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.

First Day of Dem Convention Etc. 

I miss Bill Clinton. I miss him. I miss him. I was so angry with him by the time he left office, and I still disagree vehemently with some of his policies—but I miss him. I wish he were still president....

Here's a piece on Kucinich, with a bit on what happened with him and the Democratic platform.

What is the matter with our country? How did this happen? Why are protesters locked into their own temporary ghetto? What happened to freedom of speech?

I am disgusted with the Democratic platform, naturally. I just have to keep this mantra going: he'll protect women's rights; he'll protect the environment. As far as gay marriage, the Democrats are cowards. As far as getting us out of Iraq, they're idiots. However...it's still better than the alternative.

Did you go to that Word Count site yet? It is spooky. Kevin put in his sister's name, and the word next to her name was her married name! I put in the name of an old boyfriend and next to his name was "frightening, scream, frustrated," which just about summed up our relationship.

And, yes, Mario pointed out to me that Nicole Kidman is Australian, not British. Come on. I'm an American. You're lucky I know Australia is on a different continent than England. Isn't it?

Apropos of watching TV: I am tired of hearing about erectile dysfunction. First, each time I hear them talking about it on TV I have to stop and think about what they're actually saying. By that time, they're onto the warnings. Something about a four hour erection maybe being dangerous and you should go to the hospital. Now, remember, I am very visual. So while I'm trying to get the vision of a four hour erection out of my head, I'm also grateful that this is one dysfunction I will never get, miracles of miracles. At least not in this incarnation.

Can you visualize it?
