Yes, I know the fourteen-year-old wouldn't be able to get into the bar, but it just sounds like there's a really good joke there. I'm hoping that the joke is on the GOP.It's quite a cast of characters that seem to be leading the way for GOP 3.0. First, there's Rush Limbaugh. What can I [...]
I don't want to stoop to Bill O'Reilly's level, but after he went on his Helen Thomas mock-fest this week, I think I might have to start. With a Democrat back in the White House, Helen Thomas got promoted back to her front row status, after being demoted to the back of the room in [...]
I'm going to have some thoughts later today on the farewell tour that George Bush has been on since the holidays. In the meantime, a few tidbits I thought you'd like .....Oh no, she DI'int! Someone really needs to tell Sarah Palin how the political game is played.Women, Power & Politics -- a good combination [...]
Like all good Democrats, I am counting down the days until President George W. Bush is on that plane headed for Texas, never to darken our governmental doorstep again. There's not much point in listing all the reasons why -- that's a book, not a blog post -- though he did virtually single-handedly send our [...]
After watching the new Sarah Palin interview clip from the not-yet-released movie Media Malpractice, I recognized another thing about Palin.While I'm betting she was a Tracy Flick kind of gal in high school, that teenage girl also had insecurities. And a girl with political ambition and underlying self-esteem issues about who she is and how [...]
Once upon a time, in a land that now seems very far away, a 19-year-old girl landed what she thought at the time was her dream job -- a position as an on-air television reporter! It wasn't in a major city or anything, but she thought she was well on her way to the ultimate [...]

$27.That's my new mantra.Several months ago, I read Melinda Henneberger's book, If They Only Listened to Us: What Women Voters Want Men to Hear. As she was promoting her book, Henneberger quoted a statistic in one article that if every woman who voted in the 2006 national elections had contributed just $27 to any presidential [...]

How green is my valley? I suppose a more important question is, how much greener could my valley be? We recycle paper, glass and cans. I haven't gotten around to putting in those compact fluorescent light bulbs yet, but I've been thinking about it. But I really can't claim that we're overly focused on reducing [...]
Two women I admire a great deal -- Elizabeth Edwards and Connie Schultz -- have my brain working overtime.This weekend, Elizabeth Edwards said to the Silicon Valley Moms, the DC Metro Moms and the Chicago Moms:"We don't get the change we want unless we are willing to work for it."A few weeks ago, when Pulitzer [...]
Rachael here from Redsy. Pundit Mom also asked me to come over here and pornify her temple of intellectual punditry with my brand of saucy sweary nonsense. Like Mrs. Chicky, I also had the huge honor of meeting PM. She's absolutely adorable in person and no bigger than a minute (Mrs. Chicky is also darling [...]
