I am a first-year law student at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. You may know us from our football team. (No, I still don't want to talk about the Arkansas game.) But what you may not know about Louisiana's capital is that this place is full to the brim with unmitigated right-wing christofascist whackjobs of the first degree. Follow me below the jump for the ridiculous pseudo-controversy that's drawn me away from my studies and into the company of people who understand...

My husband and I are moving to Louisiana in three weeks, and we're moving right into the middle of a gubernatorial race. I was expecting weirdness in politics; it is Louisiana, for heaven's sake. But I have never faced the kind of political dilemma we have on our hands here...

From the first-floor apartment of Guest C&J Regional Outpost #612, in the northernmost reaches of the Commonwealth of Virginia...

In honor of the 4th of July, a thought about war, courtesy of Hawkeye Pierce:

"I just don't know why they're shooting at us. All we want to do is bring them democracy and white bread. Transplant the American dream. Freedom. Achievement. Hyperacidity. Affluence. Flatulence. Technology. Tension. The inalienable right to an early coronary sitting at your desk while plotting to stab your boss in the back. That's entertainment."

Cheers and Jeers Tuesday starts after the jump... (swish) right NOW! (ding!)

In 1990, when I was nine years old, my mother volunteered for Don Siegelman's first gubernatorial campaign. Since I was old enough to be of some help, I was enlisted to do the little things around the campaign office: stapling signs, stuffing envelopes, etc. It was my first dose of political activism, and I was addicted from day one.

This is usually what I say to people who say to me, "So, did you hear what Bush said today?" I mean, we all know what fresh hell the charlatan-in-chief unleashes on us every day. But last night it was personal: he was in my personal hometown, Mobile, Alabama.

From dictionary.com, "helpmeet," a bastardization of "helpmate:"

help·mate –noun

a companion and helper.

a wife or husband.

anything that aids or assists, esp. regularly: This calculator is my constant helpmate.

Sounds like a pretty nice concept, doesn't it? A companion, a helper, anything that aids or assists. We should all be so lucky in our lives. But lately, I've encountered a situation in my own life that's reinforcing every ugly, nasty connotation of the word, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it...

Last night, I caught a small piece of Matthew Rothschild's editorial on the death of Gerald Ford while driving home from work. Also, last night, Keith Olbermann devoted nearly his entire show to an analysis and retrospective of Ford's presidency. The two pieces were radically different in tone and tenor, though the conclusions were basically the same.

I had to go to California for business this week. I left Sunday afternoon from Dulles Airport here in the metro DC area, and returned yesterday afternoon. In between, I had something confirmed to me that I'd known all along, but didn't really 100% believe until I saw it in practice. Read More

I know this makes the husband and me latte-sipping, freedom-hating, ivory-tower elitists, but we're going on our Pope Benedict-approved vacation over Labor Day weekend. I am extremely excited, because we're visiting our neighbors to the North, Canada. I've never left the country before. Follow me for why I'm wasting your time with descriptions of my plans.

UPDATE - if anyone else sees fit to comment here, I'd like to ask that no one else call my husband and me prostitutes. It's just not very cool. Thank you. Now, on with the show:

My husband and I have a very dear friend with a VERY wingnutty dad. We spend a lot of time with their family, and are quite fond of them. Lately, though, we've found ourselves in a bit of a social/moral pickle. It's been a pretty hefty bone of contention between the husband and me, so I thought I'd throw it out there and ask my favorite group of 'net denizens. Read More
