Experience Counts August 27, 2008
commenter votermom on shakesville leads us to this video that perfectly highlights the feelings of many women, especially of the older generation, who supported, and still support, Hillary Clinton. this woman isn’t bitter. she sad, and worried, and feels very left out. she doesn’t feel that Barack Obama has reached out to her and she doesn’t feel connected. we’ve all felt that way about something. let’s try our damndest to reach out to these voters so that they don’t have to make the painful decision to simply NOT VOTE in november.
*just fyi, i HATE the term PUMA. it’s one of the labels on the video, but i don’t think this woman represents the ideas behind it at all.
Exercise your right August 26, 2008
In honor of the 88th anniversary of the 19th amendment, take a moment to tell the Bush administration that it’s not a doctor’s responsibility to impart moral advice on a patient. It’s his or her responsibility to provide the treatment or medicine requested along with all SCIENTIFIC data that may be pertinent to the patient’s health. No one is forcing doctors into the profession. They know what they’re doing, or should, during those 10 years of medical school and internship. If they can get through all that without having their conscience pop up over MY decisions regarding MY body, then they shouldn’t have any problem continuing to practice just as they started.
To read something a little more coherent on this, check out shakesville. Then send your objections via the ACLU’s easy link, below.

A few rules for life as a non-asshole August 19, 2008
When someone engages in divisive behavior, any resulting division is their responsibility.
The difference between a person who gets raped and one who doesn’t is the PRESENCE OF A RAPIST – not how much the victim drank, or how he or she was dressed, or any other arbitrary factors about the victim.
I just felt like reiterating these for anyone who might not already know them.
conservative doesn’t equal racist August 11, 2008
but, good lord, they sometimes make it hard to believe that.
Obama as a monkey! That’s funny!
and the rest of the shirts on this site are just as bad.
not racist, but extremely insensitive and unfunny
so far, i can’t find any anti-gay shirts, but i’m sure they’re there. ugh.
