You can tell it’s time for the midterms. The GOP has ramped up the “patriotic” banter, the flag-waving, and the notion that we’re supposed to be celebrating America’s great commitment to freedom for all. The July 4th holiday provides the… Read More ›
I have long admitted that we, as a group, were remiss in understanding just how dangerous Donald Trump was and in denial about the damage he could inflict on our nation. It is abundantly clear to us right now just… Read More ›
You’ll never see photos like these here in America. Revolution is not practical here. We might get hurt if we get on the streets. We can’t strike because we’ll lose our jobs. According to some Americans I’ve spoken to,… Read More ›
I could have made this another The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly. post, but I can’t find any good right now. These are all pretty ugly, and I don’t want to start yet another recurring post. People who know… Read More ›
Or the column formerly called “The Weekly Ying and Yang.” I’ve decided to take a different approach, primarily because I no longer write that column weekly. And also because there’s far more “yang” than “ying.” Therefore, I believe that the… Read More ›
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 ›
Okay, folks. I know you’re probably pretty tired of this stuff, but I have to do this one more time before D-Day. In the event that you are considering Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for the next four painful years,… 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 ›
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 ›
“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s… 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 suppose everything that can be said about Mitt Romney has been said about Mitt Romney by now, but I just cannot resist the urge to reiterate what I think are the key issues with the 2012 presumptive GOP presidential… Read More ›
Let me tell you, I went through 14 years of Catholic school. The nuns were never my role models or heroes. In fact, they were a thorn in my side in my younger years. But the Nuns on the Bus?… 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 ›
Va-gi-na: The passage leading from the opening of the vulva to the cervix of the uterus in female mammals. Vagina. It’s a word that appears in the dictionary, and it is defined as above. It also appears in the medical dictionary… Read More ›
This is the question of the 2012 elections – from the local to the national level. Scott Walker managed to get himself reelected in Wisconsin because he outspent his Democratic rival by a margin of 7 to 1 (see graphic)…. Read More ›
I’m pretty sure that if God were actually as intolerant and narrow minded as the modern-day minions in the Vatican who preside over His church, none of us would be here. I was born and raised Catholic, but I am… 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 ›
Yes, election season is in full swing, and there’s nothing like elections to bring out the asshats in the GOP, including the candidates they’re offering up for the Leader of the Free World. Here’s a presentation that will put it… Read More ›
I know there were a bunch of GOP primaries yesterday, but I hold no hope for those bunch of misfits. I was focused on a Democratic primary in Ohio where, I believe, the GOP targeted Dennis Kucinich for removal from… Read More ›
It’s officially election season, and many people have been wondering out loud if the Democrats can keep their majority in the Senate. They are defending 23 seats in 2012, and the GOP needs only four to take control. The House?… Read More ›
The right wingers certainly have a motley crew of conservative blowhards, from Bill O’Lieley (sorry, it’s O’Reilly), to Glenn Beck, to Michael Savage. But hands down, the most offensive and disgusting of them all has got to be Rush Limbaugh…. Read More ›
I may be a political junkie, but I confess there are times when I sit at my computer and pinch myself just to make sure I’m actually awake and not in the middle of some GOP-induced nightmare. (Okay, so I… Read More ›
I was at work when I opened my email and saw that the Komen Foundation has ‘reversed’ its decision on Planned Parenthood funding. I could scarcely believe my eyes. Then I read the statement by CEO and Founder Nancy G…. Read More ›
Welcome to the weekly Ying and Yang, a weekly roundup of events that may not require a full post but are certainly noteworthy in their own right. Some of the news is good. Some of it’s bad. But I try… Read More ›
