“Babylon” »

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 [...]

Dirty Words and How They Feel On Clean Skin »

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 I would [...]

What A Contrast »

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. Roundball. We are [...]

Happy Anniversary »

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 [...]

Women’s Rights are Human Rights »

This Saturday, Juy 19, 2008, marks the 160th anniversary of the first Women’s Rights Convention that was held in Seneca Falls, NY on July 19, 1848. There are many events planned at the park, two of which honor Hillary. …………………………………… On March 25, 1911 a tragedy struck the city of New York that forever changed [...]

Totalitarian Tactics and an Illegitimate Nominee »

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, [...]

I Own My Vote – Sign The Pledge »

Preamble When you read the I Own My Vote Pledge, keep in mind that the demands it contains are not admissions of defeat, nor are they conditions precedent to your vote. Hillary’s campaign is only suspended, not ended. And only you can decide when your vote has been earned. Whether you are a PUMA activist, [...]

Dick Morris is Really A Woman, Right? »

I ask if Dick Morris is really a woman, because he seems to not only “know” exactly how women “think,” but he also knows exactly what they are thinking at all times! I have watched him emphatically ‘analyze’ what Hillary supporters are thinking on FOX, ad nauseum. He is so sure of himself, he surely [...]

A Family Fight or a License to Hate? »

So, Democrats, the media tells us we are in the midst of a “family fight.” To introduce myself and my family, I am a latte-drinking, white, college-educated progressive Democrat who, despite my demographic, supports Hillary Clinton. Maybe it is because I am also a woman over 45. My mother and my late father are “blue [...]

ACTION: Seventy-seven Cents »

When I was a kid I wore a lot of buttons (still do).  Anti-war buttons, campaign buttons, farmworker / boycott buttons, ERA buttons, “I read banned books” buttons, “Question authority” buttons, anti-nuclear power buttons … you name it, I had it in my collection, and I wore them with pride. One of my buttons was [...]

Dear Sen. Obama (from an African-American woman) »

Susan’s Note: Chastity sent this letter to me, and I found it so powerful that I asked her permission to share it with all of you. She agreed, and I’m honored to post this. _______________________________ Dear Senator Obama: My name is Chastity and I’m a 33-year-old African-American woman. I was deeply saddened and disturbed by [...]
