I am frustrated by our need to sweat the small stuff and Weinergate just seems so fucking trivial in the scheme of things. I mean, don’t we have more serious issues to be focusing on, more serious problems that need fixing? I think we do… 1. Catholic School Bans Rainbows What’s next? Teddy Bears and Cupcakes? [...]

I’m a suburban white woman in my thirties and even I know Common does not advocate violence against anybody.

Just when you think Republicans and Conservatives can’t make themselves look any more out-of-touch, moronic and willing to jump on any crumb of negativity— they prove they are motivated and capable! Go Team GOP! I could rant and rave about how Common is well-known as a socially-conscious advocate of peace, not violence and this single [...]

Possibly the best reason to cancel my cable subscription ever.

It’s bad enough I can’t selectively exclude all things Fox from my cable TV subscription, but if The Glenn Beck Network becomes reality and shows up in my channel line up—that will be the only reason I need to cancel my cable. I can always watch all the shows I prefer to watch through my [...]

In spite of media predictions, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health Bill, providing health care benefits to 9/11 first responders has still not passed. The Republicans, once again, blocked the vote on this bill. They think it’s too expensive. Consider this: Individuals earning over $200,000 and couples making over $250,000 were just given an extension on [...]

Senate Republicans? Do us all a favor and go fuck yourselves.

It appears that in the coming days, the bill providing health care and financial benefits to 9/11 first responders suffering ill health as a result of their working at Ground Zero will actually pass. Good. It’s about fucking time. Actually, it’s well past fucking time. But you know what? I am so disgusted by the [...]

Pet Peeve #4567: Starting shit and whining when people hand your shit back to you.

When you post to a forum and you do so in an offensive way, you don’t get to whine when people respond to you in what you find to be an equally offensive manner. You started it, you set the rules for engagement and you have to expect that people will respond in kind. The [...]
