obscenity
I just watched a crowd of people jeering at a man who said he was ill with Parkinsons. The mob facing this man, who was sitting on the ground, yelled at him about handouts. One man lectured him, saying “If you’re looking for a handout, you’re on the wrong end of town. [...]
A bitch is fixin’ to get my lobby on!
Hi all y’all!
This bitch is about to head out on a road trip.
Mmmhmm, I’m going to join fellow pro-choice activists as we meet in Jefferson City to lobby our legislators to put prevention first and support the 2010 Prevention First Act.
Pause…look at clock…continue.
Lawd, it’s early.
Wince.
Anyhoo, bitchitude is on hold until my [...]
‘of thee i sing’
i watched ’sons of anarchy’ last night with hubby on the netflix. we seem to be drawn to gritty dramas like that- we also enjoyed ‘deadwood’ and ‘the shield’. what struck me- i was rooting for the bad guys. now, i am sure that’s what the writers intended- as they make the [...]
Our Future, Right Next Door
The Rushpubliscums and their “teabagger” tools don’t want anybody to pay any taxes, and they want any kind of regulations on “capitalism” chucked. They claim that nobody paying any taxes and no rules on the formation of oligarchies are just the thing we need to “renew” America.
I have good news for those [...]

Happiness and joy to all the couples lining up to get your marriage on.
Several D.C. based couples have already asked this bitch to preside over their marriage ceremony, but…although I am a goddess and the High Priestess of [...]
An outbreak of verbal malfunctions and home training fails…
Let’s jump right on in, shall we?
A bitch has noticed a rise in verbal malfunctions and home training fails from politicians surrounding the issue of children and people with developmental disabilities.
#1 – The “Punishment from God” argument…
I’ll be publishing a more detailed exploration of this one over at Feministing later today, but this bullshit [...]
Health Care Talkie Thingy May Have Done Some Good
“I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East — you’re as good as dead.” -Elton [...]
UCSD Teach-In is today and the home training fail that inspired it…
So sorry for the delay in posting this, y’all!
As you may already know, a group of UCSD students executed a rare synchronized home training fail of massive proportions when they decided to post the following Facebook message to UCSD’s Greek Community “in honor of Black History Month.”
Description
February marks a very important month in American society. [...]
John Mayer’s penis is not post-racial…
Several folks have asked a bitch to comment about John Mayer’s penis and it’s white supremacist behavior.
I could have lived my entire life happy as hell without the image of John Mayer’s penis sporting a white hood during a Klan rally.
Wince.
But lots of folks have been talking about Mayer’s bigoted penis…and his home training fail [...]
Why Don’t Rushpubliscums Respect Our Military Leaders?
Hasn’t the Rushpubliscum cry always been that they “listen to the commanders” whenever anything military comes up? Isn’t it supposed to be the dems that are deaf to the wishes of our military leaders?
And yet….. these Rushpubliscums, who love and respect our military leaders so much, simply dismiss them when they say something that runs [...]
The Audacity of Getting Shit Done…
Shall we?
Last night, President Obama gave a long and detailed State of the Union address in front of the people who are part of shaping the state of this union…and yes, that includes all of us.
Obama spoke about job creation and health care and Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and a lot more.
Republicans responded by saying [...]
Chris Matthews, post-racialism and acceptable blackness…
Let’s jump right on in.
A bitch didn’t see it…I fell asleep watching the Blues hockey game (we were robbed!!) and wouldn’t have been watching the State of the Union on MSNBC anyway because Chris Mathews works my nerves…but apparently Mr. Matthews defined post-racialness on air last night.
Matthews…
“I was trying to think about who he was [...]
Holocaust Memorial Day
65 years ago today – January 27, 1945 – the 322nd Rifle Division of the Red Army marched into an almost deserted outpost of the Nazis in Southern Poland and found 7,000 starving, sick and emaciated prisoners. What they also found was hundreds of thousands garments, suits, pairs of shoes, suitcases, eyeglasses, hairbrushes, and family [...]
Naomi Klein-Shock Doctrine, the Haiti edition.
Those rat bastards at the Heritage Foundation are already pushing their pro-american-corporationist agenda on Haiti. From Ms. Klein’s latest post:
Readers of the The Shock Doctrine know that the Heritage Foundation has been one of the leading advocates of exploiting disasters to push through their unpopular pro-corporate policies. From this document, they’re at it again, not [...]
