Oprah Doprah

I Blame The Patriarchy reads Oprah. Much patriarchy-blaming, gnashing of teeth and hilarity ensues.
I have only one thing to add:
Oprah, buy me a house (taxes too!), and all will be forgiven.

Why I’m a Green, Example 3,547

Digby noted on Friday (during my news blackout while attending the annual Greens meeting) that not one Democratic member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee showed up for the hearing to review the confirmation of Karen Hughes to handle public relations for the State Department.
As usual, the Democrats have their heads up their asses at exactly the wrong… Read the rest
