Sunday and Monday are the 161st Anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention, the first Women’s Rights Convention. As a refresher, here is a bit of history on that auspicious occasion:
The seed for the first Woman’s Rights Convention was planted in 1840, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton met Lucretia Mott at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London, [...]

Well, Obama got back to Washington, DC after his long weekend away in Chicago. Then he went wheels up to go to Denver, CO to sign the $787 billion dollar Porkulus bill. Why Denver? Because CO was SO helpful to him during the Campaign, and that’s where he got to play Greek [...]

The old DNC - nothing new here. The GLBT community continues to be treated like the proverbial red-headed stepchild. I bring this up because of the following comment left at my blog the other day:
Thank God I found your blog! I feel like I’ve been living a real life version of invasion [...]

Yes, it seems that the chickens are starting to come home to roost for some Obama worshippers, uh, I mean, supporters. Those of us using the analytical portion of our brains knew that Obama’s hype was too good to be true, but apparently, these workers for Obama are learning a harsh reality - he [...]

Washington D.C. speechwriter Wendy Button aptly says So Long, Democrats, in her piece appearing in The Daily Beast. Ms. Button has written for Senators John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, as well as other national and international leaders. She really tells the ‘new’ Democratic Party where to go. Her words [...]

This weekend in St. Louis, Barack Obama attracted an estimated 100,000 people to a rally near the Arch grounds. I am wondering how many of those adoring throngs would be in the fold if they understood, really understood, that he had stolen the nomination from Hillary Clinton by committing massive caucus fraud, threatening the delegates [...]

(The following is a guest post, originally posted in Heidi Li’s Potpourri, an independent progressive blog. Heidi Li is a founder of The Denver Group, about which Medusa wrote an important story last night, featuring the Group’s impressive new video ad.)

Yesterday, we published an interview with Marc Rubin, co-founder of The Denver Group. We discussed the offshoot watchdog organization that he and Prof. Heidi Li Feldman have formed: Democrats For Principle Before Party, designed with the goal of taking back the Democratic Party from corrupt elements that pushed Senator Obama’s nomination. Marc’s [...]

In the face of some powerful Democratic fundraisers/supporters of Senator Clinton and even Democratic legislators now boldly endorsing Senator McCain, it is clear that the wheels may be coming off the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Dean/Brazile bandwagon. That people would abjectly refuse to support the Presidential nominee and, you should pardon the expression, start batting for the other [...]

Judging by both press and internet commentary this past week, we seem to want Hillary to literally assume the mantle of Joan of Arc once again …
Some want her out front and center railing against sexism to defend Sarah Palin:
‘Hillary’s legacy is in jeopardy! She is not living her principles! After what she [...]

They say you will never know what your principles are until they become inconvenient to you.
Well, my principles have officially become inconvenient. Still, I find that I just cannot stand in lock step with a Party I consider to be hopelessly corrupt: a Party that conducted a phony roll call and cut [...]

Well, you got what you wanted: after 19 months of the most grueling campaign in history, we are left with a celebrity candidate of no qualifications whatsoever and the public at large doesn’t know any more about him now than the day he began. And we have the mainstream media to thank. [...]

Will the media ask questions about the Obama-Ayers relationship and its beginnings before 1995, when Ayers helped arranged the hiring of Obama as head of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and maintained a close relationship of its board for years?
Here are some questions the media should be asking and did not ask throughout the long primary [...]

The Republican Party has been kind enough to clarify dress code concerns for those attending tomorrow night’s appearance by The One before his subjects. Aren’t they great guys? Do you not look forward to voting for their candidate? I mean when was the last time you saw a sense of humor come out of the [...]

Hello? Excuse me? Pssst… The Senator is running for President, not a Grammy.
A miniature Greek Temple to accept the nomination for President of the United States? And that is supposed to help us regular folk relate to Obama how?

Well, I just busted my Popeil’s Disgust-O-Meter because too much bile came out of my throat all at once and sent the needle through the roof.
I have long been a fan of General Wesley Clark and appreciated his early and very strong endorsement of Hillary Clinton, our rightful nominee. He worked very hard for [...]

Well, big whoop de doo. Obama has been declared Emperor of the Democratic Party. Great. Tonight, he’ll don his toga, rise up onto the stage of his Temple, and speak to the minions, bestowing his gaze upon them…
Okay, I have to stop before I throw up. Here’s the thing. Obama “won” the Democratic nomination through [...]

Will he show up wearing a toga to match the fake Greco-Roman temple? Will they fly him in from the roof, like that guy in the Opening Ceremony in Beijing? Or maybe the stadium will be transformed into a cathedral of light, à la Albert Speer?
Whatever happens tonight with Senator Obama’s speech, we’ll [...]
