A few weeks ago, Senator Dean Heller, the Republican from my state (Nevada), voted to bring gun control up for debate. This isn't generally what Republicans do, so for about 10 seconds I fell into the trap of believing he might actually be a decent guy. Clearly this is why it was so easy to [...]

Let's just get something straight right off the bat. The following criticism in no way changes how I feel about the state and actions of the current Republican party. It would take many, many hours over many, many days to convince me that Republicans: want to make sure people won't starve want to make sure [...]

Something really disturbing happened to me on Facebook today. Deep down I'm hoping there's a complicated, techy, and completely legitimate explanation for it, but I'm fearing the worst. First, an explanation. Many of you know I have what's called a "fan page" for World's Worst Moms. Fan pages are different than personal pages. When I [...]

So Saturday, we finally made it to the pumpkin patch. Little background -- we usually go to a pumpkin patch in town, but this year, we thought we'd try out a newish place on the outskirts that our daughter went to on a class trip. It's owned by a family who live on their farm, [...]

Okay, that's it. I'm officially spent. Last weekend, some friends and I walked a few neighborhoods in Reno to Get Out the Vote for Obama (in honor of my cousin, Logan -- it was really nice). We, of course, encountered a number of "I'm not sure who I'm voting for" people. And then this week, [...]

So this is basically how our morning went... Me (pointing at a photo of people shaking Joe Biden's hand on the front page of the newspaper): Hey, look -- if I would've gone to the Biden event yesterday, that could've been me. Newt: You're in there? Me: No, I could've gone. And my friend had [...]

I got a comment from a reader on my last blog who was basically annoyed with me because she felt I voted with my vagina. Which is strange because I didn't even know my vagina had fingers (although my husband does claim it has magical properties). Anyway, she was generally ticked that I vote for [...]

Well, it's official. After watching the vice presidential debate and running into these two little gems on the internets, I'm totally screwed if the Romney/Ryan ticket ends up in the White House. Because there's absolutely, positively no way I'll ever be able to look at Paul Ryan and not start laughing my bloody arse off. [...]

Sometimes when I hear all the political rhetoric flying around, I think there's no way it could actually reflect your average guy on the street. It's just too...crazy. Clearly all of the nuts we're seeing on TV are just the loud, proud radicals who get their voices heard because it's interesting. But as it turns [...]
