This video is so very powerful. The monologue performed is concise, plain, and easy to understand, but packs the punch that basic truths often do. Please share it freely, as the people who created this, did so with that goal in mind.

In fact, one creators said this on his Youtube channel: Views = Power, so please share, tweet, email and spread this video! Ask your friends and family to do the same and if you have a favorite women’s group or political organization, share it with them too!

Sexist Ads of 2012

Sex sells, so they say. You can see that evidenced everywhere.

Heck, I even employ a saucy little play on words with the title of my website, Live Nude Politics as a way to grab a readers attention.  But, some of the imagery present day advertisers  use is neither fun, pleasant, or harmless.  Some commercials resemble soft core porn.  You would think that only 18 year old boys have any money to buy anything, judging by the visuals that predominate quite a bit of marketing campaigns.

Ann Romney, First Lady of the GOP

I was thinking of all the actors on the stage of Decision 2012, including the wives of the presidential and vice presidential nominees in the aftermath of President Obama’s victory.

Ann Romney immediately springs to mind as one of the powerful tools in the Romney/Ryan tool box.  She is attractive, well spoken, aristocratic, by all accounts an excellent mother.  Her battle with Multiple Sclerosis, her dressage therapy, and unwavering support of her husband has made her a media darling.

I don’t care what anyone says, America loves a good O!

Or, at least I do. Watching this speech, I fell in love with my president all over again. I’ve posted President Barack Obama’s victory speech here, just in case you missed it last night just like I did. Enjoy!

The Agony and the Ecstasy of President Obama’s New Term

I woke this morning to the good news.  President Obama had one a hard fought, long battle to stay in the White House for four more years.  I cannot stay up late, I have to man my post at work very early, so the news came as a pleasant start to my day.

As someone who believes in good sportsmanship, I refrained from crowing my pleasure, only giving in to one positive tweet:

    ceceliamorgan Woke up to my preferred president! Color me optimistic!

After all the ups and downs, dog-whistles, and ridiculousness of the GOP Primary, and horribly divisive Romney campaign filled with fact averse statements, and the most pumped up media coverage of a presidential race to date, America chose to stay the course. Continue reading →

Voting For Election 2012, Check!

November 6, 2012 is finally here.

Election day at last!!!  Like a good little citizen, I went to my local polling place, waited in line, got my ballot, made my selection, and exercised my civic duty and precious right to vote.  The whole process took less than twenty minutes to my surprise, perhaps due to the fact my district enjoyed a short ballot this year.  I hope your experience was as pleasant!  Now all that’s left to do is wait for the results, the continuation of the Obama administration, or a less clear path under Mitt Romney.

I really got a kick out of the people from other nations, whose curiosity about the way Americans vote, made me think about the whole process in a new way.
