Bush Wins! For Best Villain, That Is

It looks like we have some voters for Bush outside of the U.S., and they seem to have the right idea. Readers of a British magazine have rated President Bush as thus year’s top screen villain for his appearance in Michael Moore’s documentary, “Fahrenheit 9/11.” So while Laura’s winning votes for her cookies, her hubby’s winning his own votes for being evil. I love it.
Bush beat a handful of other nominees, including Doctor Octopus in “Spiderman 2,” Leatherface in the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” Gollum from “Lord of the Rings” and Darryl Hannah’s character, Elle Driver, in “Kill Bill 2.”
Almost 10,000 people voted in the poll conducted by Total Film magazine. For this win, I ...

Politics and Cookies

In an article in the Post-Standard yesterday titled, “Chocolate Chunks Sway Voters,” you can only guess what that means. That’s right, it’s a Candidates’ Wives Cookie Bake-Off! You have got to be shitting me.
No, unfortunately not. Apparently the newspaper took a poll of Central New Yorkers on their preference between Teresa Heinz Kerry’s pumpkin spice cookies and Laura Bush’s oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies.
“The cookies were educational projects for schools, classes and social agencies. The idea was to have fun and focus on the events of the presidential election. The cookie votes were cast strictly on taste. More than 400 people took the time to let us know what their taste buds selected.”
Wow. I’m all ...

Women can’t afford another four years

As we’ve reported before, there’s only one choice next Tuesday when it comes to equal pay for women.
Women’s Enews took a look at the candidates recently, showing how each one could potentially hurt—or help—their pocketbooks.
The article notes that working women represent almost 65 million votes, yet these women still earn less than men in every state.
The wage gap for women (contested by a freaky few) is still at the very sad 76 cents for every dollar earned by a man.
Women’s Enews author Robin Hindery makes the very good point that despite his W Stands for Women nonsense, Bush “makes no mention of the wage gap in his official ...

NY ruling a victory for domestic violence victims

New York mothers who are victims of intimate partner violence can rest a little easier—the state’s highest court ruled yesterday that women should not lose custody of their children because of their partner’s violence.
The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) in New York City has had a policy of removing children from a home where domestic violence is occurring, even if the children aren’t being physically abused. Domestic Violence groups contend that this policy unfairly punishes the mother for a crime that her partner is committing.
But the Court of Appeals ruled unanimously yesterday that the policy violates state laws, after three abused women who had their children taken away from them under the accusation of neglect ...

Bush’s last ditch effort for women’s votes

From the Sun Sentinel in south Fla.—most disturbing opening paragraph of an article, ever:
First daughters Jenna and Barbara Bush came to Miami on Monday with a new twist on a familiar plea: vote for my dad because he has been good to women.
Yeah, Bush has been great for women. He takes those pesky reproductive rights off your hands, and makes sure that you’re not bothered by the annoyance of things like equal pay and affordable child care. Cause who needs those bothers?!
Jenna went on to say that her dad “is open-minded…He also listens to us and gives us room to develop our own ideas and opinions.” But not your own choices, Jenna. ...
