Pink is the New Black
Americans have busted through the racial barrier and have elected the first African American President of the United States, but in California and in most parts of the U.S.A, Americans continue to be homophobic!
According to the NYT, California voters have adopted a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, joining voters in two other states who went […]
Abortion Ban Rejected, Prop 8 to Close to Call
In other election news, voters in Colorado and South Dakota rejected ballot measures Tuesday that could have led to sweeping bans of abortion, and Washington became only the second state — after Oregon — to offer terminally ill people the option of physician-assisted suicide. In California, exit polls and partial returns suggested a close race […]
BARACK OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!
I am so ecstactic, relieved and hopeful today.
We watched the election results on our computer last night. MSNBC had live coverage. Fortunate for us. Here in Puerto Rico we do not have a TV. We were so stressed that history was in the making and we would not be able to witness it.
Teary eyed we […]
Blogging from Puerto Rico
I have been trying to blog from my recent, temporary home in Rincon, Puerto Rico. “The town of beautiful sunsets”.
Beautiful sunsets they do have, but living here in Puerto Rico has been an enlightening, frustrating and sad experience.
My partner (E) and I arrived a little over a month ago with the hopes of taking a […]
Is Elizabeth Hasselbeck Interested in a Political Career?
God, I hope not! I cringe every time she opens her mouth on “The View.”
She was however, incredibly “honored” to introduce Gov. Sarah Palin on Sunday at a Republican rally in Florida.
But she was even more excited about being able to “talk for a full five minutes without being interrupted,” by Joy or Whoopi.
She […]
Now, Tito the Builder?
For days, Palin has been speaking of “Tito the Builder” as another embodiment of a small business owner seeking lower taxes — in short, another “Joe the Plumber.”
I am so tired of Joe the plumber, Rita the real estate salesperson and now we have Tito the builder. What are we in kindergarten? “See Spot run, […]
Ellen Slams Palin on Gay Marriage
RNC Spends 150K On Palin Wardrobe
According to Politico, The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.
The cash expenditures immediately raised questions among campaign finance experts about their legality under the Federal Election Commission’s long-standing advisory opinions on […]
Racism and the Obama Campaign
The latest newsletter by an Republican women’s group depicts Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken, prompting outrage in political circles.
The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women Federated says if Obama is elected his image will appear on food stamps — instead of dollar […]
Roe V. Wade and Our Next President
If you watched or listened to the entire presidential debate last night between Barack Obama and John McCain, you would have heard a very interesting joust between the two men over abortion and Roe v. Wade.
Both White House contenders have differing opinions on the 1973 Supreme Court case that legalized abortion. Obama is pro-choice, […]
