That quote is, by far, my favorite response that I’ve encountered so far by any woman to the choice by McCain of Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential nominee. Posted here:
One of the women in my office who is an independent type saw right through it. Saw it for the cynical move it is. She [...]

Hats off to Hillary

For anyone who has been following this blog at all, you know I’m no Hillary fan. But AFAIC, she blew the socks off the whole shebang last night at the DNC convention. I’ve never seen her more masterful. And I’m more than willing to congratulate and thank her for her contribution at the DNc convention. [...]

Alas, Life just doesn’t want to let me have enough time to do justice to this blog. Even so, there’s no end of material, and sometimes I just have to make an opportunity to address things here.
Today, DUer known as zulchzulu just had to go and ruin an otherwise fine idea with a bit of [...]

Dear Cenk –
I am not exactly a fan, but could be. I’m not a fan mainly because I haven’t been that exposed to TYT though I’ve been watching more and more YouTube clips which come to my attention since I lurk several hours each day at DU (democraticunderground.com) where the links are often posted.
I was [...]
I have a baaad feeling about this John Edwards thing
Posted in Uncategorized on August 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The media exploitation of this situation is beyond disgusting, and I’m thoroughly fed up with MSNBC for their part in the feeding frenzy. But beyond that, I’m afraid I begin to smell something not very healthy.
Sad to say, I think John Edwards is lying. From just the few snippets I’ve been exposed to, it appears [...]

I thought I’d said all I intended to on the John Edwards issue, but noooooo. Some fool woman had to come along and make a perfectly ridiculous statement that begs for challenge. Get a load of this:
The obligatory John Edwards post

By now everyone knows about John Edwards’ humiliation of both himself and Elizabeth (and their children!) at his own hands. Hopefully people have also had an opportunity to read and digest her statement, which I found pretty extraordinary (as I find her extraordinary — and what DOES it say when again and again the [...]

(Still searching, btw, for that block of time which would allow me to continue my Call to Action — on which there’s been damn little action, btw. You’d think SOMEONE could post the link to some other blogs, or to DU, or something, wouldn’t you? Oh well.)

“The knife … was for the guys on my side.”
Good Goddess, can it be much worse than that — that your most urgent and daily fears are about what your “buddies” might do to you, you know, the ones who are supposed to help protect you, watch your back? Shudder.
I’ve spent most of today [...]

which is not the same as superficiality or superfluity (and which is all the more appropriate ’cause I got more heavy stuff coming, shortly).
I ADORE Suze Orman. She’s in her 60s and is one of those Boomer women (like Cher and Tina Turner — well, Tina’s actually slightly older than Boomer women — and Oprah [...]
