I took a sick day yesterday. I have an ear infection from that horrible cold I had last month. The good part is that I went to a pharmacy, described my symptoms and was prescribed an antibiotic, ear drops for my ears and anti-dizzy medicine which is probably for my blondeness.

Homophobia: GOP Talking Point

At a time when gays have been gaining victories across the country, the Republican Party in Montana still wants to make homosexuality illegal.

The party adopted an official platform in June that keeps a long-held position in support of making homosexual acts illegal, a policy adopted after the Montana Supreme Court struck down such laws in 1997.

Tax Cut Tomfoolery
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Bush’s tax cuts are due to expire.
Their effects were quite bad — even dire.
The deficit climbed,
The economy slimed.
So why are the Dems under fire?

These cuts were a GOP plan
By the millionaire’s tax-cutting clan.
They promised a boost,
But the tax cuts produced
A big mess. Why should Dems be a fan?

Yet Republicans push and cajole —
More cuts for the rich is their goal.
They make stale, hollow claims
To bolster their aims —
No remorse for the good times they stole.

Pinhead Patriot: John McCain

Last week Harry Reid announced that he will insert the DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act into a defense authorization bill, granting permanent residency to young undocumented immigrants who honorably serve in the armed forces for two years. This infuriated Republicans, including John McCain, who called it “onerous” and “a pure political act” despite co-sponsoring the same bill in 2005, 2006, and 2007. (Colin Powell, still technically a Republican, approves of the proposal.)

Subject: Your PO Box

The only mail in your PO Box was a bizarre letter from a religious nut in Miami -- four handwritten pages urging you to read the King James version of the Bible. No name of course. I saved it so you can read it, although it would probably make you more nauseous than you currently feel.

Didn't he specify which of the 200+ Bible interpretations of the King James version he wants me to read?

Oy Vey. Someone who would take the time to handwrite four pages is worrisome.
