I mean, I cried when I heard Bush say “Madam Speaker” to Nancy Pelosi— the only time I voluntarily listened to Bush speak in 8 years. So, yeah. Madam President? Like a baby.

Oh, that’s just the Republican jiujitsu of turning strength into weakness. They realize that 50% of the voting populace is female, and they want to do what they can to stop women from voting for Lady Pride by attaching shame to it. Nice try, assholes!

Yeah, Boxer’s been a bit of a non-entity. I think both Sanchez and Harris are amazing candidates, and the future of the Democratic party in California.

I interned on Bill Clinton’s campaign... mostly because Hillary was so awesome. So, I have also been crying a lot.

A biker here was hit and dragged under the car for almost a quarter mile... the POS was about to *get on the highway* when some heroes who’d seen it happen plunged their cars in front of his to force him to stop. Every time I drive by the intersection where it happened I think of it. So chilling.

Once, in the same bike ride, by 2 different groups of people, I got 1) pelted with glass bottles, and 2) physically shoved off the rode into a ditch. Like they came up beside me, slowed down, reached out the window, and shoved me. Cute.

H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. So “88" is a super cute way of saying “HH” aka Heil Hitler.

My senior year we had a campus apartment that was right next to the garbage bins for the whole complex. That was extremely uncharming...until move-out, when the entire area became heaped with flawless, usable goods. Rugs, stereos, clothes, televisions, CD players, lamps— I kitted out about half my post-graduation…

I was a girl, so beating up the boys who tortured me daily (after moving to a new school from one where I’d been loved and popular) wasn’t an option. So one day when they set on me, I drew a knife. And it stopped.

Fuck this guy.

Someone I wrote a reference letter for gave me this Chinese pottery horse in thanks, and I am absolutely rigid about always having that thing on my desk, facing the doorway precisely, with its screen behind it in exactly the right way, so as to bring me luck. And look: not dead yet.

I can’t remember the name... something with fire or light? It was a Christian cult. He has an MBA, so he’s thought about it from a financial aspect. Just unwilling to actually go through with the manipulation and lying. =)

I have a friend who grew up in a cult, and starting his own cult was always on his list of potential job options.

I really wish someone, possibly a Democrat, would introduce a bill that just goes all the way. Make fetuses legal persons upon conception; make abortion illegal; jail women who have an abortion as you would a murderer (20 years minimum, given the forethought required); jail the doctors, nurses, and receptionists;…

I’m convinced that if women just stopped having sex with these men, they would eventually go away. But just like Nigerian scam emails, the techniques must work often enough to keep it going.

Engaged after two months, here! Happily married for 18. Sometimes it’s just right.

I just love how “Social Justice Warrior” is supposed to be an insult. That seems like an awesome thing to be. Sign me up!

You know, I like to think that Scalia is in Whatever Afterlife Location just totally FRUSTRATED that he died when he did and thus might give Obama a chance to replace him.

Stanford girl!

Before you do that, could you give me some sassy advice about my man troubles?
