Hey all you book nerds - check out the blog of Cynthia Rodriguez on Lesbiatopia!
When Cindy's not writing her awesome blogs and book reviews for Lesbiatopia, she's doing artsy-fartsy thingys in her studio, being a kick-ass pro-choice activist, cheering for the NY Jets, and filling the role of rad co-worker :)
Show some love to C-Rod: R4R's biggest fan!

Making lemonade.
I'm always the LAST to post everything (hey, I never claimed to be CNN here!), but I finally sat my tush down and watched the Proposition 8 Musical video that's been going around for the past couple weeks.
Two words: Hil Arious!
That's why I love my fellow liberals - when we experience setbacks we get upset...but then we just make our opponents look like total ass-clowns :)

Prop 8 pees on my parade.
I'm finally out of my Election Happiness Haze. Wow, what a week it's been!! For the first time in my adult life, I actually feel like things are going to be different.....and I'm so proud!
On a lousy note, Proposition 8 passed in California banning gay marriage statewide. My man, Keith Olbermann had this to say last night...
(get those tissues and prepare to swoon!)

Vote, baby, VOTE!
Just cast my ballot - who knew I'd be so peppy getting up at the ass-crack of dawn!
My friend and I were giddy as we left our polling place - maybe we're just nerds, but there's this feeling of pride and accomplishment we both shared. It's amazing how such a small (almost anti-climactic) action of pressing a few buttons can mean so much.
That's why I get so fucking angry when people get on their soapboxes about how "lame" or "pointless" voting is. What pisses me off most of all is the fact that these people are as fed up with the status quo as I am - yet, they snub the most important step they can take to try and change it. Sure, our system is far from perfect - but how is refusing to participate in it going to fix anything? As far as I'm concerned: if you didn't vote, you can't bitch. I bitched about Bush for EIGHT YEARS - because I didn't vote for him either time, and I was pissed. If you aren't happy with something, raise your voice and use the vehicles you have to show your disapproval! Get involved in your community, organizations, movements to bring about change when we're not in an election year. DO SOMETHING! Even if it's just writing a freakin' blog you think no one reads - you're at least getting your thoughts and your message out there.
I'm sick of the whole: "I'm too annoyed and cynical to vote. I'm so much better than you idealistic losers who think it's going to make a difference. I waste my breath telling you how angry I am, but I'm not going to do anything about it."
Get the fuck over yourselves.

Women's health gets fingered...
I frantically searched for this Daily Show segment after it aired last night - but alas, I had to wait until this morning.
Rock on, Samantha Bee.

Sharp Dressed (Wo)man.
By now, you've probably heard about paper doll Sarah Palin's shopping sprees. Reports show the RNC has spent over $150,000 on clothing, hair and makeup for the VP candidate's appearances on the campaign trail. Cause really - who cares what asinine crap comes out of her mouth as long as she looks good? Props to CNN's Campbell Brown for addressing this on the air:
I feel it's as obvious as ever why Johnny picked Palin as his running mate: there's been too much talk about the Republican party equating to rich, crusty old white men. Sooooo....let's incorporate some CHANGE (cause that's what all the hip kids are saying these days) and put a rich, young white WOMAN in the public eye! Oh, they'll eat that up! But she has to be hot - we don't want some post-menopausal hag - women don't want to be that and men don't want to look at that. Who cares what her creds are - she's got peeps to write her speeches for her (just make sure we keep her away from unscripted questions from the media - people might actually find out she's stupid).

Another reason Sarah Palin is an asshole.
This is a short but really powerful ad put out by WAMP (Women Against McCain-Palin)...
