1. She reminds me of my mother.
2. She kind of reminds me of my mother-in-law.
3. She reminds me of myself actually.
4. She’s ballsy. She stood up to all the mean girls who trashed her and the perverts who made pornography of her and the media who mocked her. She did it with grace, complete sentences (unlike our current resident moron) and with HUMOR and a big wide smile on her face.
5. She refuses to stay in the box society made for her. In fact, she pretends there is no box.
6. She believes in God and she …read more

Am I the only one who would like to take a break from outrage and moral indignation?
Yes, there is injustice in the world.
True, George W. Bush is a bad mother-bleeper who needs to go sit on a ranch and think about what he’s done for a while.
Yes, there are still homophobics in California. They love marriage and monogamy so much they don’t want to share it.
There are also gays in California and some of them want to get married so they can have all the legal rights and responsibilities marriage provides.

And yes, there is a crazy …read more

We left the party and sent the kids to bed last night when we were sure of the election outcome.

Obviously, I’m thrilled that my children will have a fundamental mood in the country, and from their leaders, be one of optimism rather than fear.

Forget fear people. It will do nothing to empower anyone.

I’m going to soak it in today. Optimism and hope taste a hell of a lot better than fear and anger as an American Sentiment.

My daughter is as thrilled to wake to a world of Barack Obama even though her friends’ parents tell them that “Obama is a …read more

Tomorrow is Election Day.

I’m the Alternate Election Judge in my precinct. I’m can’t wear campaign paraphernalia – but, I will be wearing dog tags bearing the name of a real woman who never had the right to vote. This has been a banner year for women – all women – and I salute both parties and all people for the participation of women we’ve seen in 2008.

Let there NEVER, EVER be another election without the female half of this country being represented on a Presidential Ticket. That’s my fervent prayer.

I’ll be at my polling place to make sure the Republican …read more

What We Could Have Done with the Money: 50 Ways to Spend the Trillion Dollars We’ve Spent on Iraq, by Rob Simpson looks like it’s worth reading.

For only $9.95 you could buy a book that examines how short sighted your government has been by going to war with Iraq.

I myself have just been thinking – we could have developed all the energy technology we need right now over the last 6 years of the war, if we were only willing to spend the money here instead of fighting Iraqis for their oil (and don’t pretend our international “security” policy isn’t …read more

Maybe you haven’t spend a few hours on the Internet surfing for Political Action Figures, but I have.

In our collection we have a Talking Bill Clinton Barbie, Rosie the Riveter Action Figure, A giant Bobble Head of George Bush – he’s not supposed to say stupid things, but he does quote himself so it’s a freaking riot.

It’s not uncommon to see Bill Clinton hanging out with Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray in the Pink Bug I got at a garage sale.

I TOLD my husband we shouldn’t let the kids play with them. They are collectors items. Now Bill Clinton has no …read more

biographies.

John McCain loves war. He writes so romantically of war and fighting
that I believe he’s looking to be a great war general. He doesn’t think
there’s anything heroic or honorable …read more

No one cares about your personal beliefs Sarah.

The questions are referring to whether you would pass laws that would hold US to your beliefs.

That’s what we have a right to know.
