Natalie Portman's Motherhood Shout-Out Gets Raves From This Feminist
By Joanne Bamberger - Politics DailyNatalie Portman has been getting flack for her Academy Awards acceptance speech for her role in "Black Swan." Not because of anything she said about the uber-psych-thriller role that won her the award or because of any Oscar night faux pas like forgetting to acknowledge her fellow Best Actress nominees. She's coming under fire for a speech that acknowledged her nascent motherhood as "the most important role" of her life, referring to her ever-growing pregnancy, which I must say was beautifully draped in a luscious plum-colored Rodarte gown that I wouldn't mind owning. Some women are ...
Stephen Colbert on Capitol Hill: Not Everyone's Laughing
By not in system - AOL News
Not everyone was laughing after Stephen Colbert's appearance on Capitol Hill. It's not at all unusual for a celebrity to advocate for a favored cause before Congress, but doing it "in character" -- in effect, putting on a show -- is another matter altogether. ...

'Formerly Hot': Is This What Happens to Women After 40?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyIn the economically happy Clintonite 1990s, a distinctive sort of genre fiction called chick lit surged across the land, topping bestseller lists and inspiring TV shows and films. It has yet to fade one bit. Chick lit, a term that came to define a genre led by Helen Fielding's "Bridget Jones" in 1996, celebrates modern women in humorous and lighthearted eye-candy prose as professionally successful or inventive, youngish, independent, sexually avaricious, shopaholic, nipped-and-tucked, trendsetter, sexy and perky and totally self-involved. In other words, look at Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the ...
Jeff and Susan Bridges: A Swooning Moment at the SAG Awards
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyI'm almost scared to acknowledge it, as if -- poof! -- two tender moments from the recent Screen Actors Guild Awards will vanish. Weeks of revelations about bad-boy husbands can make a blogger skittish, but here goes, my eyes closed, but still hoping. Jeff Bridges won best actor for his performance as country singer "Bad Blake" in "Crazy Heart," but when he honored his wife, Susan, he became more of the delectable, middle-aged heartthrob. During his acceptance speech, he called out to his wife from the audience and she responded with a wave (scroll to 4:30 mark for Susan's wave): My ...
No immigrant left behind?
By Eric Schulzke - Politics DailyImmigration officials have revised the 100 question checklist immigrants cram to pass their citizenship test. From that list of 100 questions, they are asked ten orally and have to get six right.The flaw in the No Child Left Behind project is that standardized tests lead to teaching to the test. There is soooo much that can't be tested that way, and the incentives all now skew against the immeasurables. Likewise, there is soooo much in the education of a new citizen that can't be formally taught or tested. ...
