Vanessa at Feministing rightly mocks this piece in “Men’s News Daily” (the e-zine for those who think WND is too “librul”) urging wealthy conservatives to pull an Olin Foundation and will all their money to “men’s rights” groups. (Yeah, I know. Typical right-wing martyrdom complex focused on the half of the human population with a Y chromosome.)

However, I felt it necessary to point out this little feature of the article that smacks of Mafia tactics:

Therefore, you real men who might die in the next 10 years (you could be hit by a truck) have an obligation to leave serious funds to men’s rights organizations that can do battle with the above-mentioned juggernaut. Please go change your last will and testament today (tomorrow if it is after 5PM when you read this).

You mooks best pay up on the protection money. Stuff can happen. Y’know what I’m sayin’?

Creepy.

I received this in my e-mail inbox today (along with the gallons of spam that have been coming to me via my alumni account). It’s from Episcopal pastor Tom Ehrich, via his personal website, On A Journey. Unfortunately, you have to subscribe to get his weekly columns, but I thought this one was good enough to post the whole thing below the fold. I’ll highlight the parts I especially liked in bold.

Name Three Characteristics of Today’s Prototypical Conservative.*

These are also going to be the topics of my next three posts, once I get back from Drinking Liberally tonight.
