You know…Oliver Willis, one of the bloggers that were invited to blog from the Democratic National Convention.
Don’t get me wrong. In general I like Oliver and his writing. I’ve been reading him for about 6 months, and like his political style enough that I can overlook his obsession with the Washington Redskins.
However, the thing I [...]

Today is the 5th anniversary of a war that most of us never wanted and are still fighting against.
Today, let us take a moment to sit in our safe peace here in the US and remember those who have lost their lives to this ill advised, misbegotten mess. Let us remember the soldiers that have [...]

Things like this make me absolutely, batshit crazy! There’s an underlying assumption here that if you don’t support Hillary Clinton, then you must be a bad feminist.
Let me tell everyone out there, the reason I’m not supporting Clinton has nothing to do with our misogynistic, patriarchal society. I’m absolutely thrilled that a woman [...]

I don’t usually get too political on this blog, but today I am.
The Senate has passed the bill providing an extension to the warrantless wiretapping and providing immunity to the telecommunications companies that provided information to the government illegally!
Write to your Congressman and make clear that you do not want the House passing the same [...]

I’m already slacking on my resolution to post here more, but I have a good excuse. I’ve been down with the flu all week, and let me tell you, it’s a nasty strain this week. That’s why I haven’t posted this little gem for you yet.
Obama’s Iowa Victory Speech
I’m so thrilled with the [...]

I knew I forgot something I wanted to say! The coordinator for the local campaign for Barack Obama came by last night and we redid the website. I’m actually quite proud of it, especially considering we finished it in about 2 hours *laughs*. Well, I’d been working on the template off and on for a [...]

I’ve been trying since Friday night to figure out what to say about the event…seeing Barack Obama in person! How can I convey the sense of wonder…of optimism…of hope….the sense of great responsibility that he conveyed to we who were listening to him.

See, everytime I start blasting Republicans, a few of them step up and remind us that not all Republicans are alike. I tell you, I’d still vote for the man, Republican or not. He’s a man of conscience, and we haven’t seen that in the White House in a long, long time.
