Maybe I should start a new series called Mudslinging. It’ll cover all the political mudslinging that doubtless will occur leading up to the presidential elections.
From Prison Planet:
NAACP President: Ron Paul Is Not A Racist
“Austin NAACP President Nelson Linder, who has known Ron Paul for 20 years, unequivocally dismissed charges that the Congressman was a racist in light of recent smear attempts, and said the reason for him being attacked was that he was a threat to the establishment.
Linder joined Alex Jones for two segments on his KLBJ Sunday show this evening, during which he commented on the controversy created by media hit pieces that attempted to tarnish Paul as a racist by making him culpable for decades old newsletter articles written by other people.
“Knowing Ron Paul’s intent, I think he is trying to improve this country but I think also, when you talk about the Constitution and you constantly criticize the federal government versus state I think a lot of folks are going to misconstrue that….so I think it’s very easy for folks who want to to take his position out of context and that’s what I’m hearing,” said Linder.”

With the US Presidential election heating up it’s time to cover voting fraud.
Found via What Really Happened:
Clear Evidence Of Widespread Vote Fraud In New Hampshire
“There were several major vote fraud issues to arise out of the New Hampshire primary revolving mainly around Ron Paul and Barack Obama, who were both seemingly cheated out of third and first places respectively as a result of rigged Diebold voting machines and deliberate malfeasance in the counting of hand-written paper ballots.”
New Hampshire Primary - ALL Diebold, ALL the Time
“It’s been nearly eight years since the debacle of Florida and nearly six since the miracle Chambliss win against Cleland. Surely we have reliable, verifiable voting systems in place? It’s been almost four years since the nationwide disaster of the 2004 election with irregularities still emerging.
Hasn’t all this been fixed?
You’d think so. But, the answer is definitely no.”
2008 New Hampshire State Primary Results
Do NH Primary Statistics Show Election Fraud?
“I don’t intend to sound off alarm bells, but the question does need to be asked, as we have seen signs of this in the past, such as in Ohio during the 2004 general election. I just spent the last two hours putting together a spreadsheet of the Democratic results of the NH primary for each town with almost all but a few towns reporting, and the results were somewhat surprising. (Note: This is also without including nearly 2500 write-ins due to time constraints.)”

A Different Kind Of Authority For Sex Bloggers
“As we sex workers, sex bloggers, and adult business folks swim in our ponds or spin in our micro universes & connect with others, we continue to build authority.”

