You Won't Do Nothing As She Keeps On Cutting 'Cause You Know You Love The Knife
Welcome to The Stiletto, an eponymous blog about politics and other stuff. Plus, whatever makes The Stiletto laugh so hard the martini she’s sipping comes out her nose.
You've noticed that, like Bob Dole, The Stiletto refers to herself in the third person. No reason, other than it seems to annoy liberals.
The Stiletto comes from a broken home. Not broken in the commonly understood sense, but broken in the red state-blue state sense.
Like many Americans, The Stiletto’s family is a mixed bag: Multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic, multinational, ecumenical, and includes members who are gay (in-laws, but still).
The Stiletto loves them all – albeit, at a distance in election years – so anyone who disagrees with her opinions had better refrain from recklessly lobbing accusations of racism, homophobia, jingoism or imperialism.

Here are examples of material in which The Stiletto is especially interested:
† Not The Sharpest Knife In The Drawer: Idiotic or irrational actions or utterances, by politicians, celebrities and everyday people.
† On The Cutting Edge: Fresh insight on contentious issues. Also, any cool techie thing that would appeal to The Stiletto's inner geek.
† The Daily Blade: News and current events, sharpened by a snarky, clever, punning or witty headline.
† Penetrating Insights: Common knowledge, typically delivered with breathless earnestness by celebs or self-help publications.
† What a Heel!: Cads, oafs and politicians behaving badly.
† Goody Two Shoes: Holier-than-thou, politically correct types admonishing the rest of us while exempting themselves from their own standards of conduct. Also, examples of media
hypocricy.
† If The Shoe Fits: Bone-headed, painfully obvious or overly specific advice on matters of health, wealth and life in general.
† In My Shoes: "Slice of life" stories. Also, how a particular event, issue, policy, vote, court decision, etc. affects a specific person or community.
Readers may come across a typo from time to time. The Stiletto is very appreciative when readers point out grammatical or spelling errors - as well as outdated links.
The Stiletto typically writes late at night, and may transpose letters in words or accidentally delete or duplicate a word or two when making quick edits by copying, cutting and pasting text. Alas, poofreading is not her strong suit.
Whenever typos, grammatical errors or outdated links are brought to The Stiletto's attention, she endeavors to make the necessary changes as soon as possible.
If the nature of the error is factual, she will note that a corrective revision has been made and will cite the reason in an Editorial Note following the post.
