I am a news junkie. I admit it. And I listen to NPR radio most of the night…. the babble in the background helps me fall asleep – except when it comes to politics. This year, politics is BEEEZAR! I can’t believe how scattered, hypocritical, vulgar, rude, uncouth, out of touch these candidates and their compatriots have become. Of course I’m talking Republicans… thankfully it seems there will only be one choice on the other side… but this crop of crazies vying for the top slot in the political landscape are just tossing my chips and challenging my tolerance level to new levels.
What are they thinking? As you know if you read my blog, I’ve kept my blogging focus on foolish things like mattresses and clementine fruits that go bad and the occasional twat and twiddle… but this latest round of contraceptive controversy of political bickering is bogus. BOGUS. And silent I shall no longer be.
The last straw came yesterday when the House Republicans had a hearing on the issue… let’s discuss contraceptives for women and why they should all be banned. And the panel to be interviewed… all clergyMEN. Got that… MEN. All in black with little clerical collars and hats… Who are we kidding?
I am steamed. Get over it guys. You don’t want the government to grow too big, too intrusive? You don’t want your personal freedom, your rights to be trampled by big government? Then get the heck out of my bedroom!!! and my doctor’s office.
Ok. That’s all. I’m going to stop now. Comment below. Your turn to rant.
I am soooo fed up with all of this. Is it time that we come together as women to protest as “Occupy Our Bodies”?
You go, girl! I hope that OOB goes viral!
It seems the protests of the women of Virginia were loud enough to cause the otherwise determined governor to pause before pen to paper to approve this new law. I guess he’s out of contention foe the VP slot on the upcoming R ticket. Thank Gawd.
