For when the body politic gets wild!
Since women kind of cleaned house last night in the elections and Akin and Murdock so didn’t win, I’m feeling a wave of relief I had been waiting for. Jaded as I am, it’s time to take a minute to celebrate these victories and the small steps forward we are taking as a nation. We […]
Kathleen Sebelius, the Health and Human Services Secretary, and I haven’t always been on the best of terms. I was appalled when she overode the FDA recommendations on Emergency Contraception. I’m pretty sure a Health and Human Services secretary had never publicly overruled what the FDA suggested, and this was just bollocks. It’s great that […]
I was glad to see this video this morning – a happy little PSA about not abusing the ladies in your life. Of course it’s sad we need to be reminded, but it’s also important that politics tackles these matters on every level. The sad truth is that we need these PSA’s. Silence about abuse […]

He says “I think it’s the right thing to do, as a human being.” Which is just seriously the most adorable. Especially in the hyper masculine, hyper hetero-normative world of hip hop, it’s […]
Oh North Carolina. You exhaust me. I am cynical enough that I wasn’t surprised by the news that North Carolina voted for an amendment to their state constitution to ban same sex marriage. As if their law banning it wasn’t enough. Better make it double secret safe. If you have to defend it that hard, […]
No matter how much you love to hate Newt Gingrich, I have one thing to say to this man. Thanks. Only in this very specific instance, but thanks nonetheless. Thanks for making Tristan Taormino’s Opening Up sell out on amazon. The week following reports of Newt Gingrich asking his second wife, Marianne, for an open […]
