I sold it on Ebay

Holy smokes, Folks. I think Sarah Palin may have delivered the tagline for a new era of political populism in her address to an “electrfied” Republican party last night. 
This morning it is perfectly clear that the DONC has been undone, outmaneuvered, and straight-up outclassed  by the Republicans.  How does a Palin bear hug feel Nancy? [...]



Word to the wise: if you are a Democratic officeholder you should definitely sign this

» by Heidi Li Feldman, J.D., Ph.D. September 4th, 2008 at 6:47 am » Comments (0)

Based on some anecdotal evidence from reliable sources, it seems clear that a significant number of Democratic officeholders - e.g. governors and members of Congress - are not quite aware of just how unhappy how many people are over the botched DNC con…

Live Blogging Sarah Palin

Whaddya think folks?
Please post instances of sexism against Sarah Palin that you have found.
Holy shit, sorry folks, but Rudy Giuli-freaking-ani just asked, “How DARE they ask whether a woman with children is able to lead?”
Holy Smokes, what has the Democratic Party come to?

Labor Day Share

Happy Labor Day Puma PAC! One of my favorite bumper stickers is “Labor Unions: The Folks Who Brought You the Weekend.” The Obama Movement often tries to pretend that we are rich, lazy housewives with nothing better to do than sit around and whine like sore losers, or worse — Republicans.
We all know this is [...]



The Democratic Party is my Party and I’m not giving it away without a fight

» by Heidi Li Feldman, J.D., Ph.D. August 30th, 2008 at 7:36 pm » Comments (0)

Today I received a very polite email inquiry urging to me to reconsider my personal position with regard to my intention to conscientiously abstain from voting for the Democrat at the top of the ticket this year. After receiving so many nasty anonymous…



Saturday Open Thread

Saturday Blogroll Roundup
At Alegre’s Corner, campskunk says that the Palin pick has panicked the Obama Movmt trolls. Very true, judging by the inhabitants of our dungeon here. 
Anglachel makes it clear where she stands, pretty much.
At Canonfire, Gary Kamiya pokes a hole in the Obama Movement’s hope bubble that Pumas don’t exist.
Chicago Dyke at CorrenteWire explains [...]



Thank You Hillary, Thank You Sarah

Thank you, Sarah Palin, for picking up the gauntlet that Hillary was forced to leave behind!

Mark It!



Ridicule, fine. Misogynistic ridicule, not so good.

As I have repeatedly said, I do not think vice-presidential picks make the difference in presidential elections. One thing does make this year different. This year the sexism and misogyny that seems embedded in the current crop of Democratic Party offi…

I Will Fight The ‘Good Ole Boys’ Til I Die

I am no quitter! I intend to keep fighting
I went to college in the 60’s for a computer science degree.  I sat in many classes where I was the only female.  A woman working in a technical field was highly frowned on back then.  When I graduated, I wanted a job as a computer programmer. [...]



The press, misogyny, racism and political leadership

» by Heidi Li Feldman, J.D., Ph.D. August 22nd, 2008 at 10:27 am » Comments (0)

This week, as many of us are preparing to go to Denver for the Democratic National Convention, Slate magazine decided to publish one of the more misogynistic pieces of journalism related to Senator Clinton’s supporters - not Senator Clinton - that I ha…



Icons

“Of the 210 statues in Washington, only nine are of women leaders. Less than 5 percent of the 2,400 national historic landmarks chronicle women’s achievements.”

No, these figures do not reflect the actual percentage of women leaders or of women’s a…



Feeling Abused & Violated

» by Sharon June 8th, 2008 at 12:04 am » Comments (6)

I watched Hillary’s speech today, and like many of her supporters, I cried.  Halfway into the speech I started to shake uncontrollably. I had to turn it off. I sat there for a while and just took some breaths. This is not normal for me. I am a realist who faces problems and defeats head on. I have indured some debilitating [...]



Sexism In This Election

» by Sharon May 23rd, 2008 at 10:39 am » Comments (0)

Every female blogger or MySpace participant, that I know of, can tell you a story about how they have had sexually degrading comments made to them when they have shown their support for Hillary.  I belonged the Democrats group on MySpace and finally had to quit because the sexually explicit posts were turning my stomach.  [...]



The Glass Ceiling - A Huge Step Backwards

» by Sharon May 22nd, 2008 at 12:17 am » Comments (2)

This election has taken me back 30 years to the times when the ‘good old boys’ club ran everything and the women were kept home in the kitchen, because (supposedly) that is where they belonged. Yup, I thought that this kind of thinking from men left us a long time ago. But, this elections has [...]



Why Are Women Talked About This Way

» by Sharon May 21st, 2008 at 8:22 pm » Comments (0)

I can not imagine any woman watching CNN and feeling okay about this.  Or for that matter, any son, husband, or father either.  This is just smut language.  And, these are supposed to be intelligent, respectable, reporters.  Things like this type of female degradation are just another form of abusive behavior.  I don’t see anyone [...]



It’s A TurnDown Day

If you have not heard about Steve Corbett’s radio broadcast, you may want to visit it online now.  Steve has started a movement called “Operation Turndown”.

He is definitely fun to listen to and if you are a Hillary supporter, it will lift your spirits immensely.  I was in tears last night - good tears.  Nice [...]
