Remember the whole birth control costs rising 900% thing? Remember how all it would take is an easy vote in Congress to fix it (at no cost to taxpayers, since it would just reestablish an existing program)? Well, the electeds have done jack about it and now there are women who are really struggling to get access to affordable birth…
Grist has a nice feature on their site where you can look through back interviews and fact sheets to see “How Green is Your Candidate?” For instance, here’s Clinton’s fact sheet. And Obama‘s. — E
She’s cool. He’s hot. She’s from the Bush/Clinton clan. He’s not. Forgive me for borrowing the tag line from Valley Girl to head into an entry on the Democratic primary. Sigh. Is anyone else pissed that the Democratic primary is even close, considering that Clinton and Obama look nearly identical on paper except for the…

I’ve got to dash. (In fact, late already.) But wanted to add two more bits … Today’s Dem Prez e-mail tally — Clinton: 7, Obama: 0. Check that. I mean Clinton: 8, Obama: 1. Can’t sum up the media’s chatter about Nevada’s CaucusFest better than The Gleaner, so I won’t even try. — Emmily
The humble Sin City Siren gets a mention in Morra Aaron‘s (you might know her from CNN punditry) political post on BlogHer! Here’s what I said: Even as close as we are to the caucus, I still can’t get a sense of who will be going to this thing. As in, from the masses, regular…
Buried under a pile of paperwork (government forms make me itch), I dig myself out momentarily to offer you these news bits. Enjoy and remember to chew thoroughly.
