Susan G Komen Defunds Planned Parenthood

In a move that has instantly infuriated feminists, it was announced today that “Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, will cut off its funding to Planned Parenthood affiliates, where the foundation has traditionally paid for preventive screening services.” Planned Parenthood has been at the center of a lot of heated political battles lately. Most center on whether the group, as an abortion provider, should receive government funds for other services it provides, such as...

Senator John Kerry tonight released a statement following President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address: “If Members of Congress are going to be honest about it, there was a lot of common sense and even more common ground in tonight’s address. We shouldn’t have to wait for another year or another election to act like it. Tax reform, energy security, infrastructure, and jobs matter to all of us and we’re so much closer on these issues than the...

The Weekend Reading List

I’ve been laying low today, once again playing catch up with business and rest. Ah, yes rest… Something I never get enough of. Suffice to say running a small business and a blog keeps me very busy and rarely take much time for myself. That said, here’s the Weekend Reading List: The Gallup Daily shows a Clinton upswing in recent days: Clinton 46%, Obama 45%: At TaylorMarsh.com a piece by Paul Lukasiak dissecting the story by “journalist” Celeste Fremon that...

Here’s a little important non-primary related activism for readers from Senator Barbara Boxer in the wake of Bush’s latest too little too late global warming plan: Dear Friend: On Wednesday, President Bush delivered what was billed as a major speech on global warming. What a disaster! Rather than staking out a set of ambitious goals for America to strive for, the President argued that the United States should do nothing about global warming until 2025.  I can’t believe he...

In the Democratic Radio Address today, Rep. John Yarmuth of Kentucky linked the “costly” and “unpopular” Iraq war “with the growing economic troubles — some say recession — in this country.” Yarmuth noted that “the testimony this week of Gen.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I’m on fire, right now, as I have a lot on my mind. I’m sure many of you are getting worked up about the same things that are sticking in my craw. Yet, when I try to express myself in a coherent fashion, it comes out on the page looking something like  ”akjf;laghoehtoieWTFgj;akjoijfoidjAHHHH!” Of course, I “know” what it says, but it’s impossible to translate. I have plenty of time to think of these things, as I go about...
