It's been nearly a week since the Obama administration announced that they plan to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) to the United States to try him in federal court. So we've had time for conservatives to weigh in. I'm actually surprised that we haven't had even more vitriolic freakouts from ...

Coming up in rural Wisconsin, I was raised by hunters, for hunters, and of hunters. Hunting, particularly the stalking of the wily whitetail, was part of the regular round of activities; planting in the spring, cultivating over the summer, harvesting in the fall, and, after the harvest was ...

I've been fascinated with the internet since about 1998. It was during the spring of my sophomore year of high school that my best friend turned me on to a website whose name I can't even remember now. I do remember that it was a fan site for Ani DiFranco, with whom I was obsessed at the time. I ...

Just want to thank everyone for all good wishes, vibes, prayers, meditations, emails, and much affection sent my way during the period of my chemical infusions. You'll never know and I can never adequately express what a difference it has made. From my heart to yours . Thank You.

A modest proposal for ending the occupation of Iraq: pay for it. A lot of crocodile tears are being shed over the "cost" of a national health plan. The GOP and its allies in the media are beside themselves over the idea that health care is a national responsibilty. They are terrifed that ...

I'm guest-blogging today at Spencer Ackerman's blog, Attackerman . Just thought you all might like to know. My posts so far are here and here . I shall update if there are more. A sneak peek: [W]hat’s wrong with hiring gay people? Okay, so homosexual conduct is a sin, according to them. But so ...

Last week, Barack Obama famously said about the fight over universal health care currently gripping both houses of congress and most of the country: "This is a health care bill, not an abortion bill." What does that mean? Abortion is health care. The health care bill, providing as it does for a ...

Videos of dogs and kids welcoming their "daddies" home from deployment. You'll laugh; you'll cry. If you're me, you'll be SO DAMN GLAD Mr. B. separated from the military before we had a kid.

Yesterday, John Allen Muhammad was executed in the Commonwealth of Virginia for a horrific series of crimes that he committed in 2002 over a three-week period. I remember it well. The "D.C. Sniper," as he was called, terrorized this entire area for weeks while people were terrified to go ...

I just spent a whole day interviewing over-prepared, earnest, bright young things for a communications position at my office; I'm spent. So ruminate on the awesomeness of the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street, the program that made me the commie-loving, freedom-hating, bra-burning woman I am ...

Whose Leaning on Stupak? Is it Your Rep? RHRealityCheck.org From RHRCheck: The House will vote this morning on an amendment to the health reform bill that if passed will effectively ban private insurance plans from providing coverage for abortion care. Where does your rep stand? These Dems ...

We believe in God, and in that which has been sent down on us and sent down on Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and the Tribes, and that which was given to Moses and Jesus and the Prophets, of their Lord; we make no division between any of them, and to Him we surrender. - Chapter 2, verses ...

What happens when you get someone who knows what they're talking about on Larry King? This. Sure, read the post and look at the graph, but click on the Larry King video clip. Minute 3.00 to 3.40 is beautiousness . 'I'm a POW! I got shot!' I could look at that again and again. In fact, I will.

Well, we're coming up on the end of week three of my being unemployed, and so far I haven't managed to write a single blog post. I'm kind of sad that no one seems to be worried about me! But I'm fine. I could blame it on the fact that we don't have internet at home, which I'm waffling on whether ...

In summer, it's warm. In fall, everything falls down. In winter, it's cold. Flowers are yellow. Leaves are usually green. Sticks are brown: the plant. Standing on a pole. Octagonally shaped. White words. Stop sign. Luna is a cat. Luna is very furry. She hates Medusa. A furry fuzz form Darting ...

The Wonk Room reads the GOP Health Care Plan So I don't have to but that doesn't prevent me from being confused (which I'm completely at ease with admitting.) My main takeaway: this plan screws over women (check out what it might mean for reproductive access), poor people and basically does ...

Work, as usual, is kicking my ass. Tomorrow I’m supposed to take the Metra train out to the end of the Milwaukee West line to pitch a conservative GOP congressman’s staffer on why they should include my organization on his list of projects for the FY11 fiscal year. It'll be my third such meeting ...

We all know you guys like Taddy best, so I figured you'd want to know that today is his LAST CHEMO TREATMENT. As I write he is either puking up his guts for (hopefully) the last time, or napping like the old man he pretends he isn't, or most likely bugging his caretakers about how damn bored he ...
