MODERN JOURNALISM – AT 7:37 A.M. ET:  I kid you not.  This headline, and sub-headline, actually appear in the online edition of today's New York Times:

Makeup, and Feminist Guilt, at 13

A girl wants to wear make-up. Her mother wants her
to understand that wearing make-up is both a personal
and a political choice.

COMMENT:  Wha?  A political choice?  The Times is back in the 1960s, and lovin' it.  The recent attack on Ann Romney by a high Democratic activist illustrates that those whom the Times supports are also living in the world of tie-died jeans, anti-war fever, and fantasies about "oppression."

The left calls itself progressive.  It is actually regressive.  And let's let 13-year-old girls grow up without believing that every move they make is political.
