Part Two of America the Immoral took me longer than I anticipated to put together. Better late than never. Here you have it. The continued war on women is immoral at its very core. Apparently the GOP didn’t get the… Read More ›
Over the last several days, the GOP has proved once again that it and its supporters are totally irrelevant, beginning with Donald Trump’s supposedly election-changing revelation about Barack Obama and ending with yet another GOP prospective lawmaker weighing in on… Read More ›
I’m definitely not gloating here. It’s waaaaay too soon to gloat. There’s plenty of time left before election day, and the times are decidedly weird. How anybody in this country (who isn’t millionaire status) could even be considering voting for… Read More ›
Ox-y-mo-ron: A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side. [e.g., Gay Republican; Republican Women]. I apologize for not being vocal of late. Frankly, I’ve been on vacation taking a break from the political world… Read More ›
The GOP NutCake Bandwagon has officially pulled into CrazyTown, formerly known as Tampa, Florida, towing behind it the most vicious and extreme GOP Platform in the history of the party. I’m pretty sure Dwight D. Eisenhower must be turning over… Read More ›

Nobody should be surprised that Mitt Romney has chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate. The consummate candidate of the one percent had to fill out his ticket with the appropriate sidekick. If elected, you can be sure of the… Read More ›
I’m not. I’ve been a political junkie ever since I can remember. I had an FBI file when I was very young. I used to go around to colleges in the Boston area and talk about the killings at Kent… Read More ›
Nothing that the Catholic Church does surprises me anymore. In fact, I’m prepared to say that the Catholic Church is now right up there with the right-wing Christian nutcake churches that blight the American landscape. But I don’t want to… Read More ›
Here is Part 2 of the article about the supposedly imaginary War on Women. As I said earlier, the GOP thinks we’re stupid. In fact, the GOP is stupid. Watch Rachel Maddow make a total mockery of Mitch McConnell’s assertion… Read More ›
This is the first part of a two-part article on the GOP War on Women which, by the way, is not a figment of our imaginations and is actually quite real. I don’t know how you feel about it, but… Read More ›
No shit. I don’t know what we women would do without the GOP. It’s loaded with geniuses. And it seems that the state of Wisconsin has more than it’s share of geniuses these days. Of course, you all must know… Read More ›
