Sexually Derogatory Remarks About Sarah Palin, GOP VP

“Sarah Palin is hot. I’d hit it like the Exxon Valdez.” from twitter.

“Biden will spank her =)” from twitter.

Vice President I’d Like to Fuck dot com (VIPLF.com) acronym for a new website up within hours of her nomination.

These are just examples of the sexually derogatory sexism appearing all over the internet in the first […]

Barack Rockstar (McCain’s VP a Woman?)

I was completely wooed last night by Barack Obama. He’s like a political rock star.

He says everything I want to hear. When he speaks I feel like I believe his intentions are where they are supposed to be. He shares my values.

Truly, I believe his plan is the best one economically. He’s a long-term thinker. […]

Honor Suffrage 88th Anniversary

If there is one event I would have liked to see at the Democratic National Convention it is the Emily’s List Gala. Yes, even more than Barack’s speech.

You can see a moving photo album of the event here.

Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama sat among all the female Senators and Congresswomen with their […]

Top-Down v. Bottom-Up - Economics 101

Let’s discuss the different economic theories mentioned in the Democratic National Convention speeches and which will come up in the Republican National Convention- Top-Down and Bottom-Up Economics.

Top-Down Economics is basically what we’ve been doing since Ronald Reagan’s infamous Trickle-Down Economics.

The theory goes like this - if you give corporations tax breaks and they make big […]

DNC With Momocrats LIVE

Did you watch the Democratic National Convention last night?

I watched LIVE with Momocrats and Twitter on my laptop. It was so much fun.

You should join us tonight. Some of those Momocrats are actually at the convention so you can hear what the emotional reaction of the delegates is and what kind of signs they’re handing […]

Hillary, Barack, John & Women’s Economy

Dear Tracee,
Standing on that stage tonight in front of 20,000 Democrats unified behind Senator Obama, I saw a bright future for America. I saw millions of people across the country working as one to elect the next Democratic President. I saw a new President and a new Congress giving a voice to the voiceless. I […]

Michelle, Isn’t She Lovely?

Michelle Obama gave a pretty good speech last night. I like her more now. Not that I disliked her before, but you know my loyalties with Hillary and all that.

Anyone else watching the Democratic National Convention?

They played Stevie Wonder’s Isn’t She Lovely after her speech. It was a tad over the top. But, it was […]

Target Women: Chick Flick

Ok I’ll see one them for sure. I already married Collin Firth. It’s not so bad.Dove sent free tickets to The Women. Collin obviously has no interest in going with me. I have no interest in taking him.Thank goodness Meg Ryan got her bad lipjob fixed. I was worried she’d never work again. OK that […]

Potty Dance & YouTube Peer Pressure

Thanks to Ainsley, Zack is potty training. He pooped and peed in the potty.

Peer pressure rocks.

We logged on to post the Potty Dance on YouTube and do you know how many other people posted their child’s potty training success, techniques or humor? Hundreds. Maybe thousands?

Evidently, it’s the new right of […]

Biden’s Not A Very Pretty Woman

I’m disappointed in you Barack Obama. No woman.

I guess you didn’t take my email very seriously.

Oh, and I never got the text message.

Barack Obama Chooses VP Today

I’m anxiously waiting for Barack Obama to sent me a text message declaring his pick for Vice President.
Last night I was reading his The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Vintage) and realized that I DEEPLY care who he picks as VP.
I realized I am pretty attached to the idea of being […]

Apple Commercials

Am I the only one who pretends I’m Bill Gates watching those Apple commercials? How does Bill Gates feel watching those commercials?
It makes me giggle because it’s true. It’s sooo true.
And it’s about freaking time they included some women.
OK - I just love that they called her genius instead of geek. Not […]

Battle Ground of Feminism: The Home

The Battle Ground of Feminism is the Home.
Because I don’t necessarily want to have that battle in my home today, I’ll stick with citing examples from FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH?, by Leslie Bennetts.
“This opt-out thing is about false choices,” says sociologist Barbara Risman. “If you’ve been raised thinking […]

Pit Rock - Deodorant Alternative

Someone recently described me as “all natural” and I scoffed.
I’m not really, I just do yoga and would rather exercise and take a vitamin than a prescription, I said.
Then I told them about the natural salt rock in place of my deodorant and the melatonin they should take to sleep instead of Tylenol […]
