Bush's War Crimes

Rant, Rant, Rant
Thank Goddess the party is over! Having 8 teenage girls staked out in my living room till 10 this morning was not fun in any sense of the word. But, everyone has left and I have decided that one of my New Year's resolutions is to NOT let the girls ha...
Back to the Dark Ages?

Gay Marriage and the Bible
Newsweek has published a delightful article on gay marriage and the Bible, The Religious Case for Gay Marriage. I am so sick of hearing Christians quote scripture to justify their hatred of homosexuals. Some of the things written of in this article a...

The Audacity!!!
I am trying valiantly not to let my mood turn rancidly (is that even a word?) foul, but it is becoming increasingly difficult. Aside from all the other shit going on, my neighbor has been at my door several times today, as usual. The first time she a...
My Little Liberal

Everyone Must Die
I saw the movie John Tucker Must Die at Target one day, and I thought I'm going to make my own movie, Everyone Must Die! I am so anti-people lately and most days I just hate everyone. I try not to, but there's so many people in this world who piss me...
Just Knackered!
I'm just exhausted. I have been having vivid, horrifying nightmares lately at least 3 times each night, which keep waking me up so I haven't been sleeping well. And then this morning about 4 my cat, Dakota, decided he wanted me to get up and pet him ...
It's All in Your Head
So, McCain was quoted on CNN as saying that all of our troubles with things like the economy and rising gas prices are 'mostly psychological' and all in our heads. Isn't that comforting? It makes paying $4 for a gallon of gas so much easier, doesn't ...

Human Trafficking
I posted this on my writing blog too, but it is an important message that we hear little about in today's media. Who would have thought that slavery is alive and well in this day and age. So, excuse me as I hop up onto my soapbox for a minute. Slave...

I found a very cool new website for peace. It's called J Street: Americans for Middle East Peace and Security. I just signed a petition there urging Joe Lieberman to cut ties to extremest Pastor John Hagee, the one who believes Hitler was God's punis...
