Don’t Ask. Don’t Tell. Don’t Bother?
Last week another kick to my soul nuts was delivered by the Republican filibuster in regard to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Of course, many other benefits to troops were also put on hold due to the rampant homophobia of folks who'd never serve themselves...
O’Donnell: If You Can’t Beat It… Join ‘Em?
I haven't been blogging too much lately. Maybe it's because I've been in a fetal position, pacifier in my mouth crying for a Mother Earth to explain some things to me. Like how an anti-masturbation advocate can be one election away from a Senate seat? Or how a...

A Town Hall Meeting: The Ruckus in Ruckersville
While Senators and Congressmen are on break, they're taking the opportunity to hold town hall meetings to discuss the healthcare reform that is being proposed. The insurance industry is also taking advantage of the opportunity as well, mobilizing their forces...
Reagan Statue, Like Prez Himself, Is Silent on AIDS
Last week a 40-foot bronze statue of Ronald Reagan was unveiled in Washington DC. Here's a speech given by Congressman John Boehner, who cries, yet again. Boehner, like many Republicans, has a soft spot the size of the national debt for Reagan. But for people...
