Solo Mother

An open letter to Senator McCain from a single mother

Dear Senator McCain,
I was reading highlights from your new stump speech–Politico was good enough to bring it to my attention. I thought perhaps you’d like to know what I think America needs… because I think you’ve got it all wrong.

Here we go again

I’m dressed and ready to board the bus in to St. Louis, to watch John McCain accept his party’s nomination. Palin’s speech was full of attacks on Obama that weren’t actually true. I hope McCain sticks to what he will do, rather than what he thinks his opponent will do. I’d like to hear how […]

Why IS gas so expensive?

I’m watching all of you solomoms and dads, all you families and young folks just starting out. I’m watching you open your wallets and watch the moths fly out from within empty, cavernous regions.

Racists, bigots and nuts, OH MY!

I give up. The only lesson today’s politics are teaching my son is that America is full of a bunch of racist, bigoted, crazy, selfish, narcissistic money-grubbers. OH MY GOD. Obama’s BLACK? Geraldine Ferraro just noticed that, it seems, and sees fit to accuse America of the biggest Affirmative Action campaign of the EEOC’s history. […]

This solo mother passes her political hat

From now on, if I have something political to say, I’m going to invite Stealthbadger to give us the skinny, the lowdown, and the down and dirty of it.
He’s cooking up a glimpse at what these next two years might be like for women’s issues (Go, Pelosi!) — let’s hope the pendulum swings back the […]

Pelosi gets some backhanded compliments in Washington Post Style section

I was flipping through the Washington Post on Friday when I saw an article on the front page of the Style section… about Nancy Pelosi’s WARDROBE.
Did we discuss Dan Hastert’s signature style, how ’suited’ he looked for his position? Did we analyze whether he could play the part in his off the rack suits or […]
