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.

A Sanctuary for Dissent 

According to this article, the 2004 presidential election will be the most partisan ever. Gee, ya think? I hadn't noticed anything.

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! has out a new book, The Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers, and the Media That Love Them. Here's an excerpt from it.

Apropos of nothing, my novel Coyote Cowgirl was short listed for the James Tiptree Jr. Award.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program: why isn't anyone making a fuss over the fact that John Ashcroft goes around blithely declassifying classified memos when he is out to get someone? And it appears he is out to get the only woman on the 9/11 commission.

I encourage any and all of you to write to the John Kerry campaign and the Democratic National Committee and tell them you do not want Kerry to move to the center! Tell them how you feel about the issues, make them answer to us. According to this article, Kerry is signaling he is a centrist. He's forgetting that Dean and Kucinich helped get him where he is today!

Here's Michael Moore's down home assessment of the president's speech.
