Oops, you left some egg in your hair

It's just not as fun making fun of the conservative women calendar unless you do so from an explicitly feminist angle. So today Salon bit the bullet and did just that, putting one of their snappier writers, Rebecca Traister, to the task of making fun of this calendar. Even though it's only two pages long (some people I can think of could snark on it for a dozen and still be hilarious), she still pops off a handful of funny jokes.

Of course, there's not a small hint that Salon is wiping egg of its face, picking on Christina Hoff Sommers for this quote:

"It is unfashionable to say so but I will say it anyway: The energy, adventurousness, stoicism, and competitiveness of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world."

If you're bedding down a feminist-hating Bush voter, that's the sort of talk that works way better than a combo of Oxycontin and Viagra, ladies, so take note. Sommers popped that one out over drinks with George Will and Rush Limbaugh and when they pointed out that she dropped the words "white" and "straight" from their proper place modifying the word "male", she gasped and said that she couldn't put that quote in, because Salon will never call her back to bash other women again.

Of course, this Phyllis Schflay moment probably won't prevent Salon from embarrassing themselves again by bringing Sommers back to pen articles that are all variations on the idea that women shouldn't move forward until every single man on the planet is as wealthy and successful as he could have hoped to be, but that's not going to stop me from enjoying this moment.

And thank god they didn't get Charles Taylor to write about this calendar and how much better it would be if they just showed some skin.

Great blog on book internet marketing. I've stumbled on a superb money making website. Linkreferral is free to join and drives traffic to your website in an inivitive way (the more sites you visit, the more links you get back to your website.)

I've only been a member of Linkreferral for aproximately 2 weeks but I have already seen the volume of people coming to my site double - if not treble.

Linkreferral is not only driving visitors to my website but as a result my affiliate sales income has doubled also.

I really cannot push this website enough. It is free and it is fantastic!! www.linkreferral.com is a must for money making opportunities online.

Hi

Sorry to intrude but I saw your blog, noticed you have anonymous posting enabled and thought you might be interested in this great search engine optimization tool for your blog and website (if you have one) that a techi mate recommended to me. Apparently it's all the rage in the IT arena.

I am involved in money making scheme and I've found the best way of promoting my blogs and websites is The amazing link referral program. Don't worry it is absolutely free to join and you can generate visitors to your site by visiting others. It is really quick and easy to set up and the traffic you generate will help your website increase in google ranking. Give it a go now!!

I have generated amazing traffic from this program - increasing my affiliate sales and cannot recommend this enough. Believe me, if you have tried all the other programs on the market that you have had to pay for then you realise this one is the best - and it's free!!!

Best of luck with the blog!! I hope you get as much out of this program as I have ;-)

Hi matey

I'm sure it was this blog I was reading a while back where someone was looking for an SEO tool for driving more traffic and get more hits for their website.

Anyway, I was speaking to a techi guy at work who gets to know all the latest stuff and he uses the free Link Referral Program.

His website on promotion site strategy web amongst other stuff has seen traffic explode since he started using the Link Referral Program - consequently his affiliate sales commissions and business sales went through the roof PLUS his website increased in google ranking which was an added bonus!!

If anyone else has any good ideas for driving more traffic to blogs/websites then please share with your online business blog buddies. Ta ;-)
