Take Your Daughters to the Polls!

Maybe you're like me and totally, um, don't have kids, but this is still a great thing to pass on to all the parents you know! The Oklahoma Women's Network Blog is promoting a White House Project campaign, and I LOVE this idea... and that picture!

We Talked About It, Like, Three Hours Ago

Voto Latino produced a telenovela series about the importance of voting, and it's FREAKING FABULOUS! Rosario Dawson and Wilmer Valderrama kind of make my life. Check out the first two episodes below. AND DON'T FORGET TO VOTE. Bravo, amigos!!

Anti-Americanism: Where Have We Heard This Before?

Crooks and Liars pointed out a great segment from Hardball, where Michelle Bachmann, R-Meen-ay-SOH-duh, brings us back to Joe McCarthy.



No one will possibly take this seriously, right? Or will they? At this point, the American public shocks me anew every single day. Not enough people will pay attention to the fact that the people making these statements are in our government and making decisions that affect our everyday lives. People actually listen to this radical BS and take it seriously, and that's what has been making me so sad during this election.

Our leaders need to be held up to certain standards; the public has a choice for who they elect, if they care enough to be involved in making that choice. Like Neyo said on a radio ad in my car yesterday, y'all can't complain if y'all don't do nothin'!
