It is absolutely a must see.

Has locked me out since this morning. I know that masturbation is spelled wrong below- but I can’t get in to edit it.

So if you too need to bitch about Blogger, feel free to do so in comments.

Let’s see if I can get through this without Blogger being a big whiny baby about it.

Congressional race in California to replace jailbird Randy “Duke” Cunningham was within 4 to 5 percentage points. Bilbray (R) narrowly beat Busby (D). Numbers I’ve seen are about 45% to 49%. In a district that is 60% Republican- that is fantastic.

Bilbray and Busby will face off again in November for the same seat. This was just a special election.

Oh- and Jerry Brown (my favorite California govenor ever) is running for California’s Attorney General. Yay Jerry!

And did you know that Gays cause War and unchecked masturbation?

For being such avid commenters (and because Ben Varkentine won last weeks big, fat virtual cookie) I have added some folks to our blogroll.

So go check out Jovial Cynic at New Protest and Ben Varkentine at Dictionopolis in Digitopolis.

(Ben has a thing for cheeto colored girls- but his site is pretty cool)

So how cool is it that Spain has an internet provider called Arrakis?

I took this little quiz before but was reminded of it today.

Results soooo not surprising.

Take it and post results in the comments.

I am dying to find out how voting went in California today, especially in the race for the congressional seat vacated by Randy Duke Cunningham.

If a woman’s studies professor can win this Republican stronghold (Republicans outnumber Democrats in this district 3 to 2) then November will be sweet!

Must wait till later for results.

Sexiest picture of Al Gore ever.

There’s an effort to draft Gore into the 2008 presidential race and I am going to throw my 2 cents in.

I think he can do.

I think he should do it.

I think he’s proven that he can win a presidential election.

And he’s gone through some changes. He lost the thing he’d been working for his entire life and then saw the damage that came from not fighting hard enough. I think if he comes back he will be tougher and less “wooden” than before. Personally, I saw him speak at a Jefferson-Jackson dinner in 1998 and never understood the wooden part, but he’s lightened up.

So there’s a Draft Gore in 2008 plan running. You should check out the site even if you don’t like Gore because they are going for publicly funded elections. Can you imagine if corporate shills didn’t get to fund elections?

Oh wow! Free, fair, non-corrupt elections and sexy denim-clad President Gore. I may faint.

( I stole the pic and the link from Shakespeare’s Sister– she thinks he’s hot hot hot too)

Because I am about to type something that is complete heresy.

Yay Wal-Mart! (Oh my god- is my hair on fire, am I going to be struck down by the progressive gods?)

From the AP

MADISON (AP) – A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by a pharmacist who claimed he was fired by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for his refusal to fill birth control prescriptions.

But wait, there’s more.

Wal-Mart and the staffing agency that hired the guy tried to work with him on his beliefs. He was not required to fill birth control prescriptions because there was always another pharmacist on hand to fill them.

But that wasn’t enough for the guy. Instead, he left people calling about birth control on permanent hold and didn’t tell the other pharmacist when someone came to the counter to fill a birth control prescription, so the person went away thinking that the prescription could not be filled.

Wal-Mart fired him for insubordination, which is a lot more than I can say for Target*.

Damn, I hate it when evil empires do something good.

* That I have to link to Big Girl John Arovosis pisses me off, but it was the best thing I could find for a 7 month old story.

PS- This is our 300th post. Who knew we were so verbose?

I have to drop the marriage equality talk for a while because it physically pains me- I mean heart sick, nauseous, migraine inducing pain- to continue the argument with people I am friends with on something that is such an integral part of my character and values. It’s easy to disagree so vehemently with people you don’t respect, but I feel vicious anger coming on and I don’t want to unleash that on someone I like.

With that, I ask you to try some empathy. You may not think that marriage equality is a life or death issue, but for some it is. For others it is just the day to day discrimination that wears them down. You can start with reading the stories at Freedom to Marry.
