HuffPo doesn't like calls to action
Here's the comment they have twice refused to publish, which decision confirms my suspicion outlets like Maddow, Olbermann, and HuffPo are a lot more willing to encourage us to howl at our TVs about injustice than they are to even give equal time to calls to do something about it.
They encourage anger, but not action, and they encourage a sense of ( Read more... ) -
Don't mourn, organize!
Please repost and/or abbreviate & retweet. Citation would be nice, but more importantly, get it out there!

The fact that Google seems to be doing pretty well in China for a country that pretends it cares about "[not] doing evil" makes me less than ( Read more... ) -
Once a safer sex educator...
Even though I don't go out and do safer sex education as much as I used to, I still care about HIV prevention, and both dbf and I still pay attention--he told me about this one when he ran across it:
"Female condom" improved, cheaper, and now available in DC!
Must contact health department and see if I can volunteer to help out. Maybe this is the ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm stunned that the Republicans have half decent enthusiasm ratings. I thought the American people were smarter than that. I always thought, well, there is always a brain-damaged fringe, but if we can prevent them from committing acts of terror, the country will generally get better. However, Obama was not able to completely repair in 18 months ( Read more... )
