It is NOT Okay to Harass Women–And Here’s Why
Many women are all too familiar with being harassed on the street. For some reason, when men get together they exude so much testosterone that they tend to believe that not only is the world their personal playground, but the women living in the world are also purely placed there for their amusement and enjoyment. While men may think that they are just having fun at the time, their ignorance can go terribly wrong and in some cases, can cause a deadly situation. Of course these men READ MORE »
Sexism Sells–Unfortunately
On May 23, The Women’s Media Center and Media Matters launched the video below as well as an online petition to tell the media to stop treating women like a joke. All of the ridiculous, sexist comments made by the mainstream media hold absolutely no weight in the newscasts and the reporters who let such disgusting bullshit come out of their mouths should be fucking ashamed of themselves. Sexism not only exists, but it sells and that is the most unfortunate of all. Sign the READ MORE »
The Message is Simple
Power to the people. Give peace a chance. Mike Gravel is a politician who has always known where he stands when it comes to the issues affecting America. He is a politician who has always spoken out and stood up for his beliefs and the hopes of millions of Americans. He is also a politician who because of the political expectations he has had for this country, he never had the chance that he undoubtedly deserved to be a viable presidential candidate. It is with a deeply sad heart to READ MORE »
The Uterus Vase
I saw this vase and immediately thought it was kick ass. After visiting the site it’s offered on, Pure Contemporary, I think it’s even more kick ass, especially with how the description is written: “Although the shape of the female reproductive organ is known by everyone from illustrations in biology or anatomy books, one rarely speaks about it openly. Even more rare are the occasions to celebrate it. However, the statuary beauty of this smooth porcelain-like vase of pure READ MORE »
John McCain on Ellen
John McCain was recently on Ellen, which at first I found odd. I sat here inquisitively thinking “Why Ellen, what are you doing?” And I just have to say, I heart Ellen. I can just read McCain’s thought process through this. “Maybe, just maybe, if I speak really slowly and don’t make direct eye contact with Ellen or anyone else for that matter, I can leave sooner…Is it working? Can we stop talking about this now? Stop making me look even worse than I READ MORE »

Welcome America, to the Second Vietnam
Coverage on the Iraq war has been constant, however, with recent media hitting about war crimes and the bullshit that this country’s administration is pulling against their own troops is honestly astounding and infuriating me to no end. I have been comparing the war in Iraq to Vietnam for a few years now and not only do I and so many other Americans see what this war really is, but even the Iraqis are speaking out and saying that yes, this war is absolutely nothing but a second READ MORE »
Recent Reproductive Rights Triumphs
There has been a lot of news on reproductive rights lately and sadly, I have not covered any of it. So here is all of the happy reproductive rights news I missed! Canada has approved emergency contraception pill, Plan B, for over-the-counter sale. Emergency contraception sale in Canada was available over-the-counter in 2005, but only partially, as it was only available to women who had a medical consultation with a pharmacist. If you’re curious as to what the status of emergency READ MORE »
More of the Same McCain–100 Years in Iraq
Yeah, yeah, today is obviously John McCain day. Following up on my statement that McCain is offering just more of the same when it comes to this country’s downfall, I saw this video today and it is kick ass. I can’t believe people are calling this asshole a war hero, maybe if he wasn’t suffering from dementia he would be able to remember how horrible war is in the first place and he would hopefully not be so okay with spending 100 years in Iraq.

Still Think McCain is a Moderate?
I have written a ton of articles on John McCain and as soon as every single one of these posts have went up, I have had at least one comment or direct email telling me that either I was wrong and that McCain is a moderate or I have been told that they thought he was a moderate. This is because McCain is using the tactic that has been seen to be the most effective and successful in his campaign thus far–He is targeting swing voters and making them believe that indeed, he is the right READ MORE »
