Government run on greed is not good.
My dear friends Manny Cruz and Valerie Revering are featured in a compelling New Times article by Amy Silverman. It’s about their 5 year old daughter Jessica, known to everyone as Rocky, and their ordeal trying to get her the extensive and comprehensive care she needs. And so when Rocky’s mom, Valerie Revering, told Sue […]
Al Melvin’s bigoted tweet shows, once again, that the problem is on one side. And it’s not just the politicians.
Arizona State Senator Al Melvin posted that this afternoon. (Cynthia, who tweeted “Amen!” in approval to Melvin basically declaring America a conservative Christian-only zone, describes herself as “Christian,Mother,Native Texan,Student,Abstinence Advocate(4 all ages) Pro-Israel-No Profanity Zone” on her profile.)

Rachel Ehmke’s parents say she had suffered months of abuse at school: The constant name-calling started sometime in the fall, Ehmke said. “She’d say you’d walk by girls in school and they’d holler out things like “slut.” Stuff like this.

It’s like when townsfolk get out the pitchforks and torches and try to shut down the local […]
