MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is finding out that President Obama is not such an advocate of gay rights, after all. The funny thing is that Rachel couldn’t see through Obama all along. Now, she is complaining because the President msnbc helped get elected, pined over, and well, hell, got all tingly over, defended the Defense of [...]

Howard Dean reacts to being told he has no shot at being the new head of HHS
Barack Obama would not be where he is today without Howard Dean. The former Vermont Governor and DNC Chairman created the blueprints that David Axelrod would expand upon to garner the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination for [...]

For those of you who don’t know this golf term, it’s a do-over. It’s allowed between friends when something ruins what should have been a decent shot. Like maybe a loud noise during your back-swing. So the distraction or other accidental occurrence causes you to blow the shot. You ask for a Mulligan, and your [...]

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 [...]

At a Presidential Election Analysis forum at Smithsonian Associates, Howard Dean finally found some grit and an earnest attitude on the “untold story” of sexism in this presidential campaign. [H/T cameoanne at Partizane.com for offering up this video in her great post, Too Little, Too Late.] And she sure got the title right.
Now [...]

Whoopsie—The Democratic National Committee’s hood ornament got ..er..unscrewed and bounced into the street. Of course, it was loosened up a long while back when the DNC moved itself mostly to Chicago two months before the Democratic Convention. That right there tells you a lot about the DNC. (I think the “D” should [...]

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 look [...]

Did I miss while out of the country, anything?? Everything has just been humming along while I was out snorkeling with the fish in Grand Cayman, I assume - no big Congressional issues, or Must See tv??

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 [...]

Years ago, when we still lived in a 30 unit building, a next door neighbor blithely left her apartment with something burning on the stove. I was drying my hair in the bathroom, my husband was working out to music. We didn’t hear anything. We didn’t smell the smoke. But we [...]

Poor Harry Reid. Poor Nancy Pelosi. They had those BIG dollar signs in their eyes whenever they gazed on their big new cash cow Barack Obama. They imagined the millions and millions he’d rake in, not just for his own race, but to finance all of their Senate and House races. That [...]

Whether or not Ed O’Reilly, criminal defense attorney, former lobsterman, fireman and all-around salt of the earth, can defeat the arrogant, elitist Junior Senator John Kerry in this Tuesday’s primary, I have to take a moment to make some noise on behalf of this man. I deeply appreciate his effort. Apparently, I’m not [...]

One of the arguments many Obama supporters made against Hillary was that she did not support Howard Dean’s 50-state strategy. Obama embraced the 50-state strategy to garner the support of the netroots and other activists. In a mydd diary posted this January, Obama, with his usual humility, was quoted as saying:
I think that we’re shifting [...]

I had an interesting conversation today with a Democratic member of Congress who called to chat about the campaign.
This man is someone I’m proud to call a friend. He’s a serious person and a great patriot with a wicked sense of humor. He’s not a buffoon, a bot or a tool. [...]

One Half of the famous fowl-mouthed Fowler couple offers an apology. We’re still waiting for one from the other half. You know, her husband Pat Robertson, the guy who thinks a hurricane during the Republican convention was a special gift to him from God.
