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.

Give 'em Hell, Harry! 

Harry Reid and friends closed down the Senate today, I'm sure you've heard. About time the Dems grew a spine or two. Although to be fair they have been trying for years to get the Repulsicans to investigate the reasons for going to war. Real life is that they have no power to do anything until the American people say enough is enough. Frist complaining about being "slapped in the face" is so funny. What a cry baby. Usually the accusation of being "rude" is enough for the Dems to step back. I hope it doesn't work this time. Taking this country to war is worse than rude, it's criminal. Remember that, Dems.

What can I say about the Supreme Court nominee? Nothing good. ANYONE on the planet who believes a woman has to get permission from ANYONE about what she does with her OWN body does not belong on the Supreme Court. Period. Yes, a conservative prez has a right to appoint a conservative judge, but he does not have a right to put in a right-wing conservative who will absolutely change the course of the court.

The saddest thing I heard today was Rummy talking about the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay who are on a hunger strike. He said they were on a diet. OK, Rummy, I've been on diets and starving oneself ain't no diet. And still, the United States refuses to let the U.N. talk with the prisoners. And remember, Cheney wants to exempt the CIA from the anti-torture bill, even though all experts say torture does not get good intelligence—besides it being immoral. 0 comments
