Rant scratchy: Truth or War

Posted by Me Missy on Nov 10, 2009 in Links, Politics

My number two rant about certain conservative politics:
Jesus loves you. God Bless America.
Let’s go to war.
I see a lot of people these days talking about how we shouldn’t have gone to war in Iraq, and strangely, some of them are the same people who accused me of disloyalty and being unpatriotic to my country [...]

Top rants for this November — Rant ichi

Posted by Me Missy on Nov 9, 2009 in Links, Politics

Lately I’ve been looking for a sewing machine, and in doing so I’ve come across a lot of conservative (female) blogs. I find it curious to read these types of blogs, since this is my mirror image — so much the same, and yet everything flipped the other direction. So, I decided to [...]

Saving Handmade Toys

Posted by Me Missy on Mar 28, 2009 in Links, Politics

I’ve been noticing this issue about handmade toys floating around the blogosphere and I finally figured out what it is: The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). Apparently this bill was written with the issues about lead in toys from China in mind, but what it does is force anyone selling a toy to [...]

I <3 The Onion

Posted by Me Missy on Dec 17, 2008 in Uncategorized

I just spent a fair bit of time discussing economics with my friend, LeeAnn, who lives overseas.  She says that the discussion in Japan is whether or not the U.S. caused the worldwide recession, or whether it was just one of the biggest dominoes to fall and thus has generated the most attention.  The U.S. [...]

Idealism

Posted by Me Missy on Nov 6, 2008 in Links

The election is over, the polls have closed and Barack Hussein Obama is now the President-elect of the United States.
It still feels dreamlike; Obama has won, the Democrats have overtaken the House and Senate, and, even among states, there has been a lot of movement to the left. I’ve gotten congratulatory phone calls from [...]

The Way Things Work: Liberals and Conservatives

Posted by Me Missy on Oct 18, 2008 in Links

From Jonathan Haidt: “Everyone thinks they are right.” The interesting thing is that he asks “why” and has the results from 25,000 polled respondents. An interesting and entertaining lecture:

A Tale of Two Viewpoints

Posted by Me Missy on Oct 18, 2008 in Links

Marti got me a Starbucks coffee this morning, and we were both amused by the quote on his cup. I took a look at mine and thought it was good, too, considering the amount of political debating I’ve been (compulsively) doing. (I really cannot help myself). Anyway, here they are:
The Way I See [...]

My Kind of Principles

Posted by Me Missy on Sep 19, 2008 in Politics

Marti and I spent a long time tonight talking about politics, about who is principled and who isn’t, or if “principled” even really applies to politicians. But one thing is clear: I’m a Democrat because of my principles, and because I believe that more Democrats share those principles than Republicans. It took me [...]

Political Humor

Posted by Me Missy on Sep 7, 2008 in Politics

I get wayyyy to worked up over politics, and tonight, just as I was fuming over certain things (like why teenage pregnancy is suddenly no big deal to certain political groups) I saw this great video by Steve Colbert.

I also found a supremely interesting article by the associated press, which can be read here, about [...]
