Hounddog

September 29, 2008 by Holly in arts, film, sexual assault

I just finished watching the movie Hounddog; I received it over a week ago but because I’ve been working a lot lately, it took me a little while to get the time (and emotional energy) to sit down and watch it. On that note, waiting over a week to watch it was a big mistake because this movie is phenomenal. Hounddog is about healing–From having to grow up way too early, from sexual assault and from betrayal; it shows life in its sometimes unpleasant and ugly, but also inspiring READ MORE »

What the Hell are You Talking About, Lady?

September 26, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, politics

Not only does Sarah Palin not know what the Bush doctrine is, she is proving that she also has no clue whatsoever what’s going on with anything this country is up against and will have to be reformed during the next presidential administration. Palin was recently interviewed by Katie Couric, who the next day said that Palin is “not always responsive when she’s asked questions.” I just want to know what the hell this lady is going on about and towards the middle of READ MORE »

John McCain Can’t Hold Up During a Crisis

September 25, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, financial crisis, politics

John McCain continues to assure the American people that he is not ready to become president and this time, instead of campaigning and assuring us that if he became president he would know how to take care of such a crisis, he is postponing his campaign and “focusing on the financial crisis.” I wonder what “focusing” means, since we all know how he has focused on crises in the past (ie partying with Bush on his birthday while Katrina devastated the lives of thousands READ MORE »

September 22, 2008 by Holly in anti-choice, religion

I went to the Bloomsburg Fair two days ago with my family. (My legs and feet have been healing for the past day after over 8 hours of walking and eating) The fair is something I look forward to every year and it’s also the best place to stock up on religious fliers from Baptist and Catholic churches which you can find tents and booths for every five booths or so. I have made a habit of collecting miscellaneous fliers, brochures, pamphlets, posters, bibles and basically anything I can READ MORE »

September 22, 2008 by Holly in LGBT

Same-sex couples are currently being treated equally as heterosexual couples when it comes to marriage in California, as most of us already know. Apparently many, many people are not happy with equality and have already tried to attack the legislature; over $16 million has gone in to denying same-sex couples the same, basic right as heterosexual couples in California. A proposition being called Prop 8 is aimed to eliminate marriage equality and Californians will be voting on this READ MORE »
