I know that there is a lot of serious shit going on right now: Kiev; Caracas; freaky weather; just to name a few.

So, this diary is meant to be a break - a break from the crappy to enjoy a moment of pleasure.

It's National Drink Wine Day!

It's been quite warm here in Tucson lately, so I'm enjoying a lovely glass of portuguese vihno verde.

What's in your goblet?

Holy fucking crank dancing christ on a cracker! Not satisfied with the draconian legislation outlawing abortions after 20 weeks and effectively shutting down all but 5 women's health clinics that provide abortion services, three Texas refuckingpublicans have proffered the following:

Senator Flake, just what the hell is going on in your home?

First, your teenage son, Tanner, proudly posts a series of offensive tweets and screenshots of his nom de guerre of "Ni$$erkiller" for some stupid video game. And now, he's performing a mock suicide on You Tube.

I...SHIT...YOU...NOT

Scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed today, I came across this little gem provided by one of my "Likes"

Organic Eden Foods' quiet right-wing agenda
A crunchy, natural food company marketed to liberals discreetly sues to stop covering employees' contraception

Intrigued, I clicked on the linky goodness. What I read, not so good. More below the cheeto. Read More

He was 22, my brother-in-law's oldest child, and we don't know why. We're waiting for the results of the coroner's inquest, but for now we keep asking, "Why?"

Un-frickin-believable!

In what can only be called a massively stupid move on the part of the DNC, they backed down from properly removing all references to God from the DNC platform. For f-ck's sake:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A rare unscripted moment at the Democratic National Convention here Wednesday resulted in an embarrassing moment for the party that is certain to be used in Republican television ads over the next two months.
After they took heat for omitting any reference to "God" in their platform, and for eliminating language from the 2008 platform that identified Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Democrats tried to add the language back into their party platform with a voice vote.

Idiots. Read More

IMHO, the Democratic National Convention needs to pull out of Charlotte

The 2012 Democratic National Convention is slated to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina this September.

Given tonight's passage of Amendment 1, I think the DNC needs to rethink its choice.

To whom it may concern:

I just read your highly insulting tweet regarding Hilary Rosen, and I am livid!

In your short, snotty little tweet, you have reiterated an extremely hurtful opinion and viewpoint about adoption that I spent years having to deal with growing up.

Follow me over the squiggle for my story.

First, a little background. I'm a married mother of two wonderful boys, aged 9 and 7. They normally walk home from school, but today, I was picking them up because my youngest son had a dentist appointment right after school.

I left my house around 2:30 to go pay my water bill. My congress critter's local office is located in our city hall, so after I paid my bill, I decided to stop in for a brief chat.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I live in NM-02, home of Steve Pearce.

It's Monday night - Monday Night Football Night. In our household, that means an easy meal, eaten in the living room, while watching football on the teevee.

How freakin' american is that?

Yet, this evening, as I open the cans of soup, as I plop a pad of butter into the hot pan, I keep asking myself the same question: How many will eat as well and as satisfying as I will tonight?

in Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little lame baloonman
whistles far and wee

and eddyandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old baloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and
the
goat-footed

baloonMan whistles
far
and
wee

First, a little comic relief:

Just came across this tidbit in the NYT:

Numbers of Children of Whites Falling Fast
By SABRINA TAVERNISE
Published: April 6, 2011
WASHINGTON — America’s population of white children, a majority now, will be in the minority during this decade, sooner than previously expected, according to a new report.

The GOP must be shitting a brick.
