Dear Friend:

We just posted a great web exclusive by our political editor, Ruth Conniff. It's called "Denigrating Women Who Change Diapers." Conniff takes issue with philosopher Linda Hirshman, who says that "Ph.D.s who are wiping butts" are "horrible" and "immoral." Conniff explains how offensive that comment is to a whole range of people. "This is the sort of thinking that gives feminism a bad name," says Conniff. Please share this with the young mothers and fathers you know, whether they have Ph.D.s or not.

I've been reading Bush's rhetoric these days and am amazed that he gets away with the fascism and communism comparisons to terrorism. In "Bush Wheels Out Lenin and Stalin," I try to unpack some of the fallacies there.

And our managing editor, Amitabh Pal, discusses recent changes at Time magazine, and what they tell us about the direction of the mainstream media.

I hope you enjoy these offerings.

Sincerely,

Matthew Rothschild
Editor, The Progressive

P.S. And if you're at Fighting Bob Fest in Baraboo, Wisconsin this Saturday, September 16, at the Fairgrounds, please stop in the display tent and say hi. I'll be staffing The Progressive's table most of the day, when I'm not introducing Tom Harkin and co-hosting a panel on peace.
