-UPDATE-
Anyone want to place a bet that the Senate will hold passing of these bills until the new Prez can sign them? Read Heidi Li’s post HERE. Then tell me I’m wrong. With Brazille on the the Editorial Staff of MS, the upcoming edition looks pretty well planned to stick another finger in someone’s eye. Any of our Democratic candidates, had they become president, would have signed these bills into acts. (more…)

I’ve said before, I’m not a lawyer. I’m pretty clear about the cavernous maw of emptiness I have in this category. In reading the “Lawless” article below, I was reminded that as a constitutional lawyer, Obama is going to have some particular viewpoints about the state of affairs in the Justice Dept. What we have seen up to this week has been non-committal, maybe even conservatively strict. In the past, I’ve debated to myself as to whether given his path to now he will wind up entrenching patterns in the Department of Justice, or restore the balance BushCo tried so hard to break asunder. This article expressed pretty well some of the musing and questions I have. (more…)

If you are a victim of stalking, please call the National Center for Victims of Crime, Stalking Resource Center at 1-800-394-2255 or 1-800-211-7996 (TTY).
My husband watches for these things and reminds me that January is National Stalking Awareness Month. If you have been imitating Rip Van Winkle, Peter Klaus, Honi M’agel or any other literary hypersomniacs, wake up and read below. (more…)
2009:What Toward, Feminist?

One PUMA’s thoughts about 2009
I do not have time to dally about whether the word “Feminist” is still correct. Suffice to say that I believe it is. That Governor Palin could call herself one, and Michelle Obama had trouble, shows the issue is not one of a leftist usurpation. Feminists right, left or in the middle, cannot cut off other feminists who support parallel position’s. Though I do not agree with Republican views of abortion, or their view of fiscal management or even their idea of care for the disadvantaged, I do find common ground on misogyny, and caucus fraud, election reform, and media bias.
Likewise, though I was outraged at NARAL’s actions, eventually upset with NOW, and disappointed by Steinem’s references to Palin, they are still democratic sisters. They made their best electoral choice. Most of their views are mine.
The problem, as I see it, is not our agreement; it’s how we got here, to this place, as PUMAs. To move forward, we must focus; “keep our eyes on the prize”. Then, it’s the methods in how we move forward. (more…)

One kind of job opening. Do you know someone that should apply for one of California’s Federal Districts? I’m guessing we should soon expect this activity in all the states.

Roland Burris
Posted in Feminism, just say no deal, Politics, PUMA PAC, The New Agenda, women, tagged Blagojevich, Burris, I Own My Vote, Illinois, puma, The Denver Group, The New Agenda, US Senate on December 30, 2008| 1 Comment »
-UPDATE-
090103 – The roosters are staring each other down,with Burris filing suit against IL Secretary White, and threats that the Senate security won’t let him into the chamber next week. Obama apparently is not reluctant to give his opinion either. That’s if you call it one. He would have been better off saying nothing. If Burris is a “fine man and good public servant”, he is essentially saying Burris didn’t buy the seat. If so, who cares if Blagojevich sent him?
Politico.com Breaking News:
The Chicago Tribune reports that embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich will name former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to fill the Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.
Lynn Sweet raises an interesting note. Burris is African American and will be, if confirmed, only the fourth senator as such. Three of the four have come from Illinois. There is no doubt he has the chops; will he be able to sidestep the Blago doo doo? You have the believe Burris thinks so, or he would not have accepted the appointment.
