Via Kat in Your Hat:
“Since Mackenzie Phillip’s public confession on Oprah, counselors have seen a jump in people (women and girls?) seeking help for abuse and incest. Between September 22nd and 24th the Rape, Abuse and Incest Network (RAINN) says its hotline had a 26 percent increase in call volume, and their hotline had an 83 PERCENT SPIKE.
Meanwhile, the bad news is I can’t write like Violet Sox. The good news is — she can. Also, she’s passing the Blegging Bowl, so if you have a few samoleans to spare and like what she does (and who doesn’t?) you know what to do.
The bad news is I haven’t done a news roundup this morning and it’s practically LUNCH TIME where many of you are. The good news is Uppity, Tennessee Guerilla Women, and Dakinkat are all smokin’ women who HAVE done their blog jobs this morning.
Will be online almost ALL DAY today, finally. (Hooray!)
Be sure to read Tennessee in context with Violet Sox on the “possibility” that conservative women can be feminists. Who said you can’t think deep thoughts on a random Thursday?

Makes sense… these controversies (Jeffrey Masson), confessions (MacKenzie), publicity (Polanski), apply pressure and restimulate memories, make it more difficult to keep secrets, make it more okay to deal with the turmoil, guilt, shame, offer an entre to discussing.
RAINN is a good organization and deserves support. Maybe ACORN’s money should be dedicated to incest and sexual abuse and barbarian violence organizations.
PS: Donated to Violet Sox. Thank you, Dr. Sox.

ugh. picturing Jeremy Irons in film Lolita. Woody Allen gross out pedo. And Natalie Portman?–she supported Hillary. booo.
Celebrities suck–they do whatever they please. Livin’ in their own boring bubble. Polanski probably did that kind of thing with other girls all the time. Dirtbag.

CONSENUAL MATTER
Tate says Polanski did not forcibly have sex with the girl, calling it a “consensual matter.”
Sharon Tate was murdered in Los Angeles in 1969 by followers of Charles Manson. She was eight months pregnant.
Debra Tate says it’s been a devastating few weeks for her, with her sister’s killer, Susan Atkins, dying Sept. 24 and now her late sister’s husband jailed.

OSU Professor Gets $1.1 Million In Stimulus To Study Alaskan Grandparents

STILLWATER, OK — A professor at Oklahoma State University received $1.1 million in stimulus to study Alaskan grandparents. The National Science Foundation made the grant possible through their pot of stimulus money. But some Oklahomans say this is just one more example of stimulus waste.

I remember one summer out on a NE island–I was 13 years old and a 45 year old man took me to go shrimping in a canoe. Yeah, he took the boat into the tall reeds and tried to kiss me and he wanted to see my chest. He kept begging for me to let him kiss me. Got on his knees too. I kept saying no way and I was laughing at him. He eventually started crying and apologized. (I’m lucky something very bad didn’t happen…in the reeds like that and no one around to see or hear a thing.) What a dirtbag!

Michelle Obama: Copenhagen Olympic politics just like Iowa caucuses
In 2008, voters in the Iowa Caucus — famous for their quirky picks — gave a little-known Democrat named Barack Obama his first victory, propelling him toward the White House.
Now, First Lady Michelle Obama is in Copenhagen, stumping for Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. And last night, at a pep-rally dinner for 300 supporters of Chicago’s bid, she likened the race in Denmark to that contest way back when in Iowa.
“As my husband would say, we are fired up and ready to go in here,” she said, echoing the slogan that generated so much excitement on the campaign trail last year. Comparing the contest in Denmark to the one in Iowa, the first lady added, “Nobody makes the decision until they’re sitting there. So the next few days really provide us with a real opportunity to hold some hands, to have some conversations, to share our visions.”

sistermoon3 10.01.09 at 2:22 pm
You can get this off American Thinker website:
“As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days,” the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, “so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home.”
What sacrifice? You take a fleet of airplanes that you didn’t pay for, with fuel you didn’t pay for, so your husband can do the only thing he’s good at, giving speeches? What a joke these people are.
I’ll give you a sacrifice, lady; get yourself over to the Army rehab hospital where US soldiers are laying in beds right now, trying to figure out how they’re going to live the rest of their life without that leg. Uh-huh.

