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.

American Ijiot 

Thanks to one of my bestest friends Pam and her son AJ for sending along word of Green Day's American Idiot. You can read the lyrics here (ads too; sorry). The song begins with, "Don't wanna be an American idiot. One Nation controlled by the media. And can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mind fuck America."

This was a good song to hear today while I read news that the Prez of these here United States gave Libby permission to leak classified information. The right spin on this is that since the president leaked classified information then it was no longer classified because he leaked classified information it was therefore no longer classified because he leaked it therefore...

You get the idea. Yes, this administration is filled with liars, cheats, bullies, and pedophiles. You know, I was going to give you links to the liars, cheats, bullies, and pedophiles, but I realized you know who they are. They know who they are. I will say I found an interesting site (firedoglake) with lots of goodies. And I haven't plugged Crooks & Liars enough. They've always got the best vid clips.

(Something's wrong with blogger right now so I need to sign off. Can't read it to check it either so I hope it's understandable.)
