What would I do without the wonderful perspective and insights of my growing group of fabulous contributors? Here’s some end-of-session news from the state Legislature you can use from Julianna Ormsby of the Nevada Women’s Lobby. More assistance on way for Nevada’s struggling families For the first time in 15 years, Nevada families receiving Temporary…
Seems that I touched a nerve with that last post about the baby madness. I’m hoping it’s doing some of you out there some good. We all just beat up on ourselves a little too much. Only got a hot minute to fill you in on some various news items passing around today: Michelle Obama,…
On Friday the Feminist Majority Foundation released results from a poll of Americans about their attitude toward birth control (for? against?). A whopping 86 percent of Americans believe everyone should have access to safe birth control, including emergency contraception. The results of a survey conducted by Celinda Lake and released this week by the Women…

I’m totally bragging here but I wanted to share that I interviewed Margaret Cho for the latest CityLife. I’m a fan and she’s certainly the biggest name celebrity I’ve interviewed. (And I get to see her tonight, along with Cyndi Lauper, at the True Colors concert benefiting the HRC!) Sweet!

Kudos to the Las Vegas Gleaner for reminding me of just how blindly afraid of women the heartland really is. (And that’s saying something, because I’m pretty much always on red alert for these kinds of things.) In one of his posts today the Gleaner hits the mark about our fear of female political candidates…
Even though I dropped almost completely off the radar last week, somehow the world didn’t. I wanted to be sure to share some of these items with you before they become obsolete. (I promise, as I get better each day, I’ll stop slacking a little more each day.) Believe in reducing your carbon footprint? How…
Still recuperating but luckily I have another guest writer to tap for you. The lovely and brilliant Julianna Ormsby of the Nevada Women’s Lobby has graciously offered to give some insight into the circus called the Nevada Legislature currently in its last throes up in Carson City. (Unless they call a special session after the…