Hardin Jail Contract with a firm law enforcement has never heard of before
BILLINGS – A new contract not only promises to breathe life into the empty Hardin jail, but to expand it as well.
Two River Authority officials have entered into a 10-year contract with an out-of-state security firm to bring 1,000 prisoners to the Hardin jail by mid March, but law enforcement has never heard of the firm.
After sitting vacant two years after completion the Hardin jail will now house prisoners provided by California security firm American Police Force.

Michael Hilton showed up in Hardin, Mont., last week, presenting himself as an economic savior, the man who would take over the town’s $27 million jail — empty since it was built as a development project in 2007 — and provide 200 new jobs in the process.
The record says that he is a convicted felon with at least 17 aliases, a string of legal judgments against him, two bankruptcies and a decades-long reputation for deals gone bad.
American Police Force is the company Hilton formed in March to take over the Hardin jail.

The Empire State Building will blaze red and yellow tonight to “commemorate” the 60th anniversary of the founding of the communist nation.
Here are the top 10 reasons to commemorate the People’s Republic of China:
10. Governments established with the help of the Soviet Union have always made people smile.
9. Communist chic.
8. From mannish female Olympic swimmers to Maria Sharapova – now that’s some Communist progress right there!
7. Mao’s “Great Leap Forward” created a famine that killed only 30 million people which isn’t a lot when you have more than a billion.
6. “Tank Man,” who stood in front of the tanks at Tianaman Square, is a better magician than David Copperfield, having made himself disappear now for 20 years.
5. One party government and population controls are a New York east coast liberal’s dream!
4. After reading the New York Times, having the ability to shut down the press like they do in China is sometimes my dream!
3. Death Panel envy.
2. Atheist chicks are sexy.
And the number one reason to commemorate the People’s Republic’s bloody takeover of China…
1. American taxpayers have to suck up to their landlord!

8. Play Beyonce’s song “single ladies, put a ring on it” all night long over and over and over again
7. Release phony video of bin laden talking about putting up his christmas tree because he’s been converted
6. Tell them that they too will have to listen to President Mohammah Jr. (BO) endless speeches daily and nightly
5. and his wife’s speeches too
4. “Jesus dont play second fiddle to Mohammad” posters
on all side and main highways
3. Take all their women away, and they will starve to death
like many men would here in america LOLOLOLOLO well?
there arent many fast foods where they are
2. Put salt peter in the water supply, thwy will soon forget
what they are fighting for and their women will leave them.

A wonderful organization as well as a must read book.
Don’t shoot the messenger because it is an important message.
Dear Barbara,
You will not want to miss “The Oprah Winfrey Show” today, October 1, when Oprah will deliver a call to action that places CARE’s mission to empower women and girls in the fight against poverty at the heart of a nationwide conversation.
Inspired by The New York Times best-selling book “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide” by Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, Oprah’s eye-opening hour will reveal powerful stories of women who have overcome adversity to realize a better life for themselves. Oprah herself calls one of the stories “the most incredible story of manifesting a dream I have ever heard.”
After the show, Oprah will launch, http://www.oprah.com/forallwomen where CARE will be featured.
We’re inviting you to read “Half the Sky” with your book club, women’s group, alumni chapter or family and friends. Then, start a conversation about the challenges and opportunities women and girls face, and what you can do to help, such as joining CARE in the global movement to end poverty by empowering women and girls.
* Click here to order “Half the Sky” through Amazon. CARE will receive at least 4 percent of revenue when purchases are made through this link.
I believe Hillary will be featured

“Quick Hit: Feminist Majority Founder Says Let Polanski Go”
“Some of the industry’s most prominent women said they believe Polanski, who faces a sentence as low as probation and as high as 16 months in prison for pleading guilty to having sex with a minor, should be freed. “My personal thoughts are let the guy go,” said Peg Yorkin, founder of the Feminist Majority Foundation. “It’s bad a person was raped. But that was so many years ago. The guy has been through so much in his life. It’s crazy to arrest him now. Let it go. The government could spend its money on other things.”

