To all those political partisans currently resorting to histrionics and hand-waving: Failing to seat even a single delegate from Michigan or Florida at the Democratic National Convention is not in any way like Jim Crow laws or any other form of racist (or sexist) voter disenfranchisement. I think this is an especially disingenuous claim to […]
I was just asked by a friend: Who said this: “Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYN’s aren’t able to practice their, their love with women all across this country.” As with every quote I’m quizzed on, I passed it through my “If a monkey could talk, would it say […]
A day after saying of John Edwards (the Presidential Candidate, not The Biggest Douche in the Universe) “If I’m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot,” the useless cunt who will hereafter be referred to as “Useless Cunt” (see blog […]

In my youth I was a registered Republican and true believer. I stayed that way for several years before finally leaving the party for greener pastures 2 years ago. Please note that I’m not a Democrat. People seem to treat this as an either/or distinction. For my thoughts on what this sort of assumption says […]
Well, maybe a little bit of a rant. I am sick and tired of people from the rest of the US bashing California over things like earthquakes or LA “culture” or electing Ahh-nod as the Governator when you get stupid shit like this coming out of the South: Georgia House bans genital piercings for women […]
