Hillary on Bush’s religious-based reproductive terrorism

I honestly don’t think I could have said it better myself. I’m not one to normally post entire articles or opinions in my blog, because this is a place for my voice, but I don’t think what Clinton said needs any additional elaboration:
The Bush administration is up to its old tricks again, quietly putting ideology […]

Discrimination laws now protecting those who refuse to do their jobs!

Bush wants to make it illegal to discriminate against someone to work at a federally funded health clinics because they refuse to perform services abortions or distribute medications birth control pills and information about birth control, abortions, or emergency contraception. Last I checked, if you refuse to do those things at a health clinic, you […]

Murderers and rapists in the military

My local paper did a four part story titled “Suspect Soldiers” where they looked into the lives and pasts of the men and women serving in the war. This final segment examines military recruiting practices with a fine microscope, and for good reason: soldiers convicted of crimes before enlisting in the armed forces later committed […]

Thanks, fucker.

He hasn’t even been elected and he’s already going back on his word.
It is no secret that I did not support Obama during the Democratic primaries, but I’m not angry because he wasn’t my candidate: I’m angry because he completely reversed his position on a bill that he previously opposed.
Instead of valuing individual rights, he […]

Defense claims suspect “extraordinarily large”, couldn’t rape 13 y/o girl

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous defenses in a rape trial that I have ever heard, emphasis mine:
The attorney representing a Lansdale man in a high-profile rape case wants a mold made of his client’s penis to prove to jurors that he couldn’t have committed the crime.
Attorney Marvin Gold wants Montgomery […]

Generation Entitlement? Yes.

Via Anna:
Younger women arrive at a new office pumped up on Suze Orman and you-go-girl self-empowerment, and are quickly deflated by the necessary drudgery of copying and collating. Older women, who have paid their dues dealing with sexism and grunt work for decades, are chagrined that younger women assume they can just show up and […]

“Victim or Vixen?” The world’s worst headline for a news story about a famous pedophile.

Now, this article is supposed to be about the debate as to whether or not the alleged victim is actually the person shown on the R. Kelly child pornography sex tape, but the author of it decided to go for a catchy hook line, rather than starting the story off with what it was really […]

Boobs for “The Women” (Thanks, MPAA)

This poster for The Women is not ok with me:

Not only is the movie poster in the shape of a woman’s torso, it has outlines of (perfectly even) breasts in bright red lipstick. Oh, wait! Don’t forget the belly button, and the perfect Barbie waist and hips! I suppose it wouldn’t be so awful if […]

Rebecca Walker calls Clinton supporters “reverse-sexists”

Rebecca Walker really just wants me to hate her, doesn’t she? I feel like she’s playing an immature game where she pisses off feminists across the globe in a desperate plea for attention and wealth. Here’s a tip: you’ll never be your mother, so just let it go. Alice Walker is a far better writer, […]
