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.

Obstructionist 

OK. One more thing. The Republicans have a new watchword: obstructionists. That's what they're calling the Dems. The Dems keep saying, "No, no, see how well we work together. We're not obstructionists." Hey, Reps and Senators, STOP THIS ADMINISTRATION. BE A FREAKING OBSTRUCTIONIST. If you are impeding the progress of something that is corrupt (to say the least) be proud! Or be humble. I don't care. Just do it. And fight this Bolton nomination. Don't give in this time. Get some ovaries, balls, some kind of gonads and do the right thing. Do the beautiful thing.

I'm listening to Randi Rhodes. (She just used the same Michael Jackson example as I used in the last post. Funny.) People are demonstrating in Phoenix, in solidarity with what happened in D.C. These demonstrations are going on all over the country. There probably won't be media coverage. But you know what? If the media doesn't cover something, THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. This is a grassroots movement--this is a people's movement--and I truly think the worm is turning. Don't you?

Remember, today people spoke the truth outloud in Washington, D.C. It was recorded. It will be replayed on C-Span 2 tonight and tomorrow night. They delivered the letter to the White House with our names on it. Feel good that you are doing your part, whatever that is.

Power to the People!
