Today began like any other. Then, I got a call from my husband, telling me about a guy with a gun at Discovery Channel's HQ. He talked about the police presence and the crowds. He heard something about hostages. It wasn't long before the media began to cover it. Surfing the net, to find i

Most of our combat troops left Iraq last night and those who remain will be out by August 31. Watching the combat troops make their way through the checkpoint and into Kuwait brought with it many emotions. Gratitude to the troops for the sacrifices they and their families made. Anger with t

I was going to avoid this topic. It got a bit personal when Liz Cheney came out with this nonsense about defense lawyers who defend people accused of terrorist acts are terrorist sympathizers. My husband is a defense attorney. He vigorously defends his clients because he believes in the values

The wingnuts are not having a good week. WND dropped Ann Coulter as a guest speaker because she's ... too liberal? That's right, apparently Ann Coulter previously spoke in favor of Gay Rights at a Gay Republican event. Wow I wonder if Ms. Coulter is going to sue the WND for denying her civ

The last American combat troops are finally out of Iraq. Finally! We thank the troops and their families for their service, as we welcome our troops home. As we've said before, we never agreed with this war, but the fact remains that the troops and their families make the same sacrifices, be

Prior to his "Restoring Honor" rally, Glenn Beck insisted that it wasn't a Tea Party rally, in fact it wasn't a political rally at all. He claimed it was a religious event, spoke about religion. The thing is even the Glenn Beck show doesn't believe Glenn Beck. His keynote speech at the "ap

As a progressive, I dreaded the prospect of attending the Glenn Beck love-in yesterday. Still, I went to see for myself how "apolitical" this event would be. The program for the event looked more like it was a religious retreat than a classic political rally. In accordance with Beck's instru

After much hype, Digg 4 arrived with many broken axles. Everything works ... at random. Sometimes you can vote an article up or down (the digg and bury buttons are gone.) Sometimes you can't. Sometimes you can vote a comment up or down, other times not so much. Sometimes you can subm

After a long hiatus, I'm back and admittedly feeling a bit overwhelmed by events, just in the past month. Admittedly, some things never change. The wingnuts on the right continue to behave in a predictable way. The stories of "Dr. Laura", Opposition to the Park 51 project and the continuan
