In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Did He Actually Say That?
Did you listen to Bush's speech? I actually did. He says the things he thinks people will want to hear, but he does just the opposite. He talks about AIDS funding, but he won't fund any AIDS project that even mentions abortion or birth control as options. That's just one example of his lies.
Mario mentioned he said something about "brown-skinned people," and I said, "No, he wouldn't have actually said that." But he did. I don't know how I missed that. I must have gone into a self-protective trance to get away from him. This is what he said, from the transcript, "Some of the debate really center around the fact that people don't believe Iraq can be free; that if you're Muslim, or perhaps brown-skinned, you can't be self-governing and free." If this is an accurate transcript, he also can't talk. Really? It should be "some of the debate really centers..." He also called Rumsfeld Secretary of State instead of Secretary of Defense. I know, anyone can stumble over his words. But all and all, I thought he did a terrible job. He kept repeating the same things over and over. I think he thinks (and Karl Rove thinks) that if he keeps saying the same thing over and over, the American public will start to believe it. It's worked in the past. Hope it doesn't work this time. 0 commentsAll photographs and written material copyright © 2003-2008 by Kim Antieau unless otherwise indicated. May not be used without permission.
