Men Without Guns: A Tribute to Larry McMurtry

…s basic. That part of the myth abides, and, while not pretty, is a kind of code of right masculinity. The note draws on a shorthand “WE SEE” regarding how Ennis is “exemplary.” You, we, can judge a man by how he treats “his animals” and, in this case, the animals he’s paid to keep alive. Ennis’s father had forced Ennis at age 9 to look at the body of a man dismembered alive, and he made sure Ennis knew why. Ennis and Jack each marry women not only…

Republican Scandals Drag Secretive ‘Family’ Into the Big Time

…eeper understanding of that noise during their long years in the cold. Populist fundamentalists recognized that the ostensibly moderate center excluded them, even suppressed their views, that the public square wasn’t so public after all; elitist fundamentalists saw that establishment liberalism wasn’t so liberal after all, either, and that at least two-thirds of their vision—free market fundamentalism and American imperialism—could be realized whe…

Texas Woman Opposes Divorce Citing ‘Blood Covenant’; Will Anti-Sharia Law Get in the Way?

…Texas Government Code), states that “litigants in actions under the Family Code involving a marriage relationship… are protected against violations of constitutional rights and public policy in the application of foreign law.” The bill doesn’t explicitly reference sharia or Islamic law (likely because a similar bill in Oklahoma that did specifically mention sharia was struck down as discriminatory in 2012). Nevertheless, the intent of H.B. 45 is c…

Alienating Even the Sadistic Trumpian Right, How Did Kristi Noem Miscalculate So Badly With Her Puppy Killing Story?

…’s animal killing proclamations don’t seem to have kicked her off the Veep-list yet—at least not officially, according to Trump himself, who dodged the question in an interview this week: “She had a rough couple of days. I will say that.” Pressed further, he seemed to imply that she’s not out of the running: “I like her a lot. I don’t want to comment on anybody on the list.” And Noem did spend the previous weekend at a Mar-a-Lago donor event. Then…

Gen Z’s Religious Affiliation Stats Are Confusing … But Only When Viewed From a Christian-Centric Perspective

…much about the limitations of the other options for “affiliation” on that list? And maybe even about the limitations of “affiliation” and “belief” in general? Here are three of those limitations. Practice, Practice, Practice. Say it with me: religion is less about what you believe than what you do. Indeed, when it comes to observing how something called “religion” shows up in the world, practice is all we have to go on. You cannot get inside some…

Religious Right Very Much Alive in Tomorrow’s Elections

…olls. After she endorsed Owens yesterday, the anti-choice Susan B. Anthony List promply used Scozzfava as Exhibit A for the further marginalization of moderate Republicans. “When a GOP candidacy is not based on fundamental conservative values, the party and the principles are inevitably betrayed and critical moments . . . . These principles are not only right, they are the path to electoral victory,” the group’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, s…

…t both include contraception. So is the salient difference the size of the list? Is there some number of things-this-paper-can-be-used-for that puts the employer at a safe moral distance from the act, where previously they had been complicit? If so, what’s the number?

We have every reason to believe the list of candidates will soon begin to bleed into the D-List world; then, it’ll only be a matter of time before Pete Davidson is dating the next or current Prime Minister (whoever it may be next week).

Apparently, feeding the poor and clothing the naked makes one a “heretic” in Grizzard’s book (don’t tell Jesus!). Fred Phelps didn’t make the list, so that should be a hint of just who Grizzard’s fellow believers might look like. On their website (NB: mute your computer unless your idea of a good time is Amazing Grace on an infinite loop), they encourage o…
