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.

Media Orgasmic over Reagan 

Pulease. Reagan is dead. I'm sorry he had Alzheimer's. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But as my husband pointed out, let us not forget, "Catsup as a vegetable, Iran-Contra, selling arms to the Contras, and firing all the air traffic controllers." And James freaking Watts, for goodness sake! Reagan cut so many inner city programs that many blame him for the drugs, gangs, and drive-by shootings that are so much a part of LA and other American cities now. Bush and the Republicans are using Reagan's death to their advantage. They LOVE everyone all nostalgic over Reagan. The media show the same clips over and over of his funny quips, and people's eyes water, and they say and think, "Gee, he wasn't so bad. I wonder why I hated him back when." Do you remember the deficit? Well, in case you've forgotten or you want something to remind friends and family with, here are a couple of articles reminding us what was wrong with Ronald Reagan. Geez, I don't look forward to the next week as the Republicans further deify Reagan by dipping him in the gold of bullshit nostalgia. Let's all have a reality check!
