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, [...]

When Peter Daou writes, I read. As many of you know, Peter Daou headed Hillary Clinton’s campaign Web site and her site’s blog operations. I always admired Peter’s attempts to post at Daily Kos (one of his countless tasks), where he was cruelly torn apart for supporting Hillary. But he kept on, hoping [...]

Here’s one for the feminists. It’s another tongue-in-cheek song from my musical $ucce$$! (now seeking a Broadway home). The song is sung by an Irish-Latino character named Juanita Fitzgerald. The lyrics are as follows:

This is a bit of a followup to my post, “Some Celebration,” on the issues women face here and abroad. Once again, H/T to cheneywatch.com for alerting me to this video.
Yesterday, I wrote of Afghanistan, Iraq, and the US. Today, it is India:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice, “I think about how much we owe to the women who went before us - legions of women, some known but many more unknown. I applaud the bravery and resilience of those who helped all of us - you and me - to be here today.”

As you all may know, March is Women’s History Month, and Sunday, March 8th, is celebrated as International Women’s Day, first celebrated in 1911! I can think of no better way to celebrate it then by presenting the following video of one of the Top 100 Speeches of the Twentieth Century, First Lady Hillary [...]

Sarah Palin has become my new hero. While I don’t agree with some of her political positions, I love that she is unapologetically herself. And she is a REAL feminist, representing many of us who don’t toe the line of some definition of what that is. The so-called “progressives,” men and women alike, don’t [...]

Yes, today is the 88th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment “giving” women the right to vote. And to celebrate this auspicious occasion, Barack Obama chose to have two men, one who is anti-choice (that is, does not believe a woman has the right to choose what to do with her own body), [...]

Dear Goddess, I am SO pissed off today. Why you might ask? Well, take a look at this. I’ll wait: The 2008 Convention: Tuesday, August 26th – Renewing America’s Promise
Okay - what did you see? As promised, Hillary Clinton will be speaking - among 274 other people. Okay - not really that many, but [...]

When I awoke the morning of June 4, 2008, I thought I would be bitterly disappointed. After all, the nominating contest between Senators Clinton and Obama had been decided the night before by a march of cowardly Super Delegates, bowing to pressure from the party leadership to forcibly shut down the process. Surely [...]

So Barack Obama is finally making his highly touted trip abroad. What does he do when he is on his way to Afghanistan, the country about which he could not be bothered to actually hold a meeting as Chair of the Senate’s Subcommittee on European Affairs (and NATO)? He plays basketball. Hoops. [...]

Today marks the 160th anniversary of the Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention (two events today honor Hillary Clinton). Susan B. Anthony, one of the most renowned women from that time said, “It was we, the people, not we, the white male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.” Amen, sister!
We’ve certainly come [...]

Neither the main stream media nor the Democratic Party nor even the Obama campaign itself has come to terms with the damage Obama’s tactics have done to our Party. The damage was facilitated by the media and the big blogs.
Obama’s first task was controlling the media. Politicalcenter writes:
Taking their cue from totalitarian regimes, Obama developed [...]
