Calling All the Conservative Girls in DC
If you’re in DC this summer, don’t miss this opportunity for young (and young at heart) conservative women. On Friday, June 24, the Network of enlightened Women will hold their annual conference at the Heritage Foundation. This one-day event will feature Kate O’Beirne, author of Women Who Made the World Worse, and other opportunities to [...]
Read MoreBlogCon 2010
Friday, I had the pleasure of attending FreedomWork’s BlogCon, a new conference that pulled together around 175 conservative bloggers from throughout the country. Due to work and Junior League obligations on Thursday, I missed going to Hill and the opening reception. On Saturday, I ended up missing a Citizen’s United film premiere and more happy [...]
Read MoreGlenn Beck Rally Field Report
Today, I volunteered for the Restoring Honor rally hosted by Glenn Beck. Unlike the other rallies, protests and tea parties I’ve attended, this event was quite different. Last week, while I was lying in the hospital, I caught Glenn Beck on the O’Reilly Factor. Beck explained that this event would be non-political and very, very [...]
Read MoreWhy DC Reality Shows Suck
Surrounding the launch of Real Housewives of DC, The Washington City Paper examines why DC-based reality shows suck. Welcome to reality TV’s Washington: Wealthy women with Newsweek-grade opinions waxing soporific on the existential significance of a black president on Real Housewives; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dicing things up on Top Chef; twentysomethings pining progressive on [...]
Read MoreComin’ to Potomac Yard
Every time I run by Target or the grocery store at Potomac Yard, I wish that my church — National Community Church — had a location there. Since the mission of NCC is to meet at places of business in the DC area, it’s the perfect location. A few weeks ago, my prayers were answered. [...]
Read MoreThe Great DC Earthquake
Back in the 1980s, my elementary Weekly Reader predicted that “The Big One” earthquake would hit the Eastern US. Apparently, some major fault line is underneath the Mississippi River, and this spelled uncertain doom for half of the country. Perhaps it was the era of paranoia in America since it was the end of the [...]
Read MoreWell Played, Mrs. O
Michelle Obama has terrible taste. I’ve never attempted to hide my critiques of her fashion choices. On the rare occasion that she pulls it together, she looks amazing. While she’s an attractive woman, she makes bad choices, such as full skirts that draw attention to her hips. Mrs. O seems convinced that cinching her outfit [...]
Read MoreWhat are you doing for the Cure?
Cancer is a very real and scary thing in my family, particularly breast and ovarian cancer. When I give my medical history to new doctors, they usually stop writing about five minutes into it and just stare at me. It’s that bad, especially on my mom’s side. When the Susan G. Komen Foundation reached out [...]
Read MoreKagan Style or Why Business Suits are Always Awful
Just when you think everything that could be said about Elena Kagan has been said, the Washington Post goes for the fashion card. I’m not surprised. I anticipated an article coming out like this. I was just waiting to see if it would be the WaPo or Politico. The point of the article is to [...]
