I would love to see someone in the media do some research and out the Republicans who use Viagra and/or pumps. They need to be called on their hypocrisy. Seriously, when Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a whore on national radio because of her stance on BC pills no one called him on his ILLEGAL USE of Viagra . He didn't…

This happened here in Portland and was a big deal on the local news where it was treated like a joke. Her, her. Everyone I have talked to is angry that this dad kicked the cat for scratching the baby . The baby pulled the cats tail and the cat responded. I saw a picture of the baby on the news and he had one small…

There's no excuse for this. Management should add 15% to the total and inform patrons in advance that this will be part of their bill. Tell patrons you're sorry to do this because you know the patron you're talking to would NEVER stiff a wait staff but others do and your workers have bills to pay like everyone else.…

Randall Terry and his wife could not have children and so founded Operation Rescue. It's not my job to provide offspring for couples who feel access to healthy white babies is their right. I often think part of the backlash against abortiona and birth control is due to to the loss of ready access to white children…

The fact that they killed a kind, compassionate man at church blows my mind. What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to perform to rationalize that? Army of God? I don't think so. Dr. Tiller had already been shot in the arm by one of these rabid fanatics and survived, had continued to provide care undaunted by…

Damn it! All you have to do is say brainweevils and they wake up ! Thanks, there goes my weekend.

Maybe he should change his handle to Neauxmeauxjudge.

I hate cumin, too. It tastes like dirt. A little goes a long way and everyone uses way too much.

Homemade New England style baked beans made with molasses, maple syrup, tomatoes, canadian bacon and onions are wonderful. I am sorry no one loved you enough to make them for you.

Whatever happened to kidnapping and deprogramming these poor people to save them from cults? Too 1990s?

Rape IS political. It's the patriarchy's choke collar applied as needed to keep us bitches in line.

It used to be possible yo make a middle class wage as an RN with a 2 year associate's degree. Not anymore. The American Nurses Association, like so many professional organizations before them, has pushed through policy so that now to work in a hospital a nurse will need a Bacheloer's degree. The formerly Masters…

Great article, Lindy, as usual. I think one thing that empowers the MRM is the Evangelical Right and its nonstop assault on feminism and LGBT civil rights. I remember listening 30 years ago to a two hour harangue on the radio by a conservative Jerry Falwell-type preacher. He went on and on about how women needed to…

Talking to friends Iwent to a traditionally Black college with we came to the same concensus. We all agreed that the racism and white male rage were the worst we had seen in 45 years.. I feel like we have to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge and the sheriff is waiting with his thugs and his dogs and the klan to kick…

The good, the bad and the snuggly

The Joint Commission on hospital accredidation needs to be notified. A patient must be examined - given a physical and mental exam within 24-hours of admission. The boards of nursing and of medicine should be notified. These doctors, nurses and administrators must be held accountable. Moreover, Medicaid is…

The laziest, most indifferent nurses I have ever had the misfortune to work with were psych nurse who went directly into psychiatric nursing with no medical/hospital nursing training. They attribute every patient problem to behavioral issues. This nurse needs to be disciplined and not allowed to practice without…

In facilities where I've worked the Ombudsman comes by regularly and chats with every patient, out of the presence of staff. He/she is very casual about it but always makes sure that patient and family know they should call if they're worried about anything. Everyone let this woman down. As a nurse I am ashamed of…

Such a great movie! Hilary Swank , et al are great. Gives a good overview of the differences among the various groups, the savagery of male opposition andthe courage of these women. "A Century of Struggle" is a good book to read with this movie. It follows the fight for suffrage from Seneca Falls to the…
