Mar. 21st, 2010 05:51 pmFearless to the end: Remembering Margaret Moth -- I didn't know about her previous to reading this, but what an amazing woman!
Map by Audrey Beth Stein: bisexual book review -- Sounds potentially interesting
Top Five Most Ridiculous Things that Homosexuals have Been Accused Of Either Causing or Being As Bad As:
An interesting blog I want to remember to check out: Thoughts on science, history and philosophy of science, religion, politics, the media, education, learning, books, and films.
Disney Bans Fake Boobs from Pirates -- So you still have to be a size 6 or smaller, but also naturally have gigantic heaving bosoms. *sigh* This is just fucked from about three different directions.
Too much tea party racism
Civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis was taunted by tea partiers who chanted "nigger" at least 15 times, according to the Associated Press (we are not cleaning up language and using "the N-word" here because it's really important to understand what was said.) First reported on The Hill blog (no hotbed of left-wing fervor), the stories of Lewis being called "nigger" were confirmed by Lewis spokeswoman Brenda Jones and Democratic Rep. Andre Carson, who was walking with Lewis. "It was like going into the time machine with John Lewis," said Carson, a former police officer. "He said it reminded him of another time."
Another Congressional Black Caucus leader, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, was spat upon by protesters. The culprit was arrested, but Cleaver declined to press charges.
House Majority Whip James Clybourn told reporters: "I heard people saying things today that I have not heard since March 15, 1960, when I was marching to try to get off the back of the bus."
There were many reports that Rep. Barney Frank was called a "faggot" by protesters, but the one I saw personally was by CNN's Dana Bash, who seemed rattled by the tea party fury. Frank told AP: "It's a mob mentality that doesn't work politically."
Meanwhile, a brick came through the window at Rep. Louise Slaughter's Niagara Falls office on Saturday (the day she argued for her "Slaughter solution" to pass health care reform, though it was rejected by other Democrats on the House Rules Committee).
Really? Really, people?
In other news, I'm exhausted, but it's my own fault for staying up too late watching Watchmen.
