    the incredible shrinking woman

    Reading the comments from wingnuts on the assassination of Dr. George Tiller, you’d think that he was mowing down healthy infants in their hospital nursery bassinets with an AK-47.

    Nowhere in those comments is there any mention of the mothers who desperately wanted their babies, but who were forced into Dr. Tiller’s care by genetic or gestational defects that defeat even modern medicine’s ability [...]



    “separate but equal” is back

    The California Supreme Court upheld a ban on same-sex marriage today, ratifying a decision made by voters last year that runs counter to a growing trend of states allowing the practice.

    The decision, however, preserves the 18,000 marriages performed between the court’s decision last May that same-sex marriage was lawful and the passage by voters in November of Proposition 8, which banned it. Supporters [...]



    where’s horton when we need him

    Last November 4th, there was literally dancing in the streets. The era of torture and infinite detention without trial and corporate ownership of the government was over. It was our own velvet revolution, and the People had won.

    AUGUSTA – Governor John E. Baldacci today signed into law LD 1020, An Act to End Discrimination in Civil Marriage and Affirm Religious Freedom.

    … “In the past, I opposed gay marriage while supporting the idea of civil unions,” Governor Baldacci said. “I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under [...]

    30,000 + 53

    Earlier this year, I overheard a coworker on the phone talking about buying a couple of guns. One of our long-time vendors is a huge gun nut, and he’s been riding my coworker for years to get himself some “protection.”

    My coworker has a 4-year-old son and a 13-year-old stepson; he’s a smart guy who stopped just short of getting his Ph.D. [...]
