UniteWomen.org is organizing rallies against the War on Women nationwide tomorrow, Saturday April 28th. If you’d like to stand up for women, including putting a stop to the erosion of our reproductive rights, fighting against the needless opposition to the Violence Against Women Act and promotion of other legislation which limits the hard-won rights of American women, this is a great way to get involved.  Read the rest of this entry →

Moral Outrage, Righteous Anger and the Enemies of Compassion

April 25, 2012 at 3:00 pm in Op Ed

A few weeks ago, I was fuming after reading one of Susan’s fantastic takedowns. I was yelling and swearing, sitting alone at my computer, and it felt good. My anger felt productive, like it was easing some of the helplessness I felt at the subject of Susan’s rant. I felt so certain I was on the good-guy side of the argument; I wore my righteous anger like a suit of armor.  Read the rest of this entry →

I love fried cheese. Sure, it’s not an everyday food, and even as a special treat it’s probably not the healthiest choice, but I love them anyway.

We Try It! Bissell Steam Shot and Steam Burn Care

April 16, 2012 at 5:00 pm in We try it!

Have I told you all that I’m a klutz? I trip over my own feet, I’m constantly banging my head or other body parts on something, and I’ve never, ever been camping or hiking without scraping at least both my knees. I have a drawer full of Band-Aids and antibiotic ointment and a freezer full of ice packs, because after forty years on this planet, I know I’ll need them sooner than later.  Read the rest of this entry →

It’s Friday, I’m in Love With This Open Thread

April 13, 2012 at 10:00 pm in Open Thread

It’s also Friday the 13th, which, for half-assed superstitious people like myself, means I was sure something shitty was going to happen all day, while being self-aware enough to hate myself for thinking it.  Read the rest of this entry →
