Helping out the shelter animals

You might recall that when Kate and I had our flight to Pittsburgh canceled (resulting in a reschedule for the next AM, arriving just in time for my panel at Netroots Nation), we said we blew off steam by doing something productive — going to the store and buying needed…

NC wingnuts and health care – ‘no pubic option’

Perhaps it is about the state of education in NC, or a reflection of the right-wing’s obsession with naughty bits…you decide.

First Netroots Nation video up

Marc and I wandered around Netroots Nation asking people to offer their views on reproductive rights.

Travesty!

Sorry to come from an on-and-off Netroots Nation plus moving-inspired break to write about vaccinations again, but seriously, there is something screwy going on with the anti-vaccination crankery out there. At Netroots Nation, the most expensive booth—easily the most expensive booth—in the exhibit hall was an anti-vaccination booth. It was…
