Goodness! Some of us got up on the wrong side of the bed. As one of those "disheveled" activist bloggers (though my hairdresser wouldn't thank Verini for the description, and I hate these overly broad characterizations), I see plenty left to do.

Almost everything about America needs to be changed and I have ... More »
