My Date with Pete Seeger

by Kahli
Sat Jan 12th, 2008 at 09:52:22 AM EST

My husband wasn't back from his business trip.  It was Friday night. I wanted to go out.

After perusing the paper, I decided to go see a documentary at one of our local art houses.  Ah kismet.  I found myself sitting with a handful of people at a showing of Pete Seeger:The Power of Song.

No Grassroots In The Desert

by Kahli
Sat Jan 5th, 2008 at 10:03:17 AM EST

In New Mexico we have wide open skies.  We also have wide open political races this year. Or do we?

The system got a huge jolt when Senator Pete Domenici announced he would not seek another term.  All three of our Congressional Representatives (2 Republican, 1 Democrat) seized the chance to run for Senate, leaving all three congressional seats open.

But what about the troops?

Fri Dec 28th, 2007 at 02:17:11 PM EST

Bush is going to veto the military appropriations bill.

I enjoy being a girl!

by Kahli
Sun Nov 18th, 2007 at 09:23:12 AM EST

I'm a girl, and by me that's only great!
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy,
That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait
With my hips kind of swivelly and swervy.

I adore being dressed in something frilly
When my date comes to get me at my place.
Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy,
Like a filly who is ready for the race!

My Brief Labor Day Rant

by Kahli
Mon Sep 3rd, 2007 at 09:01:04 AM EST

I wasn't going to write today.  I've got to get to work. But the New York Times Editorial Board changed my mind.

"Think About That"

by Kahli
Sat Jul 14th, 2007 at 08:38:51 AM EST

Oh Dear God.  What kind of country are we?  Our wounds are deep.  Our wounds are many. I wish I had the gift of expression to adequately portray the horror, outrage and despair I felt after reading this.

Is it all about the penis?

by Kahli
Mon Jun 18th, 2007 at 10:39:27 AM EST

Okay, the world is facing one dire issue after another. Activists are overwhelmed, not knowing what to tackle first. So I guess this diary is rather frivolous in the face of all that, but I'm really bumfuzzled by this NYT article.

Women Part II; or "I'm not sure that the divisiveness is worth it"

by Kahli
Wed May 30th, 2007 at 11:55:47 AM EST

First I want to thank Carnacki on his diary about the objectification and sexism that women face in the world today.  It was a thoughtful, well-expressed diary and was a welcome addition to the several insightful diaries that Steven D has written about women's issues.  It inspired me to get off my butt and write this diary which was triggered by a newspaper story I saw on Sunday.

Parental Alienation Syndrome: Classes coming to a state near you.

by Kahli
Thu May 17th, 2007 at 01:51:37 PM EST

Well, this letter by Kim Gandy, President of NOW, was like a kick in the gut.  Yes, I know that NOW is an advocacy group for women, and yes I know that my personal history leaves me with a definite point of view, but this is seriously wrong.

Chipping Away at Abortion: An Addendum

by Kahli
Wed May 16th, 2007 at 10:48:49 AM EST

I started this as a comment but it grew too long, so it is now a diary.

First, thanks are due to Steven for keeping this on the front page.  As Booman noted yesterday, there are so many outrages, that it is hard to keep on fighting. The fact that this issue receives priority here is something for which I am very grateful.

May Day! May Day!

by Kahli
Tue May 1st, 2007 at 09:54:41 AM EST

Happy May Day, aka International Workers' Day. Celebrated in many countries around the world and inextricably wound up with the workers' movement in the United States through the eight-hour day campaign and the incidents leading up to the Haymarket Massacre, the day is largely ignored here.

To mark the day here at the pond, I present to you the comments of several of our presidents regarding labor.  Make of them what you will.

Nancy Drew and Anna Pavlova

by Kahli
Sat Apr 28th, 2007 at 01:46:59 AM EST

April 28th has been designated "Take Back The Blog" day - day to celebrate women's full participation in all aspects of society. In thinking about this topic, I kept reminiscing about all the women -- real and fictional -- who inspired me.

Just STFU, you bitches and 'hos.

by Kahli
Wed Apr 18th, 2007 at 03:35:46 PM EST

Okay, don't shut up.  Wail, rage, weep.  And you guys who have yet to start listening, now might be a good time.
