This is going to be a rather short diary. I don’t know who’s gonna read it, but I have a very good idea of who is gonna flag it. To them I say: Kick Rocks! and Have at it! To everyone else that doesn’t get all butt-hurt when uncomfortable truths and opinions about people in general, and women particualr, who happen to be Jewish, please read until the end; it won’t take long, promise. I have attached what I hope is an article from Wonkette, a groovy website that I subscribe to with people that are smart, funny and much more liberal and understanding of their privilege than the folks on this site have become. These folks actually do the work of understanding White Privilege in all its iterations, even as it applies to our good Jewish community. But I digress…

OK. So this is my 3rd feeble attempt at a diary. Only because I have waited for someone to post a diary about the meet-up. It hasn't happened yet, so... Because no one has, I will post the pics I took from the meetup. Please forgive me in advance, and help me in identifying the people I don't know or can't remember their names. Also forgive the blurry pics as I am extremely new to this. (I should be better at this, and I will get better. Practice and all that...) Thank you so much, VetWife for opening your home to us. It was great meeting you SemDem; I hope your wife is feeling better. It was awesome meeting you OleHippieChick; told you I was gonna post your pic! Pictures are below the fold:

So I've been a long time lurker, semi frequent commentator, and one time diarist (that is I have written exactly one diary). But something has changed with me these last 5 years. Of course I'm beaming with pride at having been an active part of the campaign to elect and re-elect our POTUS. But my involvement in the political process has made me realize just how fucked up it is for people of color, and how disenfranchised a great many of us are here in the great state of Florida. So I have decided to do everything in my power to make our current governor a single term one. Since his election my poor state has been subjected to some of the most horrendous policies imaginable. This is unacceptable. And I'm beginning the process of learning to speak out to effect change in my state. To that end a Democratic rep, Kathy Castor (FL-14), has elected to continue to gut vital services to the already suffering constituents in her district (Tampa-St. Pete) by voting for this horrendous farm bill along with 88 other Dem Reps. Admittedly the quick cursory glance I did of her voting record shows for the most part she's mostly rank and file, further I am not even in her district (I live in South Florida). But I believe that she is mistaken on this farm bill concession, and I'm determined to speak out on it. I solicit the help of all my fellow Florida Kossacks to help me with the next steps in becoming more active here in south Florida and getting out the progressive message. I also welcome all constructive criticism of this short (2nd) diary.

Thanks

P.S. - I love this place. I've learned so much from the wonderful, intelligent people here.

From Mother Jones:

Obama-haters, conspiracy theorists, and old fashioned Constitution devotees that question Barack Obama's eligibility for the White House due to his birth status reached their collective apogee Friday morning in front of the Supreme Court. The justices were considering whether to put on the docket a New Jersey case that alleges Barack Obama was a dual American and British citizen at birth, and that he thus fails the ill-defined "natural-born citizen" standard demanded of presidents by Article II of the Constitution. Legal experts doubt that the case will move forward, but that didn't stop roughly 20 people from gathering on the steps of the Supreme Court building to wave flags, pray, say the pledge of allegiance, and generate as much media attention as they could.
