Same-Sex Marriage Legalized In Washington, Also Weed
Washington is like so fun, it’s practically the Canada of America now with same-sex marriage legal and weed decriminalized. The best weddings are yet to come. Not that I am excited about the weed thing, mom. 100s of couples lined up to get married in Washington, including one couple who had been together for 35 years. One bride sported the whitest sweater I have ever seen. How does she get it so clean?
U.S. Only 80th In The World In Women’s Political Representation [Sugar Binge]
God, we suck. Rwanda is ranked one, Mexico is ten, the United Kingdom is fifty-eight. It seems the Western world has some backwards ideas about what progress means? The list, which ranks 190 countries by how well women are represented in politics (presumably in proportion to each country’s population) is very interesting considering how much the West likes to dismiss developing nations as overwhelmingly oppressive to women.

Why Meghan McCain is Someone to Watch Out For
Meghan McCain used to really bother me. I thought the only reason she had become a well known political commentator was because her father, John McCain, was a prominent politician. It’s obvious that she’s worked hard to brand herself as a new, young voice of the Republican party. This interview she just did with Playboy is an example of that – she has some good things to say, but she’s trying hard to seem cool and relatable.
