Kitten politics and its' sister sites has been dedicated to the discussions of our world and to be as bold, thought provking and fair as possible. But, as the world we live in is reported on and reflected upon, sometimes there are people that we run across that we believe are role models for all to follow. One such notable is Lorena Ochoa, the Mexican Golfer. Ms. Ochoa is one of the top Lady Golfers in the world. She has used her winnings to make a difference by building a school in her native Mexico and has plans for a high school. May Mexico be blessed with such Angels who can make such a difference as it continues to fight s one of its' most violent wars in its' tumulous history......

Jenny Sanford is the wife of the Governor of South Carolina. Her husband, Governor Mark . Sanford has been the subject of immense media scrutiny after he dropped off the face of the earth to rush to Buenos Aires to see his mistress.

I hereby send out a Virtual High Five to Mrs. Sanford. She is to be admired for doing the right honorable thing. She still, out of respect, kept quiet. This shows courage and true grit. The fact that the man apparently asked for permission to see his mistress shows the total disdain he has for everything that he supposedly espoused to. Mrs. Sanford basically told the world that she did not care what happened to him. She still had the courage to still keep the door open. She, in my view, is a true "tiger lady". I was almost driven to tears when I read the story of Mrs. Sanford showing off her son's latest achievement in school.


What is it about such men that makes them forget to do the right thing? I continue to wonder about someone who probably owes his success to his wife, is the mother of his children and has been a true "soulmate" to have betrayed her in such a manner. She was too gracious to him to have just asked him to leave. I can't even imagine crossing such a redline, ever.

Mr. Sanford has a lot of soul searching to do. America is a land of second chances. Richard Nixon was forgiven, Dick Morris came back and Marv Albert too. If Mr. Sanford had the guts, he would resign, rebuild his life and go on for the sake of his boys. Someone once said to me that once you are a parent, it is not about you anymore. It is all about them. Mr. Sanford forgot that in his search for a "soulmate". Of all the hysteria in the press, I view it to be the greatest tragedy of all.

Roxanna Saberi's Plight

April 8th 2009 22:16
I had written about Roxanna Saberi's Plight. She's a Freelance Journalist working in Iran and was detained by Iranian Authorities on some initial bogus charges. Now, they have accused her of spying.

I can't understand the paranoia the Iranian regime has over a journalist. Although Secretary Clinton's deep concern is welcome, the practical leverage the United States has is very minimal at this stage. Whatever evidence Iranian Judicial Authorities have is more than likely fabricated anyway. The smart thing for the Iranian Government is to encourage dialogue and discussions. Repression and the discouragement of dissent will do nothing but reinfroce a negative stereotype that would continue to play into the hands of the so-called rightwing in the West who are gunning for a fight with Iran anyway. I hope that the realists prevail.

Oscar Night: My Choice For Best Picture

February 22nd 2009 21:49
Tonight is Oscar's Night. My choice is Slumdog Millionaire. It shows a beautiful story of rags to riches. Who cares that it does not happen to be a "Hollywood" movie. This is entertainment at its' best. I think Hollywood can truly learn a thing or two from Bollywood. This is why I am a Bollywood Fan:

McCain: The Anti-Choice Zealot

August 13th 2008 14:33
McCain
The New Republic has a great article up regarding McCain and his anti-choice views. His reputation as a moderate slowly slips away as more and more people learn about his real views. Such as his opposition to Roe v. Wade and his desire to fill the Supreme Court with ultra-conservatives. Out of his 130 votes on reproductive heath, McCain voted anti-choice on 125 of them, which includes the global gag rule that prevented funds to international family-planning clinics.

The opening of the article shows a glimpse of the real McCain

Did You Hear About Edwards

August 11th 2008 02:56
John Edwards
So John Edwards has admitted to an affair. Yes, I think it's crappy that he had the affair while his wife was sick with cancer. But I'm also not putting it at the top of my need to know news list. Why?

Well in case you haven't noticed there has been some actually important news going on. Other than which politician is sleeping with or has slept with whom. Like the war between Russia and Georgia. The return of the South Dakota abortion consent law. Back peddling and avoiding the questions were had by all in the attempts at labeling birth control as abortions. And over in Sweden they are looking at mandatory castration for transgendered people. It's just been a busy weekend, so Edwards sex life has had to take a backseat.

Birth Control - Period Control?

August 3rd 2008 04:49
birth control


Don't tell certain guys this, but birth control might not only be about stopping babies. It might, dare I say it, have something to do with hormones and certain female bodily functions

scared woman
Let's play a game of Blame the Victim. I'll start: a woman goes out, has a few drinks, is feeling drunk, and suddenly a man comes along and rapes her. Who gets the blame? If you said the rapist you would be wrong.

Sex, Sluts, and Cosmopolitan

July 21st 2008 17:01
As a mom of sons there are such some things that I hope to make my sons understand in their lifetime. Certain issues that I hope to have ingrained in them. Things such as "No means no" and "Ask before touching", little nuggets of wisdom that both help them now when fighting over shared toys and will certainly help them later as grown men. Another helpful lesson is not to call women sluts based on something as frivolous as what they choose to read. Mona Charen, syndicated columnists and author, disagrees with my parenting ideals. In an interesting tidbit of daily life Charen let us in on how the right-wing talking heads prefer to raise their sons.

Funny you should mention that. I was in the supermarket yesterday with my 14-year-old son who asked "What's up with Cosmopolitan? What is that?" I replied, "It's a magazine for sluts."

Time and time again the so called "pro-life" movement has shown it's true colors by being pro anything but life. At least not life as most people know it, in a thinking, feeling, living human being. It seems that once again the "pro-life" people have stepped up to say they are absolutely against life.

HIV
To celebrate National HIV Testing Day a group from Planned Parenthood made arrangements to pass out fliers at a local Wal-Mart. Despite what the extreme anti-choice like to claim, the fliers were in no way attempting to give porn and birth control to kindergarteners. What that would even have to do with HIV testing and prevention is beyond me anyways
