Where is that darn bush anyway? Not that I really want him to do anything, except take the blame for all of his shame.

See, all it takes it good old American ingenuity. Afghanistan will be a peice of cake. Or is it an Onion.

I have never thought that this world was the correct one for me. When I was little, I was told what I could and could not do because of my gender  My landlady despises me, I am fairly certain that a former boss hated me, and throughout my life various others have chosen to dislike me; all when they find out that I am a lesbian. I can always tell the moment it turns.

I see people treated differently because of the color of their skin and so many can never reach their goals because they simply do not have the means to get there.

We can try to imagine what it would be like to be another race or gender, but we can never really understand the experiences and consequenses of being different. I will never know what it is like to grow up and live as a man or a person of color or share my life with a man because I am a white lesbian.

So few benefit as the many suffer, and much of the benefits we do receive, come at such a devastating cost to our world.

Bwahahahahahahahehehheheh!!!!! I am in love with Joan Walsh. I saw this live earlier and watched her swat that smarmy, irritating, pretentious, hypocritical little troll across the room. I LOVE YOU JOAN WALSH AND TMP!!! I wish I could show you the entire exchange. It was priceless.

I think I love Sarah Palin as well! At least Headzup’s version of her.

All the news that will fit into 100 seconds.

This is sooooooo freaking cool. I mean it, absolutely no snark involved, but you must watch all of it.

Thank you TPMtv.

Thank you Headzup.

Authors note: I wrote and posted this at MyDD earlier this summer in response to another bloggers question about what I did as a Child Protection Investigator. As it seems a bit slow on the blogs during the holiday week, I thought I would post something I wrote when I could still put more than five sentences together.

Please note that this is a very long and deeply personal diary. If you are not into that sort of thing, please press the back arrow.

I have long believed that we are more alike than not, and that our stories may have relevance to others. I also think, to simplify C. Wright Mills, that the personal is political, and our lives are interwoven with personal and political experiences. I am certain this is true, even if we are not always aware of this. So if you are interested, you are welcome to follow me down the rabbit hole…

A fellow blogger requested that I tell her about my job, and perhaps give an example of an actual case. I am unable to give you any real case situations, because the privacy of our clients is one of the most important things we must protect. It is also (thank goodness), against the law to reveal any confidential information. However, I can tell you what I do, and give you some general idea of the kinds of cases I have dealt with. The last half of this diary deals specifically with some of my experiences in child protection.

Busy, busy day. All in 100 seconds!

TPM, all the news you can use in 100 seconds. Just what the short term attention spanners need.

I am struck again by the tone of the media in regards to President-e Obama’s choice of Hillary Clinton as our next Secretary of State. I do not watch CNN often and never turn to Fox as I find their newa teams to be inadequite. I do watch MSNBC. I am not always happy with the station, but am usually able to discern the bullshit from relevant information.
