Bill is such a Pill

">Link

I can not even comprehend this man's mind. Does he not know, from his Omnipotent anchor seat of world wide wisdom that a woman's ability to control her own fertility is THE NUMBER ONE ECONOMIC INDICATOR for her ability to be self sufficient? Or that suppilying leterious old men with unnatural virility will eventually jump up and bite him in his "don't raise my taxes" wallet?

It seems to me the anti social program- anti welfare- anti abortion crowd would be
all for PREVENTIVE MEDICAL HEALTH CARE for women...

Somebody PLEASE chime in and help me get a grip on this. I am literally drowning in astonishment.

NOT COOL



This woman might just become the next Rosa Parks. If McCain is going to run on a "Mavrick" image, someone might want to tell him to quit imitating the Bush administration.

Pay attention People:



Amy has a few things to say about citizen involvement in the media and Democracy.
Pay attention People: She is talking to YOU.

Education reform

The Strickland Administration has set up 12 regional PBS broadcasts/web casts with a live audience of invited guests to discuss education reform. In concert with these broadcasts, there will be “watch parties”. Anyone can host a watch party by registering on the website www.conversationoneducation.org.

It is obvious that education reform and school funding reform are issues that must be considered together; hence, it would be prudent for school district leaders to organize a watch party in each school building or at least in each school district. The Governor’s office indicates, “all feedback will be considered equally, whether from the live broadcast or the watch parties.” This is an opportunity to be heard!

In 1913, Governor James Cox proclaimed November 14 as “School Survey Day” and urged parents, teachers, pupils and patrons to hold a meeting in every school building in the state in the afternoon or evening. His proclamation also called for an “Educational Congress” to be held in Columbus on December 5 and 6, 1913. The closing words of his proclamation said, “Let it be a day of genuine awakening. The necessity and opportunity of the hour call for it.”

The 1913 “grassroots” involvement in the School Survey Day and Educational Congress resulted in monumental school reform legislation in 1914.

In 1997 the Ohio Supreme Court ordered the state to give the school funding system a complete systematic overhaul. The “overhaul” might just emerge from the current effort.

Dates, times and places of the Governor’s meetings may be found on the website.

Of good deeds and wishes

Here's an interesting web site for good deed doers and well wishers: The Hunger Site is a cool portal where you can send free e-cards, buy some great products, or simply click through the site to help feed the poor. Yup, it's that easy, just click a button and the ad sponsors donate money to feed starving children. No catch, no strings, no B.S.

Ya can't find an excuse not to help when it's THAT easy.

And while you're there, you might find a really nice pair of fair trade sandals, or a fabulously cool necklace like this:



(HINT: if any of my cyber friends out there really love me...this is what I want for Christmas.)
