Political Straddlers 12 years, 3 months agoYesterday the U.S. House meaninglessly voted 248-175 to affirm DOMA as the law of the land. here’s the list of the bigoted homophobic DINO reps who voted with the republicans on this heinous bill:
Jason Altmire (D-Pa.)
John Barrow (D-Ga.)
Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.)
Dan Boren (D-Okla.)
Ben Chandler (D-Ky.)
Jerry Costello (D-Ill.)…[Read more] -

Political Straddlers 12 years, 4 months agoOkay, I know I said I didn’t want to talk about the election, but this is actually kind of interesting: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-06-14/gop-debate-shows-partys-shallowness-on-domestic-foreign-policy/?cid=hp:mainpromo2
I mean, I know it’s obviously because the Republicans are just saying “no” to whatever Obama says “yes”…[Read more]

Political Straddlers 12 years, 4 months agoAnyone want to talk about something else besides the US presidential election? Who here thinks John Boehner looks like a giant pumpkin? Okay, maybe not that, I’m just desperate to talk about something else, the idea of any of those people defeating Barack is depressing me. Someone suggest a topic?

Iceland. Seriously. If it wasn’t far too cold I would want to move there, politically speaking it sounds like heaven on earth. The Prime Minister of Iceland, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, a happily gay married woman and proud feminist recently said “The Nordic countries are leading the way on women’s equality, recognizing women as equal citizens ra…[Read more]

For me, it’s not the cold (I can deal with cold, it’s really hot summers – like the ones we have here in Baltimore – that I can’t fucking stand) but it’s the lack of large cities and the geographic isolation. I’m a city mouse, I need to be near things! But other than that, Iceland sounds like paradise.

I’m from the tropics. It hit 12’C last week and we all froze. At least hot summers mean lots of time on the water and at the beach.
Here politics are crazy, the “Liberal” party is socially conservative and the leader a misogynistic Catholic. The Labor party (spelt the American way for kicks) is holding onto its government with the aid of the…[Read more]

Yeah, I know Baltimore is not really that hot by a lot of people’s standards, but I’m from Detroit – I’m used to summers where, while super-humid, it rarely goes above 100 F. My first summer here was last year, and there were weeks where it never went below 90. And my parents’ house (thank god I have my own apartment now) didn’t have central…[Read more]

I am focused on the 2011 gubernatorial races! Exciting times! I am biased because I am currently working on one of them. Which? I will never tell! I do try to keep up with what Congress is doing and, you know, actual governing, but I mostly just like electoral politics. I think the entrenched Dems vs. Repubs mentality is everything that’s wrong…[Read more]

I’m a Democrat though personally I feel like I am too liberal for them and wished there was a viable party that better matched my views. I much prefer multi-party to two-party systems. Regardless, I get what you mean about how the system is fun in a kind of crazy, dramatic way. Electoral politics has a very high-school-drama-ish feel sometimes.
-
Yeah, I am definitely more liberal than Democrats. Especially in any of the damn states with 2011 governor’s races! That’s part of why the system is so flawed — it’s better to vote in lockstep with something you only marginally agree with in order to block the thing you definitely don’t agree with. There’s no point in even trying to get what you…[Read more]

Yeah I currently live in Maryland and I like Governor O’Malley, but I’m from Michigan originally and I’m so angry at the doucheface that they elected this year. He is a teacher-hater and the only reason he doesn’t get more attention is because Wisconsin is soaking up all the attention in that region as far as crazy teacher-hating governors go.…[Read more]
