Yeah: I’ve been just plain speechless. A rare occurrence, to be sure. Savor it.
I don’t know if it’s watching neocons identify sexism like it’s this brand new kind of insidious ugly which has ever existed before last weekend,

… if it’s a certain sector all but rubbing their slimy hands with glee with the prospect that all this groundwork they’ve been laying and getting laid (fitting, that) will bring us to the point where they don’t even have to pretend we’re not fulling embracing facism anymore,

Miss you!

I hear ya - I have to keep looking at the electoral map to remind myself that Obama really does have a chance and not all states have automatically reverted to red in the face of Palin…. it does seem tough right now. Where is he!!
Heather, I blog for Babeland and I wanted to let you know about a little project Babeland is doing for our 15th anniversary. We’re asking people that we love who have blogs to write a post about what Babeland has meant to them over the years. I’ll cross post it on the Babeland blog to help send some traffic your way also. If you want to participate, just let me know when you’ve written the post and I’ll cross post it!
take care,
dallas
