I know that many people in the US are scared out of their wits that the US is “going the way of Sweden” and turning into a socialist society. I almost laugh out loud every time I hear that. For starters…the US is so FAAAAARRRR from being a socialist nation it’s not even possible. Secondly, going the way of Sweden wouldn’t really be so bad if you consider...

– John Boehner Defends Crying & Smoking
Funny!
Funny because abortion is a legal medical procedure, and yet John Boehner cannot stop bringing it up! For a vote!
Because I’m sure John Boehner thinks that health insurance should cover him, even though he smokes! And I agree! It should! Smoking is...

I’m working on the short list of Democrats who have co-sponsored HR3, calling their offices and leaving comments for them. I didn’t do a good job on the first call — I was nervous, I stuttered, and my message was scattered — so here’s the script I worked out, which you can also use if you like:

sadydoyle:
I get it. I have social anxiety, and the most extreme part of it is focused almost entirely on phones. (It’s a long story; for people who know the details, I joke that I have Post-Traumatic Phone Disorder.) I still think phoning is a great way to personalize the opposition, affect a bigger change…

Found this link over at Bitch and thought I would share it. I don’t read much YA anymore because I think I’m technically a little old for it but I might say screw it and look into these reads anyhow :)
Fuck Yeah This List. Have I mentioned lately that everyone should read The Hunger Games series?
