So you vote for governors based on whether they like kittens better than puppies, or what their favorite colors are? That's adorable, Dave.

I tend to base my votes on what they have to say about POLICY. I'm not interested in their opinions.

Did we elect Lynch to impose his opinions upon us? I don't seem to remember that. I don't much care what his personal opinions are - he can keep them to himself. I do care that he votes to extend marriage equality to gay couples in our state. That's equality and civil rights, and that's his job - to make sure the residents of our state are treated equally. He should just sign HB 436 instead of the dangerous little game of grandstanding he's playing.

That eye in the preview is almost certainly Jack's. His was the first eye, in the very first show - and the writers love to come full circle on Lost.

LenaD - the NH GOP turned the anti-discrimination bill into a circus, with the aid of NH's mostly right wing media. It became known as "the bathroom bill" and opponents wrote letters to the papers saying that it would enable perverts to molest women and children in bathrooms. The Cornerstone Policy Institute (a right wing fundie group) made robo calls to elderly people to scare them, about perverts in the bathroom. It didn't help that Democratic State Rep. Tom Buco called the bill "garbage" in the paper,and said that trans people are in need of psychiatric help. Former Governor John H. Sununu is now the head of the NHGOP and he waved the garbage wand around the state. NH is an interesting place, and I love it here, but we are not a compassionate state by nature.

I spoke with the bill's main sponsor, Rep. Ed Butler, this morning, and he tells me that it will probably pass next time. They didn't do the kind of educational outreach that they needed to, he said. A lot of representatives thanked him for the education they got in learning about the bill. He was feeling good about the speeches on the Senate floor yesterday, and optimistic about the future. I spoke with his husband a couple of days ago, and he told me about the kind of harassment they experienced after the bill was filed. They own a beautiful inn, and the business number was given out by right wing hate groups to their members to phone bank calls to the inn, to shriek at Ed. The haters can so easily be whipped into a frenzy over what they can't be bothered to try to understand.

Unemployment is so much worse than the official numbers. There is no way to know how many people are unemployed but not able to collect. I've been out of work since January 1, 2008. There are no jobs in my area - and I can't leave. My husband is terminally ill, and our support system is here - not to mention his health insurance is tied to his job.

When I hear the right wing talking heads blabbering on about paying for other people's mortgages, I want to scream. No, I take that back. I want a rocket launcher. These moral pygmies would rather have empty houses all over the country, while actual people live in tents and shelters, so they can feel some bizarre sense of moral superiority - than they would to actually help people.

Women naked together and touching = titillating to men.

Men naked together and touching = gay.

Pretty simple, really Seeker. Rahm Emmanual hates Howard Dean. I don't think Obama's crazy about him, either.

It's too bad. A lot of Deaniacs are grumpy - and so are the left leaners, who have been pretty disgusted with his cabinet choices thus far. The whole biz with NH Senator Judd Gregg pushed me off the hope bandwagon. I'm from NH, and Judd Gregg has no business being in the cabinet of a Democrat. I've had it up to here with the team of rivals. I personally don't want to hold hands and sing Kumbaya with the same folks who brought us the last 8 years.

rant over!

Fuckabee covers his religious fascism with "humor" to keep folks from noticing what real nastiness he's purveying. It's like covering shit with chocolate and telling us it's tasty.

Re: Read These Now Because We ALL Need Health Care

Dear Prez Elect Obama:
Many of us have been having community discussions about health care for some years now. As a former community organizer, I organized a whole bunch of 'em. I canvassed a city to the north of me one summer, talking about health care. My conclusion, in the newly Blue NH is that most people want a single payer system. We're ready. It's you folks who represent us who don't seem to get it.

I don't eat at fast food restaurants. I apologize for being anti-American.

I was a professional cook for almost 20 years. I was fortunate to always work at small businesses, with loyal local clienteles.
I believe strongly in supporting local businesses. Chain restaurants have no soul, and no loyalty to the community. The money that goes to them goes back to some corporate headquarters.

I have a big blue and grey wool shawl that some members of my UU congregation knit last year. It's a companion to the healing shawl they knit for my husband who has cancer. In the winter of northern NH, this is a warm, wonderful thing to wrap myself up in - especially because it was knit by people who love me.

Quaker Dave - Dennis Kucinich is very warm, personable,and approachable. If he were on his way to dinner, he'd invite you to join him.

TWoP_Fan - Stephen King is also very personable, and has a wicked sense of humor. He does not take himself seriously at all.

I have odd heroes - and oddly, met two of them within the last year. John Nichols from The Nation, and Jim Hightower.
If only I could meet Molly Ivins......

I'm sure you were levelheaded - and turned into fangirl moosh AFTER the call! I think it's perfectly natural, and okay to be wowed by people who do important work in our world. If the media is to be believed, far too many people are turned into moosh by Paris Hiltion. I see no reason to be embarrassed about being reduced to moosh by Hillary Clinton. I was reduced to moosh when I met Jim Hightower in July. When I worked for Dennis Kucinich last year, I saw people reduced to moosh by him on a regular basis.

This is good moosh - positive moosh! Now, if you get all mooshy about Miley Cyrus, then we'll have a talk, young lady.