Lisa Ling and Christine Amapour are my absolute heroines. I would love to be them, seriously, maybe in my next life.
Hillary looked beautiful and had a few small interviews with Ling done for a feature story on women of the Congo through Women for Women International she is doing.
Hillary speaks to investing in educating women and girls because they are our greatest resources to literally be able to change the world.
Even as a matter of national security.
Do you know that suicide bombers need the permission of their mothers, the more educated a women the less likely she is to give permission.
Empower Women through education and change the world.
I again say sorry to those because it was Oprah, but this is a topic that needs more voices and the email I received was from Hillary for CARE.
It was a beautiful show and I would hope all try to see it and read the book

Polanski!
It is interesting to compare the celebrity reaction to Polanski to the reaction to pediphile priests. I can not think of one person defending them or one person suggesting that they should not be prosecuted.
Throw the book at Polanski!

“It’s bad a person was raped. But that was so many years ago. The guy has been through so much in his life. It’s crazy to arrest him now. Let it go.
—————–
The rape took place long after the holocaust, “so many years ago”, but they don’t mind referring to it in terms of how much polanski went through (his mother was killed in the camps).
Rape is not an act that has a beginning and end for the victims/survivors… it impacts their lives forever, consciously or not.
Poor Polanski has been through soooooooo much… fame, fortune, lifetime achievement honors… poor poor polanski.

MamaPuma…In addition..regarding those priests and the bishops and every other man and woman (and there were both indeed) within the Archdiocesan structures who protected them shoul all be in jail…with the key thrown away…Moreover I think there should be no statue of limitations re pedophilia and/or sexual abuse of children. It should be treated in the law like murder….for the lifetimes and souls who have been psychologically and in every way…permanently injured…..

scarlet…and Michele thinks the Olympics in Chicago will give kids the desire to be media stars..maybe she should grab a jet and go talk to Chicago youth instead NOW…seems they and so many others need more ideals closer to home to seek…like something to do other than this in your link.

Just think, she could bring those Chicago children to church at the Rev. Wright’s where they could learn to hate whites and women and Italian noses. Where she brought her own children. That will fix everything.

That’s the reason we have LAWS AGAINST it, dickwad!!
AND, if the judges, juries, or EVERYONE raped young girls… They’d be tried as well.
“Everyone”??? Does that mean women don’t exist??
I’m a woman and I have never wanted to f— young girls or any other children.

#31 Elizabeth Smart’s abductor is NO different from the scum who founded the Mormon “I want a harem of young women to screw” cult.
The rape-addled lowlife made his heaven in the image of his harem-to-rape vision and even the so-called “reformed to pretend to be mainstream” Mormons still have this rape fantasy as the image of their afterlife “paradise.”
They have to psychologically scar and abandon the young men of their cult, too, in order to collect the young women for their sex slave harems.
Anyone who doubts this should know that the only reason they don’t prosecute polygamy in Utah is because if they did there would be no room in the courts for any other cases.

#37 sistermoon,
All Xmas ornaments are NOT banned, and that is typical nonstop, tired old rightwing nonsense from WorldNutDaily and OReily, etc.
What’s prohibited is anything with the name of Jesus on it, and rightly so. Winter Solstice is a pagan —ie, ancient human— celebration and was never Jesus’ birthday, the Christians just borrowed it because it is and will forever be in the heart and vein of humans, because it’s based on our home, the earth, and the seasons. Not on the latest cult and religion, however many years this one lasts.
Every year, year after year, all this sputtering nonsense when people say “Happy Holidays” instead of Xmas. Really. Be of good cheer. No one little cult owns the holiday season.
