You may remember that Barack Obama had opted out of the public finance system in July-August. Pundits speculated at the time he would need around 55 million a month to complete the race. Then he made some nicey nice about asking donors to 527’s to contribute to his campaign instead. Hah! Lately MoveOn has spent it’s time OPPOSING McCain, rather than supporting Obama. The SEIU just reported on Sept 10th, they spent around $255,000, in Missouri and Kansas canvassing for Obama. They reported another $365,000 canvassing in Iowa. (Local 199.) (more…)

I was settling down a little, then I found annebellep’s article. Read the first three articles. Then read hers. Can’t forget the the whack attacks about pigs and fish? Palin IS NOT the latest bimbo. However, someone IS hoping you will go there. Palin appeals to us western types in a grown up, real person way. She also has the skills to do the job and that is scaring the bejeezus out of all the minions of the Boys Only Club.
Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Colorado, Missouri, Michigan, Wyoming, parts of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, maybe even Kansas, and Iowa.
Take a look at some of the serious ruminations going on below, and think about the states I just listed:

Selected Speeches from the 2008 Convention
How did the Republicans do in their convention speeches? As you are probably aware, they were distinctly different and rousing in a whole other way. Be sure and contrast them with the DNC speeches HERE:

Settle onto that blanket for the evening’s display. Each one is a beauty! If you, like Michelle Cottle, thought feminists were silent on the subject of “Sarah Barracuda”, you just weren’t reading the right ones!
Move On’s (And Others) Rumor Mongering – Updated
By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on September 9, 2008 at 7:50 AM
[A few days ago, I printed an email that Move On sent out with a number of “dangerous” positions that Gov. Palin allegedly holds or actions in which she engaged. A number of them were flat out wrong. It is exactly this kind of “Swiftboating” we all decried when it happened to Kerry. (more…)

Stuff of Genius
Well gee, Michelle is lost and confused about what happened to feminists. That’s what happens when you start with a faulty premise, like assuming there was a choice after 2004, and start blaming the victim. Hey, at least she knows our name, and she’s discombobulated enough she forgot to ignore us:
THE NEW REPUBLIC
Shattered
By Michelle Cottle
Post Date Wednesday, September 24, 2008 | Issue Date Wednesday, September 24, 2008
[Can someone please tell me what the hell happened? This presidential election was supposed to be a high-water mark for feminism. Hillary Clinton entered the primaries as the first female front-runner in our nation’s history. Better still, she wasn’t running as a Woman Candidate. ….]

Of course, THIS kind of information below is the real source of Michelle’s concern:
Affirmative Action Versus Feminism
Posted in Politics, tagged Affirmative Action, Clinton, Democrat, Feminism, I Own My Vote, Jackson, just say no deal, McCain, Obama, Palin, PUMA PAC, The Denver Group on September 9, 2008| 1 Comment »
Why is “Affirmative Action” one of the touchstones of this election? This counter discriminatory tool is but one of many federal programs enacted in the middle of the last century. Wikipedia offers the following definition of the program:
[The term affirmative action describes policies aimed at a historically socio-politically non-dominant group (typically, minority men or women of all racial groups) intended to promote its access to education or employment. Motivation for affirmative action is a desire to redress effects of actual or perceived, past or current discrimination that is regarded as unfair. [Who?] It also serves to encourage public institutions such as universities, hospitals and police forces to be more representative of the population].
Perhaps it seems out of date to talk about affirmative action. Further, to discuss affirmative active in the context of it’s gender benefit to Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, ageism benefit to John McCain, or it’s race benefit to Barack Obama seems at odds with what we know of their upbringing.

The Equal Opportunity Equation
It’s been hot for days. Sans the air conditioner in 102 degrees weather, the idea of typing lyricism into a sticky keyboard, while worrying about whether my dripping sweat is going to short it out, has provided an easy prohibition to the effort. Really though, the last two weeks have been too overwhelming. The effort to record and distill the events has been too hard a task. Finally, Gloria Steinhem helped with her recent article.
Clearly some voted for Barack Obama simply because he was biracial. The pull to do so is understandable. No matter what, his accomplishment is now a signpost of the future. So in that sense, something has already been accomplished. The final test will be, if he is elected, whether we have moved past the other affirmative action hurdle; an unfair requirement for a higher standard of competency. Let us remind ourselves that a true test of equal rights is that, after we are hired, we have an equal opportunity to have a different viewpoint, and an equal right to fail with equal consequences, in our efforts. We don’t like to think this way in relation to a Presidential pick, but there it is. (more…)

Animal rescue has authority to enter New Orleans with the other workers. This time animals are being evacuated with their people. Donate or volunteer if you can and adopt or foster an animal. Even if it’s not a hurricane survivor, your act makes room in the agencies for those that will come. Go to ARNO, and the SPCA. (more…)