Sex Worker profile
From Secondhand Rose:
Writer turned phone companion and conversationalist. My partner travels, so I understand the loneliness which underlies what some would call just plain old lust.
What kind of sex work are you currently doing?
A phone sex operator and (still) an erotica (and non-erotica) author. I must use different names for each ‘hat’ I wear because there is low tolerance among tribes. :sigh:
Are you active in sex worker activism?
If talking about sex work in a non-apologetic way is an act of activism, then I am an activist. If entering the words “sex worker” in online blanks for occupation, for surveys etc. counts, then I am an activist. I’d love to be able to say that I’m ‘out’ in my community and beyond, but I’m not. Even though my work is legal all over the US, it’s still not accepted; and I recognize that being ‘out’ isn’t just making a choice for me but imposing that choice on others. I’ve seen women lose their children for this (and less than this) and have no desire to taint the lives of those close to me out of a selfish notion of saying it loud and proud.
Do I wish it were different? Hell yes!
But in order for that to be a reality, we as a society need to be honest about sexuality & accept sexuality as a fact of life. Until we do that we can’t accept the ‘little facts’ along the way, such as real sex education, the truth about the validity of sex work, the real need for sex workers, and the honor & pride I/we feel with such work.
I’d like to believe that, along with doing my job well, I chip away each day — little by little — at the notion that sex is bad, dirty or unimportant.
What do you think is the best way to promote solidarity with fellow sex workers?
This is difficult & I sure hope I don’t offend anyone…
I’ve watched the feminist movement steadily lose support (and with it, ground) simply because it has difficulty rallying itself & members ’round key points. This because it is hard for one stance to be agreed upon by such a variant and variable group as “women”. The parallels here regarding sex workers are, well, rigidly similar — and scarily pointed downwards.
It’s not that I feel hopeless (about either), but leadership needs to change.
With all due respect to publications and organizations which purport to support sex workers, I have to say that I think they’ve put the horse before the cart in many cases. In order to salvage what little appeal I (may?) have at the moment, I’ll focus on how I think we can get the cart behind the horse — and get more horses pulling it too.
We need to focus on fundamental matters which affect the majority of sex workers. These are the issues sex workers have respect for &/or concern regarding, even if only out of fear. Issues of general sex & reproductive health; civil sexual rights; matters of poverty, race, & safety, especially as ‘used’ in court, are the basics. If we can’t come to any sort of consensus on these most basic issues — issues which are at the heart of getting the general population to give a damn about the rest of our issues — then that’s pretty sad. Ditto if we can’t forge relationships with other groups with the same goals. Sex workers shouldn’t make strange bedfellows, nor hop into bed too soon; but we need to start participating with society, rather than accepting the small corner relegated to us.
What project(s) are you working on now?
It looks like I’m currently working at alienating you and the rest of my colleagues. :sigh: I swear I’m not — and I’m very honored to be a part of this conversation. I just have very strong feelings about how we are going to effect any changes. I’m open to projects & persons which are willing to start at the beginning & work upwards.

Since I’m childfree I have a lot more freedom to be out an of the closet sex worker. I don’t tell everyone I’m a pso though. Does the clerk at the grocery store need to know? No. Does the gas station clerk need to know? No. But my friends know and I’m thankful for that. Hanging out with people that don’t know can be difficult. It feels like I’m in a constant state of self-editing.
I don’t blurt out I’m a PSO. I get the know the person first so they can know me before they realize I’m a sex worker. People tend to have lots of questions about the work and I don’t mind answering. Not every sex worker has the freedom to openly say what they do. Like SR I feel I too am chipping away at the notion that sex work is bad. Those of us that can be open about our work have the power to challenge and change assumptions about sex workers.
I’ve been a feminist since I was a little girl. My Grandmother had a subscription to Ms. Magazine and would bring over the current issue after she was done reading it. I remember flipping through the pages, not understanding a lot of it but wanting to read it anyway. As much as I love Ms. Magazine for what it is, I don’t have a subscription because I find it too depressing. I prefer magazines like Bust and $pread which incorporate feminism into their publication.
Mind you, I’ve had my clashes with feminism. A couple of years ago Mr. Radical and I were at a market that had a National Organization for Women booth. I’m into NOW so we went up to say hi. They asked if I wanted to become a member. I did! But I asked what their position on porn was first. Since I was a sex worker I wanted to make sure they were ok with it before giving them my money.
What did the two feminist women running the booth do? Look immediately over at my husband in incredulity. He shrugged them off saying he thought it was cool. They looked back and me and gave me a lame answer that didn’t answer my question. Then they passed the buck and suggested I write to NOW and ask. Grr. I did and never heard back. Grr again!
I still identify as a feminist. Admittedly the movement isn’t as inclusive as it could be. But I believe it will one day welcome sex workers. Am I being overly optimistic? Perhaps. But there was a time when feminists shunned lesbians, fearing them to be a “purple menace” that would hurt the movement.
I see a lot of parrells between the sex worker movement and the gay rights movement. Gays have rallied together. Between the gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered and queers they too must be a group that is hard to get “one stance to be agreed upon”. But now the GLBTQ movement is a lot stronger. Last year Democratic presidential candidates debated on gay issues. If a candidate says a homophobic remark it’s national news when 10, 20 years ago it wouldn’t have made headlines. This is great progress.
One day I would love for the sex worker movement to be that strong. I believe we can be.

