Melissa McEwan, Ted Rall

Hustler magazine ran a satire of a conservative columnist simulating a sex act using free speech as a defense, further denigrating women. Melissa McEwan, progressive feminist and founder of Shakesville tells us what she thinks. Then later, Ted Rall revisits the rapid rise and dizzying fall of Obama–and concludes that we lied to ourselves, about the president and the two-party system in The Book of Obama.
