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.

US "Detains" 20,000 Iraqis 

Did you know the US has "detained" 20,000 Iraqis? That's one of those doublespeak words: detained.

They're going after John Kerry's war record. They say he got a purple heart for a "scratch." My understanding was that anyone who got hurt, no matter how "minor," got a purple heart. This seems like a dangerous strategy for the Republicans. Do they actually want to compare Bush's military record with John Kerry's? Seems like a losing proposition: so let's hope they go for it. 0 comments