I have a few birthday traditions. Mr. Radical and I always get a birthday spanking in our birthday suites. I like to go to a fancy restaurant for a birthday dinner. And I like to eat a piece of birthday cake for breakfast. I’m having chocolate cake with mocha icing right now. Mmm.

Give me a press pass because I am an amazing reporter!
Or not.
Turns out that my last post was about a story from 1970. When Jaded Hippy pointed this out in the comments I thought-No, I couldn’t have goofed up like that. But let’s go back the article. See that little line above that story that says “Monday, Dec. 07, 1970″? Gulp.
Teehee.
Despite my initial temptation to delete the post I’m leaving it up. Sure I feel a little goofy. But I’m also thankful to all my readers. I like that you check out the stories I link to and read them.
I did check out the story more and it turns out that the couple got to keep their baby. I found the update here. You can read the judgement here.

From Time Magazine:
Can Atheists Be Parents?
“After six years of childless marriage, John and Cynthia Burke of Newark decided to adopt a baby boy through a state agency. Since the Burkes were young, scandal-free and solvent, they had no trouble with the New Jersey Bureau of Children’s Services—until investigators came to the line on the application that asked for the couple’s religious affiliation.
John Burke, an atheist, and his wife, a pantheist, had left the line blank.
(snip)
In an extraordinary decision, Judge Camarata denied the Burkes’ right to the child because of their lack of belief in a Supreme Being. Despite the Burkes’ “high moral and ethical standards,” he said, the New Jersey state constitution declares that “no person shall be deprived of the inestimable privilege of worshiping Almighty God in a manner agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience.” Despite Eleanor Katherine’s tender years, he continued, “the child should have the freedom to worship as she sees fit, and not be influenced by prospective parents who do not believe in a Supreme Being.”"

Wow. This story riled me up almost as much as news of the Satan Squad did. If the parents lose their appeal their child will get ripped from her happy home to be put back up for adoption. And somehow this is for the child’s own good. WTF?
Mr. Radical sent me this story and commented-”You could call us Pantheists. It’s just a less threatening way to say Pagan.” Indeed. I would like to think that by 2008 those of us who practice alternative religions wouldn’t have to deal with such discrimination. The idea that non-Christian parents would prevent their children from worshipping a “Supreme Being” would be laughable if the judge hadn’t used such an idea for a legal ruling.
My parents raised me agnostic and I am deeply grateful. It’s the best thing they ever did for me. My father is a Vietnam Veteran. He was drafted and went to war believing he was fighting the good fight and defending his country. His battle to return alive earned him the purple heart. He also returned bitter and distrustful of the government and of organized religion. My mother was raised Christian Science which left her with a deep seated anger towards organized religion. Neither of them wanted to raise me religous.
My mother told me she believed in a Divine Spirit but thought it best if I figured things out on my own. My dad didn’t like to speak about religion at all. I was left alone to figure out religion on my own terms. I loved this. I looked into different faiths and settled upon my own. When I met Mr. Radical he introduced me Paganism. Suddenly I wasn’t the only one with my particular beliefs.
There is such freedom being raised without a religion. It made me the independent free thinker I am today.
Religious people who feel threatened by other religions secretly doubt their faith. If they were secure in their beliefs it would not threaten them that people thought differently. Judge Camarata is an idiot.
The tshirt pictured is from Richard Dawkins’ Out Campaign. Atheists unite!
“Stand OUT and organize activities and events in your local area. Join an existing local neighbourhood atheist organization, or start one. Put a bumper sticker on your car. Wear a T-shirt. Wear Josh’s red A if you like it as much as I do, otherwise design your own or find one on a website such as http://www.cafepress.com/buy/atheist; or wear no shirt at all, but please don’t carp at the very idea of standing up to be counted with other atheists.”
And I must mention that Dawkins is one of the hottest atheists around.
