    The MILFy Way

    Her politics of racism, hate, support for Big Oil, the Alaskan Independence Party, all make her as un-MILFY as is possible, for me. Add to that her bizarre religious practises, her lying at will, even her backstabbing of her Republican patron in Alaska, all make her so repulsive as a human being, she’s the quintessential MI (would never, ever, even if she was the last woman on earth)LF.

    HHS Moves to Define Contraception as Abortion

     The media keeps referring to Bush as a ‘Lame Duck President’, but this is just the sort of damage to freedom that people can expect from the Bush/Cheney White House before a new president is sworn into office in January.  They are expecting us to let down our guard.

    I think we can expect an acceleration of unfathomable, unreasonable, unstomachable executive orders and administrative rulings in the final days of the Bush administration.

    The Democratic Congress, elected to a majority in ‘06 to end the Iraq war, has taken a huge bet in not impeaching and not confronting Bush and the GOP agenda in order to keep approval numbers low enough for a sweep in November. It’s a huge doubling down – gambling with nothing less than our democracy.
