I think Anne Zook was, like the third blogger I've ever spoken/written to. She writes these pretty amazing rants...amazing because they are

1. long
2. coherent
3. documented

which is deep because she ties such an array of topics into the one post even I had to pause for a breath on occasion.

Well, she wrote them. She went on hiatus long enough for me to remove her from the blogroll when I did some housekeeping around these parts.

But she's back on the blogroll because when she writes, she writes like this

And, finally, for those anti-feminists who are also infesting the right-wing these days, here's a link to make your frightened little hearts glad. Women? No make-up? No job.. A few more rulings like this and you he-men will be back where you belong...on the top of the heap of frightened, ignorant, and inadequate trolls!

And! Once you remove the wimmin from the work-force, or get them back scrubbing floors and answering phones, it won't be nearly as obvious that you're the scrapings of the employment garbage heap and that, after all, is what you're after, isn't it? You actually know you don't have the brains and ability to be a success, so you want to lower the bar so you at least look more successful, right?

Only losers grade on a curve, boys. And not matter how you distort the curve, you're still going to be losers.

And that's pretty much all I have to say to you.

and this

For those beginning to realize that their "inalienable rights" just might be under attack, sign the pledge. The ACLU has been around for a lot of years and they've been fighting for all our rights for all of that time.

And, above all? Never, never, never send any kind of check or donation to any political organization without including a letter. Five dollars? Ten dollars? Fifty dollars? Doesn't matter. Always include a letter pointing out specifically what you want your party or organization to believe in, stand for, work for, and achieve. I guarantee you if one million people send $5 each and each of them says that "healthcare for the uninsured" is a priority, that issue will rise to the top of the Democratic Party's Issue Heap before the next press conference.

If you have five issues you care about, write five checks. Include a separate issue with each check.

If you don't write so much as a postcard...then keep your mouth shut. Because I'm tired of listening to people bitch that the "Democratic Party" doesn't stand for what they want it to stand for. If you want them to stand for something, try telling them. Because this whole "let them read my mind" approach just isn't working, okay?

I'm disgusted with you.

And for people from both sides of the political spectrum, join FairVote. They're already working toward the next elections. (Yes, they do happen more than once every four years.) An honest, open, verifiable, and transparent election process Is. Not. A. Partisan. Issue.

...so as long as her site is accessible at all, on the blogroll she will stay.
