Is it just me, or does it seem like we live in an upside-down world? A few months ago, Republicans were falling all over themselves declaring that there was no sexism going on in their denouncements of Hillary Clinton. But, now, when somebody says, Sarah Palin is not qualified to be vice-president (because she’s about [...]

Unlike some folks, I actually look forward to work to get me away from blogging (as opposed to looking forward to blogging to wind down from work). It’s not the blogging so much as the news. And, when politics are involved, I really need a night or two away from the blogosphere. Truthfully, it’s kind [...]

Everyone’s still talking about the “lipstick on a pig,” and Hillary Clinton jumped into the mix today to add her two cents:
“Barack has made this clear,” she said responding to a question about the lipstick remark, which Republicans have condemned as a “disgraceful” and “sexist” attack on Palin. “It was no way meant as an [...]

There’s a lot of vim and vinegar being slung around the internets, today. It’s like there’s a hot political race going on…wait…my bad!
Part of the reason for all the fire and brimstone, methinks, is due to the lack of truthiness from some quarters (I won’t say where. I will say it starts with a letter [...]

By the time you read this post you will either have recovered from the Palin Speech Drinking Game or had enough Pepto to settle your tummy. Of course, if you are like me, you probably opted for a refreshing rerun of CSI.
For those of you who prefer your Republican/Conservative news in bite-size portions, today’s Ten [...]

On Saturday, Democrats reached agreement on the Party platform and “shaped a set of principles“ that commits the Democratic Party to “guaranteed health care for all.” The agreed position on health care falls closer to the position Hillary Clinton held in the primaries, than that of Barack Obama.
Advisers to Obama and Clinton both told the party’s [...]

I’ve missed a lot of big news today… Including the very unpresidential act commited by John McCain at the 68th annual Sturgis Rally at Buffalo Chip campground, when he exploited his wife, Cindy McCain in front of a ”tens of thousands” of cheering bikers:
The Buffalo Chip beauty contest, that McCain was referring to is an “infamously [...]

The NY Times has a piece today on the annual BlogHer conference which was held last week. Sadly the Times relegates the piece to the “Style” section while claiming women bloggers are breaking “Blogging’s Glass Ceiling.” The BlogHer conference “began in 2005 to help female bloggers gain exposure,” clearly we still have a long way to [...]

For all the women, minorities and aged people in this country still facing inequality or downright sexism, racism or age discrimination it’s time for all of us because it’s time for all people to demand equality.
Barack Obama faces outright racism and admits it’s part of his fight. Hillary Clinton faced sexism, most obviously in broadcast [...]
