Charlotte soaked with rain last day of DNC

Of course, Tea Party and GOP nay sayers said the reason the DNC moved the final night indoors from the Panthers Stadium was because “Obama couldn’t fill the stadium.”

And now the rain shows up exactly as predicted.  Folks are getting soaked.

And silence from the Teabaggers and GOP jerks…  Silence.

Hey Rush Limbaugh – what now???

New campaign for marriage equality – The Four 2012

New campaign to support the marriage equality issues in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Check it out at www.TheFour2012.com

This clip of Amy Kremer, the chair of the Tea Party Express, using tired, repeated sound bites that even she doesn’t seem to fully understand.

Kremer’s showing here, on CNN, illustrates both the thinly veiled racism of her movement and it’s complete lack of understanding of the complexity of world affairs.

Kellie Pickler shaves her head in solidarity with best friend with cancer

Country star Kellie Pickler showed up on Good Morning America with a new look having shaved her head in solidarity with her best friend, Summer Holt Miller, who is battling cancer.

After a tumor was found in June, the mother of two underwent a double mastectomy to remove the tumor.  But she is also beginning chemotherapy to make sure the cancer is completely gone.

“Cancer does not discriminate,” Pickler said in a release. Added Miller, “If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it.”
