Monday Question -- About apologies.
Author: Raine Date: 05/14/2012 13:05:08

Quick question for this Monday Morning -- Would you rather have a President who fessed up and said I am sorry for something really stupid in the past, or would you rather have a man say "I am sorry if I hurt anyone but I don't remember the incident"?

1138 Reasons Why
Author: velveeta jones Date: 2012-05-13 10:30:00

I've always known that there are many reasons why Gays fight for the right to marry, not the least of which is to enjoy some of the same rights that Hetero couples enjoy. But I was not aware there were actually 1,138 Federal Rights that are denied to people who cannot marry. This doesn't include the many that your state may already have!

Here is just a sample, a smidge, a pittance of the rights that my partner and I don't have, or, will have to pay an attorney to provide us. Just a few:

Elephants and Pink Gorillas
Author: BobR Date: 05/11/2012 13:15:00

Unless you've been living under a rock, the huge story yesterday was a Washington Post research article about Mitt Romney's youth while at the prestigious Cranbrook School. The story itself was an odd mix of Romney's accomplishments and leadership with his penchant for cruel pranks. Two of those pranks stand out:

Fact -vs- Reality
Author: BobR Date: 05/09/2012 13:19:02

There's a saying among the left (as a counterpoint to the "liberal media" meme) that the facts have a liberal bias. What's interesting (and maddening) is how intensely the low-information voters on the right believe the liberal media nonsense, and purposely ignore those facts. These people (mostly Tea Partiers) definitely have been showing up at the polls during the primaries. The question is: how will they number during the general, and will they be able to sway the moderates and undecideds?

Enthusiastic Monday
Author: Raine Date: 05/07/2012 13:10:25

Good Morning and welcome to a new week. Over the weekend, in what has been touted as officially the beginning of his campaign, President Obama had rallies in Ohio and Virginia. Mitt Romeny surrogates and conservatives have made the claim that Obama is experiencing an enthusiasm gap with his supporters. The reason? He's not filling up arenas.

Jan Brewer fits the Definition: Bitch
Author: velveeta jones Date: 05/06/2012 14:29:41

I have banned my daughter from using the word "bitch" along with a few other words that demean women but are commonly thrown about by young women directed at their peers. I want to teach her to respect women; that even that girl that she battles today over the affections of a boy, should be her compatriot tomorrow. I try to teach her to have the same type of "code" that boys have, despite the fact that we should just have a "human" code instead of a man code or woman code.

But there are a few women that do everything they can to earn that title: bitch. Today, that title goes to this bitch.
