Looking for a last minute stocking stuffer for your conservative friends, or dartboard fodder for those on the left? Online magazine Salon yesterday pointed us to a great option — the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute’s 2005 Great American Conservative Women calendar.
On the heels of last year’s Babes Against Bush calendar comes this new entry into the glutted calendar market, featuring prominent conservative women like Dr. Laura, a machine-gun packing Shemane Nugent, Secretary of State nominee Condoleeza Rice, and “How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)” author Ann Coulter. The calendar is available for a (tax deductible) $25 donation to the Policy Institute, whose goals are
to take conservative ideas to young women, mentor them into effective leaders, and make parents preeminent in the education of their children…. we give young women hands-on training in countering radical feminism and fighting for conservative principles. We help educate and motivate mainstream Americans who are tired of leftist and radical feminist propaganda and promote positive conservative role models for women at home and at work.
The institute is also giving the calendar out for free to servicewomen and at their campus events.
DCist wonders what the policy institute’s position is on its namesake’s more interesting quotes, such as “Censorship, like charity, should begin at home; but, unlike charity, it should end there,” or the more controversial “We wouldn’t want everyone doing too much of a good thing,” reportedly said in favor of LSD use by the elite. The institute chooses a different epigram from Luce for its January page: “Do one thing well. You can have it all, but you will be very tired.”
