Sarah Palin is Not a Feminist and She Agrees!
Just two months ago, when Sarah Palin was announced as the Republican vice presidential nominee, I wrote a post voicing my outrage over Palin calling herself and being called a feminist. To this day, that post is the most popular post on Menstrual Poetry, receiving more comments than any other post on this website, mostly from McCain and Palin supporters telling me that indeed Palin is a feminist and how dare I say that she isn’t just because she possesses stronger anti-woman policies READ MORE »
Divine Mercy Care Pharmacy. We See Where this is Going, Right?
A drug store in Chantilly, Virginia has recently become the seventh pharmacy nationwide that are stepping right over what they were hired to do and are refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control. And why are they refusing women access to medications they need? Because god doesn’t like it; or at least that is the conclusion that many people have come to over the years. “I am grateful to be able to practice,” pharmacy manager Robert Semler said, “where my READ MORE »
Where I’ve Been Lately
As some may have noticed, I went an entire week without posting on Menstrual Poetry because I was busy…Very, very busy. This past weekend was the Healing Through Creativity art festival, an annual art festival for trauma survivors and supporters. I’ve been mentioning this festival periodically since August, when I found out that a short film I wrote, No Trespassing, would be showing at the festival. If you are also a reader of my other site, Healing Yourself Heals the World, you READ MORE »
Who Knows what Joe Biden was Talking About
Sarah Palin recently did an interview with CNN where for an entire 3 minutes and 20 seconds, she talks in depth about Joe Biden’s recent comment where he said that Obama would be challenged by an international crisis in his first six months of office. Palin mocked this comment and also repeatedly insists that Biden, the Democratic vice presidential candidate running with Obama, was telling the American people that his own running mate is not ready to be president. Apparently, with READ MORE »
I Would Suggest that Cindy McCain Change Shoes with Any Middle Class American
At a recent McCain/Palin rally in Bethlehem, PA, Cindy McCain made a speech where she said: “I’m proud of my sons, but let me tell you, the day that Senator Obama cast a vote not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body. I would suggest that Senator Obama change shoes with me for just one day, and see what it means.” First of all, Cindy McCain is not the first person in this Republican choke hold to the top to make this remark; in fact, she READ MORE »
Rally of the Buzzwords
From here on in, expect any smear campaign that McCain launches towards Obama to be taken at face value, but instead of those of us who are sane, practical and logical, we know to do our homework on any candidate, no matter who they are, and make an informed decision based on what that candidate can do for this country and for us. However, like many of us are all too aware of, there are some people out there who instead of doing their research on a candidate or thinking for more than 1.3 READ MORE »
This is What McCain/Palin Supporters Look (and Act) Like
While Obama makes his supporters feel uplifted and hopeful to the point where they will encourage people to vote, start conversations through party lines, speak with their friends and family about the upcoming election, McCain supporters are a little different; they embarrass themselves–Repeatedly. They take the smears, hate, and most of all, the ignorance and arrogance that McCain puts out there and run wild with it. This video shows that there are still some people whose minds are READ MORE »
Pennsylvania Voter Registration Sets Record
People registered to vote in Pennsylvania has hit an all time high and set a new record of 8.6 million Pennsylvania people registered to vote–And last minute registrants who sent in their registration as late as yesterday still have to be counted. Democrats saw the largest increase in voter registration with an increase of 500,000 new Democratic voters. While Democrats increased in numbers, Republicans voters have dropped by 28,000. Pennsylvania, I want to thank you for waking up; for READ MORE »
Just Name One Newspaper! Any Newspaper!
How does a question like “What newspaper did you read before accepting the vice presidential nomination from John McCain?” turn into Palin talking about how American citizens think Alaska is a foreign country? Apparently Palin has either read every newspaper ever created or none at all. Do Alaskan cities have local newspapers? If so, why can’t she name one? Just one? She could have just named a newspaper out there that she has at least heard of that she didn’t READ MORE »
Utah Lawmakers Want to Go Backwards on Choice
Utah has big plans for women in 2009–Big, big plans regarding women and how they want control over their bodies. Marvelous. Several conservative (umm…really?) Utah state lawmakers will be sponsoring anti-choice legislation in the 2009 legislative session to ban abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or endangerment of maternal health. Why is this? Well, Utah state lawmakers do not believe that women in Utah should have responsibility over their bodies nor do they believe READ MORE »
