Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster or whatever deity you do or don’t believe in… this presidential campaign season is all over but the shouting! And there is good news to report! Of course, people wasted no time celebrating (or complaining) via social media of the president’s victory. I personally loved Think Progress’ tweet, “Obama Wins.…
That was one hell of a classic Bill Clinton barn-burner speech at the Democratic National Convention tonight! It had it all: folksy southern charm — admit it, you loved that line about arithmetic; using a quote from Regan to pillory Republicans — “They’re at it again!” And a message woven sincerely throughout the speech that…
I would like to write about the inglorious clusterf*$k of GOP caucus(es) that Nevada held on the national stage over the weekend, but I still can’t quite wrap my head around what happened. Perhaps the first wrong turn was scheduling it the same weekend as the Superbowl? Or maybe it was acting like Nevada could…
Ever since I was a kid, I have always been fond of making “mixed tapes” and finding the perfect match of mood and music. And sometimes I get inspiration from the most random or seemingly droll places — like the Republican primary ballot, for instance. But the more I’ve been thinking about it, the more…
On this 39th anniversary of Roe v Wade, the guiding question for NARAL’s Blog for Choice Day is this: What will you do to help elect pro-choice candidates in 2012? And this got me thinking about the famous JFK quote, “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do…

Here are the details and information on their pro-women platform: THE CAUCUSES ARE COMING! The Nevada Caucuses are rapidly approaching! The Nevada Democratic Caucus is Saturday, January 21st. Registration starts at 11 am and…
Maybe it’s just Mr. Ass Juice Santorum stinking up the joint, but I’m really getting tired of the whole caucus/primary-thingy season. And we’re only through two! How will I make it to at least No. 5 (that’s Nevada)! Last night I found myself just yelling at the TV numbly, “Oh, can’t we just pick Romney…
Let’s look at the news circulating on the eve of the next big Republican primary/caucus (PS: Don’t forget that Nevada is 5th in the line-up, so things are just getting started!) (PPS: Confused about what the difference is between a caucus and a primary… or want to get involved? Check out Planned Parenthood’s training session…
I’m not sure if my recovery from stomach flu was hampered or hastened by saga and pageantry of Tuesday night’s Iowa caucus. While all the pundits and political junkies swoon that it’s finally presidential caucus/primary season, almost everyone else in the country was still wondering (perhaps secretly), “What the hell is a caucus, anyway. And…
Yes, you read that headline correctly. The editor-in-chief, the Big Boss, at the Las Vegas Review Journal (the largest daily newspaper in Nevada) thinks women should no longer have the right to vote.
