A Victory for Gay Rights

I’m quite happy to read this piece of news today on Reuters. Obama signing this document is a good thing I believe. I have to wonder if this will actually be used to affect things going on with Prop 8 here in California.

There Is Hope

Thank you Damien for posting this. I was quite moved when watching it. I appreciate it for the beauty that it is, even if it is not new. I found this to be a short and poignant reminder that there is indeed hope…

Camille Paglia on Obama and Rush

My mom just turned me onto Camille Paglia. According to Wikipedia, she is an author teacher, social critic and dissident feminist. Since 1984 Paglia has been a Professor at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I found this Salon Article to be really interesting.

The Water In the Lake

“If Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi took three buckets of water out of a lake, ran to the other side of the lake, and poured those three buckets into the lake, do you really believe there’s more water in the lake? That’s their spending plan: Take money out of the productive economy, walk around, and hand it to the politically connected – 800 billion times.” –Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist

The Forbidden SNL Sketch on the Bailout

PoiPriestess — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:09:08 +0000

Saturday Night Live did a “Bailout” skit, which has created some rather awkward problems for NBC. They spiked the video and tried to shut it down on the Internet. But aha, there’s still some sites that have it.

Very startling to see Saturday Night Live absolutely nail the history and culprits of the Big Bailout. No wonder the powers at NBC pulled the skit. Through impersonations, they present stark truth, perhaps one of the most surprising presentations almost ever allowed on NBC.

We Need Something… Different

PoiPriestess — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 21:58:00 +0000

On this the 5 year anniversary of 9/11, I still believe we fundamentally need something different in terms of how we as humans interact if we are to survive and thrive as a race. I recently re-read this article about the war in Iraq by Ken Wilber and really resonate with his vision of how we could grow in the future. I hope it comes in my lifetime… though I think that would be optimistic.

Oh yeah, the lettering is in purple for Lexi… in honor of the theme of her trip: different.

Independence

PoiPriestess — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 07:42:00 +0000

I am thankful to live in this amazing country. I do not believe I could have started a fire dancing school with such success anywhere else in the world and I’m so grateful to live where this is possible.

I celebrate the independence of this country today because it was our founding forefathers who made my life possible today.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman…

PoiPriestess — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 16:04:00 +0000

Has it really been 11 years since this whole Clinton /Lewinsky thing happened? And have you done a Google search on her recently?
I’m not really one to judge someone else’s sexual tendencies and, as a woman who can’t imagine having only one lover for the rest of my life, I certainly understand the temptation an attractive woman (or man, for that matter!) can create for someone. And, that said, I do question the integrity of a man who says things like, “I did not inhale” and “I did not have sexual relations with that woman…” I’m curious… did anyone actually believe him? Did him lying about it somehow make it better? Oh, but don’t get me started there… that leads to a whole other conversation about how absolutely frightened we are of simply speaking our truth.
When I got fired in 2001, my employers said it was because I was “insubordinate.” At my unemployment hearing, it was revealed that I was fired for calling my manager (so what if he was a VP?) incompetent to do his job. I sat there in front of the judge and the HR folks from my old company and proudly admitted what I had said. The judge’s ruling went something like this: Ms. Isaacs wasn’t insubordinate; she was ignorant. I guess I still am because I don’t ever want to work anywhere where people can’t tell me I’m incompetent simply because I’m a VP.
