For absolute sure I didn't enjoy being a teen/young adult enough - I couldn't wait to be older! Now I wish I could go back and really live it. So...I'm building a time machine! LOL!

I truly believe there is no such thing as being too old for anything. Well, almost anything.

I agree - that IS a great quote and it's especially important to remember when our rights are being challenged all over the country.

in Pennsylvania Voter Registration Sets Record on Menstrual Poetry
Holly, all I heard for 2 days around here was the Zeitgeist addendum! Mo has been talking about it all the time and wondered if you had seen it.

Whoa...You're a more patient person than I, that's for sure/ I wouldn't know where to begin with a person like that. Humoring her would only make ME angry, attempting to convert her to my way of thinking would only make ME upset.

in Tina Fey Makes Her SNL Return on Menstrual Poetry
You just knew she had to be honing her impression from day 1! She was spot-on as Palin and Amy Poehler is always good as Hillary Clinton.

in Gloria Steinem on Sarah Palin on Menstrual Poetry
It is insulting that the Republican Party thinks they can substitute any old woman, so long as she is female, and we Hillary supporters will change our allegiance. It's about the ISSUES!!! And Palin is about as polar opposite as you can get on all of the issues that are important to women. Does McCain think we are that stupid? And how irresponsible can you be, Sen. McCain, in choosing a running mate with no experience? That's not being a maverick, that's being reckless with your country's future.

wakemenow I'm not sure they're actually aiming for the miffed Hillary supporters, despite all the talk to the contrary. There are a lot of women out here who REALLY don't like Hillary Clinton (or her husband for that matter) who wouldn't have voted for her even if she was running on both republicrat tickets. They're proposing an alternative that's likely to appeal to a different kind of woman altogether because it doesn't make any sense at all that they honestly would expect Hillary supporters to jump on a Fundamentalist's bandwagon, female or not.

She's the first female Fundamentalist Republican VP nominee, not a Hillary replacement. Liberal women interested in voting a female into office ought to look into Cynthia McKinney.

in What This Woman Wants on Menstrual Poetry
I agree that language - the words we choose to use to describe our actions - says a lot about who we are as a society and how we treat women. Modifying the word "violence" with the word "domestic" minimizes the import of the action, which is an assault, plain and simple. Similarly, using the word "date" to modify" "rape" lessens its impact on the reader/listener/cop/juror. Both instances imply a woman willingly placing herself in a dangerous situation.
