It’s The Slow Dripping You Have to Stop
So last week I ranted about the proposed HHS regulation that seeks to redefine contraception in a way that will limit womens’ access to contraception. Today, I am writing my more measured post on the subject even thought I’m just as mad today as I was last week. First, how might the new [...]
Bush Administration Launches Another Unwinnable War–Against Contraception
It’s amazing how timely the questions I asked BlogHer to ask Obama and McCain campaign representatives during a special session were (questions that were not asked by the way). Here are the questions I submitted to BlogHer:
I want a straight answer about whether they feel contraception is a health care right of women?
How should the [...]
Goodbye from The World’s Biggest Polluter!
Come on, it’s just one of George Bush’s jokes! Just like McCain’s joke about killing Iranians with cigarettes. Thanks to a hipster tipster for that one.

McCain Late for Endorsement: Bush Tap Dances
You really can’t make this stuff up. McCain is late for his own historic endorsement by a sitting president, president tap dances for the press, press gets hot dogs, although I’m sure they would’ve rather had barbecued ribs. How embarrassing is that for President Bush. Is McCain standing a step behind Bush [...]
Whitehouse Should Have Been Using Gmail
At least there would be an email archive. How can this even be possible let alone be allowed to happen?
The McCain Bush Relationship. Hold Me.
John McCain can try and distance himself from President Bush all he likes, but you can’t run from this image or the uncomfortable positions McCain has recently taken, particularly on torture.
The War Against Contraception
For those of you Americans who actually enjoy having sex for non-procreational purposes should be paying attention to the Bush Administration’s war against contraception. From the Center for American Progress Report:
Every day in the United States, 10,000 young people acquire a sexually-transmitted disease. Teen pregnancy rates in this country are rising, and 2.5 million [...]
Two Year Anniversary: So Goes the Nation
Last night I finally watched …So Goes the Nation, the documentary that dissects what happened during the 2004 presidential election in Ohio and it was a struggle to watch the entire thing. As the Ohio political organizers, workers, and volunteers gathered together in an Ohio bar groaned and shouted out their disillusionment, [...]

Happy Thanksgiving
Pardoned turkey finds Bush’s brain.
Clinton Derangement Syndrome
A few days ago Kevin Drum wrote a post about Andrew Sullivan’s unexplainable descent into Clinton Derangement Syndrome (CDS), a development that is beginning to make his blog unreadable:
Obviously lots of people suffer from Clinton Derangement Syndrome. That’s not news. But over the past couple of years Andrew has practically scourged himself senseless over the [...]
Being Pro-life Means Post Fetus Too
Today on the Thom Hartman show, I heard about a group called Catholics United (not to be confused with Catholics United For Faith)that is making an explicit connection between being pro-life and pro children’s health, and they have launched a campaign urging six pro-life congressmen who voted against the SCHIP bill to vote to [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
