Jessica Valenti, founder of the vaguely pornographic sounding Feministing.com, has decided that there is no such thing as virginity in America’s young girls and the Today Show is entirely pleased with itself to give her a national TV venue from which to say so. Never mind how silly it all sounds.

On April 22 Valenti and Today pushed the idea that sexually active girls should not be thought of as a problem, that an expectation of virginity is harmful, and that religion is a baneful influence on young women today. Valenti says that if young men can have their sexual exploits given a wink and a nod, then so should the sexual activity of young girls.

Naturally, being a good left-wing, feminist, Valenti draws all the wrong conclusions and advocates all the worst solutions to address the real problems in American society. Just as naturally, NBC gives a legitimate stage for her absurd proclamations and ill-thought-out prescriptions.

I suppose it is nothing more mundane than that our northern neighbor has succumbed to the same sort of nihilism that western culture in general is slouching toward.

The mainstream media’s Obamamania reaches a new, much lower, level.

The New York Times “Domestic Disturbances” blogger, Judith Warner, writes about dreams of illicit sex with President Obama - not just hers, but also a number of her female friends:

The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I
needed to get into the bathroom to shave my legs. . . .

Watch Sean Hannity and Bernard Goldberg discuss this latest chapter of Obamamessiah in the following video:

What happened to the “The Gray Lady,” which once was regarded as a national newspaper of record? Is there no lower limit to what the financially-troubled Times will allow in an effort to attract readers? How pathetic.
