It’s time for this. I’ve hit overload and about to blow a gasket. When I reference “you” in this rant, “you” is directed to the people who are completely against any new gun laws and regulations who are raising a big stink. More…

It’s a sad day in America. North Carolina’s Amendment One has passed 13
Today our country – which was created as a Democracy – just moved one step closer into evolving into a Theocracy. North Carolina’s Amendment One passed.

The Straw Man Comes to Zuccotti Park by Naomi Wolf | Photos from November 15 Reply
Written by: Naomi Wolf Nov. 16, 2011
Yesterday morning, when I learned that Zuccotti Park had been cleared overnight by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg — who justified his action in a statement that cited health and safety concerns — the first thing I did was call my lawyer.

But my partner and I had already been arrested on Oct. 19 for standing peacefully on Hudson Street after informing protesters outside an event I was attending of their right to assemble. The wonderful National Lawyers Guild advised us that we would probably be O.K. — the New York police department would have to alert us before a second arrest.

Here are a few photos from the wake. Full photo gallery available on my photo site Motley Photos.
