
