On 22nd Thought

The keyword searches leading people to this whole 22nd House District story are repulsive. Trying to get information from any source has been near impossible. I’m done with the coverage. I’m hoping Manchester is eventually absorbed into the Ravenstahl district and that’s my final word. Except for this – every so called “progressive” should choke […]

To Protect My Body, I Must Have a Voice – An Open Letter to Western PA Representatives

Dear Jake Wheatley, Adam Ravenstahl, Harry Readshaw, Dom Costa, Dan Frankel, Joe Preston, Dan Deasy, and Paul Costa. Gentlemen. As you are aware, my House District (22) has no Representative in your august body. Nor is there any realistic hope that we will have a special election in April to ensure we are represented in […]

Rick Santorum. The Big Sigh.

Rick Santorum. The Big Sigh.

OMG. I can’t believe Rick Santorum is still relevant … I mean LEADING candidate at this point. What is wrong with America? The man lost his Senate seat by 18 points. I”m not even sure how to say this. He’s nuts. He’s absolutely beyond the normal crazy and I know crazy. His views are based […]

Pennsylvania’s 22nd House District Endorsement – WTF?

This past Sunday, the Allegheny County Democratic Committee endorsed people.  Yes, they picked Altmire over Critz which we will visit in another post. But I’m concerned about my district, the 22nd district in the House of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, formerly occupied by Chelsa Wagner. Up until Sunday, I could not get a whiff of […]

Santorum Heads to Washington State – Oh God

The Washington primary is set for March 3, 2012. Maine, Arizona and Michigan could knock Santorum out, but Washington is fertile ground for his particular brand of vile. Washington is poised to legalize marriage equality with the bill waiting for the Governor’s signature. Can you see the collision and hate rhetoric coming? Do you think […]

Is This Disenfranchisement or What? The PA House 22nd District Loses Again

Is This Disenfranchisement or What? The PA House 22nd District Loses Again

Caught this today: But state House speaker Sam Smith says his immediate problem is that he must call special elections for six vacant state House seats and is stuck with an outdated map that is “so wildly out of proportion -– one person, one vote-wise, population-wise -– that I don’t want to be calling special […]

15 New Jersey Girl Speaks OUT for Her Fathers – Go Madison

Washington is poised to legalize marriage equality. New Jersey is in hot debate over that very topic. Garden State Equality has the latest.  In the Garden State, lawmakers are working to lock down the number of votes needed to override Gov. Chris Christie’s expected veto of a bill permitting gay marriage. New Jersey Democrats believe they have […]

“Homo Outburst” – Romney Glitter Bombed

From CBS News comes report that Romney was glitter bombed today during an appearance in Eagan, Minnesota. He brushed it of (literally – ha) as “confetti” celebrating his win, but you can imagine how smooth that came across.

White House Kicks Off LGBT Focused Conferences in Philadelphia

White House Kicks Off LGBT Focused Conferences in Philadelphia

Again from the Blade: The White House announced on Friday it plans to host a series of LGBT conferences throughout the country in early 2012 so the public can “hear directly” from the administration on efforts “to ensure health, well-being, security, justice, and equality for LGBT Americans.” In a statement, the White House identified the White […]
