You don’t want to miss this article over on MOMocrats. Did you know federal employees get no paid maternity leave? George W. Bush, and your other elected officials, think it costs too much money. Really? Surely not more than we spent to send a satallite to freaking Mars.
I think it just shows a general lack […]
You know your vote for President, technically, doesn’t count right?
Basically, you vote on whether a state gets an electoral college vote for the Democrat or the Republican candidate.
This is the reason that George W. Bush is the President instead of Al Gore - who actually won the popular vote.
So, I’m sure I’m not the only […]
Wooing the 18 Million Hillary Clinton votes - especially the “angry women.” Sarah Haskings is my new favorite celebrity. Thanks for the tip Violet.

One of the most surprising things to me at the Texas Democratic Convention was the Group Think Mentality between the Hillary and Obama delegates. For some reason most participants had aligned themselves with others, who had voted similar to them in the primary, on issues completely unrelated to Hillary or Barack.
For instance, defending the Primary […]
The Daily Story has an article about the First Mrs. John McCain, Carol.
Mrs. McCain #1 was a beauty queen when John married her, but when he returned home from the war, she was disfigured and had a shattered pelvis from a terrible and debilitating car accident. Sitting in the wheelchair caused her to gain a […]

I was anxious to find the Hillary-supporting women who have been saying they will vote for McCain or refrain from voting all together. I have read their arguments on the Internet and they seemed illogical, hysterical, and easily distracted to me - until I met them.
I was shocked out of my […]
MotherJones has an intriguing list of Vice Presidential candidates and explains what each might bring to Obama’s candidacy in All You Need to Know About Obama’s VP Options.
Two of them are women. Some of them are ethnic. Some of them are white men.
Barack - I’m thinking you better give me a woman to vote […]

Play this game to see how absurd it is that many employees have no sick days.
Doesn’t apply to you? Think again, your waitress or cook may be passing a virus on to you right now.

Wow, now I’m just embarrassed, Chelsea Clinton responded to the Rock Star-like applause from the 12,000 people attending the Texas Democratic Convention last night.
I typically speak to smaller crowds. This gives new meaning to the phrase, they do things bigger in Texas.”
My mother wants it to be very clear that we are […]
This is Vabbie. When I sent out an email asking for a place to stay she called me up and offered to share her free accommodations right downtown.This is the historic home in a very nice part of Austin - Judge Hill - where I am staying. They have set up a comfy cot in […]
Notes to self:
Next time bring a cooler of drinks, snacks and sandwiches on the Hillary campaign bus. Thank goodness Hillary-lovers are generally nice older ladies who like to mother through food.
It’s okay if you don’t make a room reservation. The nice Hillary ladies invite you bunk with them.
You need a card reader to download images. […]
Dear Hillary,
Thank you for being the first woman to run for President of the United States. Thank you for doing it for me and my daughter.
I can only imagine what it was like to face the worst of sexism and criticism of our entire nation. You faced it with dignity.
Thank you for not quitting. I […]
Last night Barack Obama garnered enough delegates to become the Democratic Nominee.
Barack Obama is first ever black Democratic Party Nominee for President of the United States in American history.
Hillary did not officially conceed. She said she wasn’t making any decisons. She made a request that her supporters email her in a controversial speech.
It was controversial […]
It really annoys me that people will underestimate or dismiss Oprah.
When you underestimate Oprah, you underestimate women.
You underestimate women politically and underestimate women’s impact on the economy.
Go ahead men, roll your eyes when we say “I saw it on Oprah.” Do your “pshaw” minimizing all you want to. Discount women’s impact on the word at […]
