Menstruating from the Bench
By Denise Williams
The hits on SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor just keep on coming. From from former Congressman Tom Tancredo's "a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses" on CNN yesterday to Karl Rove's juvenile "Latina woman racist should also withdraw" tweet and Limbaugh's 3-day Latinamania, comes these nuggets from convicted Watergate felon and talk radio host G. Gordon Liddy:(h/t ThinkProgress)Let's hope that the key conferences aren't when she's menstruating or something, or just before she's going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.And if that's not bad enough, he ...
Blog Roundup - Prop 8 Decision
By Denise Williams
Left and right and everywhere in between are weighing in on the California State Supreme Court's decision to uphold the November ballot proposition to define marriage as only between one man and one woman.Daily Kos (Happy 7th Anniversary!): "Today's California Supreme Court decision did not concern gay marriage and equal protection directly; instead, the issue was self-governance itself. How can Californians amend their state Constitution?" Michelle Malkin: "Translation: They'll be back. Will the anti-Prop. 8 mob restrain itself? Stay tuned. The blacklisters, tolerance bullies, vandals, and ...
CA Supremes Uphold CA Prop 8
By Denise Williams
The California Supreme Court has decided to uphold the CA November 2008 ballot proposition - Proposition 8 - restricting the definition of marriage to opposite-sex couples and eliminated same-sex couples' right to marry.Some 18,000 couples that had married before the referendum will retain their married status, but as of now, no new marriages can be performed.Prop 8's contentious route through California's ballots and the judiciary has been marked by extreme rhetoric, huge demonstrations, some violence and tons of money spent by the Roman Catholic and Latter Day Saints churches.We'll keep you ...
VIDEO: RNC Ad Targeting Pelosi Full of Fail
By Denise WilliamsThe RNC's latest attempt at cuteness, humor and political and social relevancy finds a James Bond-like depiction of the Speaker of the House (and, I might add, second in line for the presidency) not-too-subtly as Pussy Galore. And you have to love Pelosi in crosshairs, gunshots and blood dripping down the screen.While the RNC ultimately decided to going with the hip-hop strategy of Michael Steele, they might have found (as the Dems are still wont to do) that depictions of women in politics might be less ham-handed if they had more women in their reporting structure - especially the marketing ...
Bush Admin Intel Reports Covered in Scripture
By Denise Williams
In what The New York Times' columnist Frank Rich describes as "seriously creepy", GQ Magazine posted yesterday a slideshow of Bush Adminstration era top-secret Secretary of Defense Worldwide Intelligence Updates, glaringly covered with quotes from the Bible and usually delivered to Bush by the SecDef himself. The slideshow is a companion to a scathing article about Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon written for GQ by Bush biographer Robert Draper. ...
Happy First Anniversary, Whitey Tape!
By Denise Williams
One of the highlights of my time surfing around, and writing in, the blogosphere was by far the 2008 Democratic primary campaign. Certainly in my personal top ten "OMG, They're Really Going to Nominate the Black Guy" moments came in the midst of the Reverend Wright controversy and was dubbed "Whitey Tape". If you've been hanging around these parts for at least a year, you'll more than likely remember No Quarter blogger and former CIA agent Larry Johnson (stalwart Hillary supporter and proto-PUMA) startling revelation of a secret video that has an angry Michelle Obama in front of a mostly ...
Another Day, Another Bachmann Gaffe
By Denise Williams
The rolling gaffe spigot known as Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has graced us with another full-blown blooper reel - right from the floor of the House of Representatives. Congresswoman Bachmann this time, trying to make a point about regulatory burden and high taxes, totally blows history. She blames FDR for the "Hoot-Smalley Tariff" and how that turned a recession into a depression. Small problem - actually a couple of them...the Smoot-Hawley Act (named after Senator Reed Smoot and Rep. Willis Hawley) was signed into law by President Herbert Hoover in June of 1930. FDR wasn't in ...
Obama Budget for Dummies
By Denise Williams
I don't know about most of you, but my eyes tend to glaze over and my brain strains to understand the sheer magnitude of dollars that is the US economy and our budget. Try as I might, I can't help but saying out loud, "how many zeros is that?" I can barely manage my personal budget much less comprehend dollars of the gigantitude that are bandied about on my news stations. For those of you who are like me and would like to understand what President Obama's recent request to his cabinet to reduce department spending by one hundred million really means, the video below might be helpful. It was ...
Obama's First 100 Days Not All Business
By Denise Williams
As the MSNBC video below and this photoset from White House photographer Pete Souza show, not every minute in the life of the Obamas is staid and official. Despite a tumbling economy, two wars, pirates and a flu pandemic, President Obama healthily takes some time to just be Barack. Oh, and it's good to have a young, vibrant family in the White House again. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy ...
RNC Chair Steele Insulted Specter Didn't Call
