david letterman apologizes, and maher makes desperate cry for attention »

David Letterman is still feeling the heat for his jokes attacking the Palin daughters, and finally decided to do the right thing, and apologize. And no, he didn’t apologize last week. He made excuses and covered his buttocks. There is a web site called firedavidletterman.com that is organizing a rally to be held outside of [...]

More On The Soldier And The Doctor »

I saw the post linked below at memeorandum.com, and wanted to share it with you. Before that, though, let me just say that I have absolutely nothing against Muslims, or Islam. Islam, like most other world religions, gets a bad rap from its more fanatical fringe practitioners. The majority of Muslims are not rabid fundamentalists [...]

“We’re Becoming A Puritanical Society” »

The other day, I wrote a post about Proposition 8 being upheld by the California Supreme Court. In response to that post, faithful reader, SFIndie, made this comment, which I want to share with you here. She does, in fact, live in San Francisco, and knows whereof she speaks. Anyway, I thought it particularly good, [...]

Well, Golly Gee, Anne, That Will Learn Him! »

As in Anne Hathaway, an actress I actually like, and one whose movies I have seen (yes, both Princess Diaries – what’s your point??!). She has taken such a strong stand, I am sure you will agree, on an important issue. Oh, yes – I am talking, of course, about her decision to NOT turn [...]

A Matter of Degrees »

No matter where you fall on the Israel/Gaza issue, and I know people have strong feelings on both sides, two events this past weekend are disturbing. They are disturbing because we have been down this road before. And this is a road down which we never want to go again, not Israel, not Palestine, not [...]

If This Is A Feminist… »

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and that [...]

Oh, Cry Me A River… »

Barney Frank. (bumped up by Susan) Now, I freely admit, up front, that when I lived in Massachusetts some time ago, I voted for Frank, more than once. At that time, he was not one of the Old Boys Club, he was not an establishment guy. He sure as heck is NOW, as he has [...]

It Takes A Special Kind Of Person… »

To attack a place of worship. That is just what someone, or someones, did on Friday, Dec. 12, 2008, when they set fire to the Wasilla Bible Church in Wasilla, AK: And they did a substantial amount of damage, over $1 million. What is more, people were actually inside the church at the time the [...]

HATE–The Ugliest Four-Letter-Word »

“HATE” is the ugliest four letter word. We have seen way too much of it displayed during the last 18 months. I’m not talking about criticizing candidates on their policies, actions, decisions, or experience, so long as the content isn’t made up of whole cloth. Lively debate is not always polite. I’m talking about blatant [...]

Misogyny was the central narrative of the Obama campaign »

(image from Post Secret) The image above was posted on Post Secret on November 8, 2008. I have no doubt that the dominate narrative of this campaign — the forceful suppression of women — is responsible for the author’s “secret.” In the Obama-realm, feminism isn’t just bad, it’ll ruin your life. One only need to [...]

Open Thread »

Just a thought: Have any of the rest of you gotten so that when Fox News reports on Casey Anthony*, you’re anxious to hear the latest? I’m laughing out loud. No, it’s a fleeting thing, honestly! I assure you! But it’s kind of a relief after all those endless days of polls and analyses and [...]

ATTN LGBT VOTERS: Barack Obama Is a Triangulating Homophobe »

How else does one explain the following? Obama told MTV he believes marriage is “between a man and a woman” and that he is “not in favor of gay marriage.” At the same time, Obama reiterated his opposition to Proposition 8, the California ballot measure which would eliminate a right to same-sex marriage that the [...]

if it’s not hate, what is it? »

I read this article, Sarah Palin’s a Brainiac, and I wanted to share it, because I really liked it. Trying to do a write up about it, I kind of veered somewhere I didn’t intend to go. Once I start writing, I never know where I wll end up…. The writer, Elaine Lafferty, was discussing [...]

The Secrets of Capt. Fumio Nakahira Or Why I’m Leaving the Democratic Party but Keeping my Principles »

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” — Elie Wiesel It’s clear to many Democrats that a radical clique has taken control of the Party. Democratic ideals once held to be sacrosanct, including freedom of speech, one person one [...]

(UPDATED) A Dangerous Mixture of Lies and Omissions: Obama, Ayers, Wright and Farrakhan »

[This essay was originally published in June and titled The Birth of Whitey: Black Liberation Theology and The Nation of Islam. This piece was written by Medusa and Bud White] The recent, reluctantly released papers from Obama’s time as head at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) and his time on the board of the Woods [...]
