Someone owes me 27 dollars, plus tax

June 19, 2007

If there’s one thing I’ve always had a problem with it’s letting people borrow my books. I don’t like it and generally avoid it if possible.
There are probably multiple reasons for this, but the biggest one is people seem to have a big damned problem with not destroying other people’s belongings. This is [...]

Earlier this month the anti-women’s rights group Colorado Right to Life decided to get a bit uppity with James Dobson, the leader of the National Right to Movement. In response to his support of the SCOTUS decision that made the termination of advanced pregnancies significantly more dangerous for women, they took out a full paged [...]

Democrats gut Education bill in Minnesota to please minority of Americans

June 13, 2007

What’s wrong with the Democratic party? The leaders would have us believe it’s their inability to sucker Christian bigots into voting for them. I disagree. It’s their collective inability to stand up and fight for what they allegedly “value” – even when they’re a damned majority. Over [...]

Dean still wants the vote of bigots

June 13, 2007

Dean Howard wants Democratic politicians to woo the Christian right with their “values” because ‘we’ Democrats have a lot in common with them.

Suffer not the Woman to go unpunished

June 11, 2007

Various groups throughout the land claim that their motivation for opposing the rights of women is based upon their religious beliefs. They use terms like “pro-family”, “pro-life” and describe children, especially the allegedly pre-born ones as being ‘blessings’ from their god. Concerned Women of America (CWA) is one of these groups. [...]
