The Confluence (Latest Posts)- God Forbid we Should Change the Status Quo November 10, 2009Jake Tapper of ABC News had an “exclusive” interview with President Obama today. The first part of the interview was shown on ABC News hour tonight, more will be shown on Nightline tonight, and the rest on Good Morning America tomorrow. Tapper asked the President about the abortion language in the “health care [...]bostonboomer
- On a New Form of Indentured Servitude November 9, 2009There’s so much going on in the USA that warrants attention these days that it’s hard to know where to start. But, since I’m an economist I’m going to start here. “There are families not eating at the end of the month,” said Stephen Quinn, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Wal-Mart Stores, and [...]dakinikat
- Monday Morning News and Views November 9, 2009Good Morning, Conflucians! This morning more than ever, I’m so grateful for all of you, and so glad we have this blog where we can discuss, argue and rant about politics and news events. I can’t begin to imagine what I would have done with out TC and all of you Conflucians over [...]bostonboomer
- Know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away November 8, 2009I go to a Mad Men blog these days to chill out from politics. If you follow Mad Men, you know that Betty Draper found out who her husband really is and that, added to all of the other emotional insults she’s taken over the years, has forced her to come to some decisions in [...]riverdaughter
- You have no rights November 8, 2009The Stupak amendment, the greatest rollback of rights for women in decades is now in that thing the House has been calling a “Health Care” bill. (Links from Reclusive Leftist, The Confluence, WiredLeft.) But women are just, as always, the expendable canaries in the coal mine. Their rights are toast, which means so are [...]quixote
- Just so we’re clear November 8, 2009The apologists are busy running around trying to plug all the leaks in the unity boat arising from the Stupak amendment last evening which was followed by the subsequent passage of the final bill. The meme is that the Stupak amendment merely continues the “status quo.” No. It. Does. Not. Here is the Stupak amendment. “No [...]Stateofdisbelief
- Women under Carriages, under Street Cars, and under Buses November 8, 2009I’m reprinting a thread I wrote about a 1 1/2 years ago because they’ve just done it to us again. We’re supposed to go along for the greater good of the “health” plan. Give Obama a win. Hope they correct the injustices against women later. Well, ladies and sympathetic gentlemen, they [...]dakinikat
- Sunday Morning Blues: Stale bread and sour news November 8, 2009By now you’ve probably heard that one of the most egregious attacks on women’s health was perpetrated last night. The infamous Stupid Stupak amendment passed with the help of a reported 63 Democrats. This amendment extends the exclusions of the Hyde amendment restrictions on women’s reproductive needs to any health plan that receives fede […]Stateofdisbelief
- The Great Vagina Wars of 2009 (and 2010 if needed) November 8, 2009They’ve gone too far. I’ve finally had it. My ire began while reading the excellent and much-ado’d about post by Violet Socks over at the Reclusive Leftist (and the plethora of accompanying commentary) along with Melissa McEwen’s fabulous (yet utterly depressing) post over at Shakesville My trigger has been tripped and I’m rea […]Stateofdisbelief
- Health Care Reform Bill Open Thread, Part II November 8, 2009Democrats in Congress are busy tonight trying to make sure that women can’t get abortions or birth control. The Stupak Amendment was defeated on a voice vote, probably because Boehner told the Republicans not to vote for it. Now the Republicans are proposing their own amendment that will make sure that we keep [...]bostonboomer

I just love your name and have followed yous posts, I like your avatar too.
The image of Lady Liberty and Lady Justice together is quite powerful. The symbolism of them kissing, ie communicating and exchanging energy, implies that one can’t chose between freedom and justice, an excellent point, elegantly made. The ancient sages would be proud of you!
