by Shifra on June 9, 2015Manspreading: The practice of sitting in public transport with legs wide apart, thereby covering more than one seat.

The ‘Obama Legacy?’ WH Now Has A Gender-Neutral Bathroom
by Shifra on April 9, 2015Finally, an Executive Order POTUS can be proud of. Via Politico: Latest White House feature: Gender-neutral restroom President Barack Obama’s staff and visitors now have the option of using a gender-neutral restroom, a White House spokesman said Wednesday — the latest in a series of symbolic steps the Obama administration has taken to work the priorities of the LGBT community into its broader themes of inclusiveness and tolerance.

Lucille Ball’s Hometown Hates “Lucy”
by Shifra on April 6, 2015Well, they don’t really hate Lucy. Just the creepy statue. Via Washington Times: Lucille Ball statue freaks out hometown; residents want ‘monster’ replaced Residents of Lucille Ball’s hometown in upstate New York town are organizing fundraisers to remove a “frightening” looking bronze statue of the “I Love Lucy” actress. The 400-pound-life-size bronze statue was erected in 2009 after being privately commissioned.

Get Rid of this Statue” to organize online fundraising efforts to replace the statue…. “I think it looks like a monster. That is just my opinion,” the Facebook group founder said. “When you see...

Microaggressions, Cool Whip, and Princeton
by Shifra on January 20, 2015The chat room is one of the many perks of being a subscriber to Tammy Radio (What? You have not yet joined the Tammy Army? Click here now!) There, a group gathers during the live Tammy Radio show, for some Independent Conservative camaraderie. But, after hearing about academia’s current focus on microaggressions, I have begun to worry: Is our chat room name for Karl Rove “(Ham-head”) offensive to Muslims? (And yes, I am guilty of once referring to Nancy Pelosi as “Piglosi.”) Does Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s hair need to be off-limits? What about referring to Hillary as “Cankles” ? Is this sexist? Should I have been offended when someone called me their favorite New Yawker? And, Boehner as “Orangeman” – racist...

Must-See Video: “If I Wanted America To Fail…”
by Tammy on April 22, 2012**Promoted from the TAM Wire. Posted by TAM Dilvish** Great video from FreeMarketAmerica.org highlighting all the things someone would do if they wanted America to fail. Weird, it all also happens to be the things Obama and his regime are doing. It’s a great illustration of the damage Obama, and the liberal agenda in general, is doing to the country and exactly how dangerous it really is.

International Yarn Bombing Day June 11
by Pat_S on June 7, 2011Depending on your point of view it is either another form of art or another form of vandalism. It has the world in stitches. Instead of chalk or paint, public objects—fences, statues, mail boxes, etc.—are covered with yarn. The fiber artists as they are called even improve on nature with tree cozies. It isn’t just for hippie grandmas. June 11 is the First International Yarn Bombing Day. Yarn bombing: Graffiti’s cozy, feminine side The bronze statue of Rocky near the Philadelphia Museum of Art irked Jessie Hemmons. She found the statue too big, too macho and too touristy, so last month Hemmons, a 24-year-old artist, bombed him. With pinkish yarn. “Street art and graffiti are usually so male dominated,” Hemmons...

You Go To Your Church And IHOP To Mine
by Pat_S on December 30, 2010A post by Pat The restaurant chain International House of Pancakes dropped its IHOP trademark infringement lawsuit against the International House of Prayer. The restaurant claimed it might confuse customers and link the church with the restaurant chain. Well, maybe customers would get confused considering how the restaurant chain imitates a church. Aside from the fact that people have been known to enter raptures of ecstasy at the International House of Pancakes, consider this. The restaurant’s National Pancake Day is scheduled to coincide with Shrove Tuesday. Families gathering at the restaurant that day are encouraged to make offerings to aid the sick. The land of buttermilk and honey even turns to a crowned heavenly personage to bring about miracles. The...
