there's a sad, but real, problem of sexual harassment and sexual abuse for women veterans

And part of what we need is to recognize that oftentimes our women servicemembers are more prone to post-traumatic stress disorder partly because they -- there's a sad, but real, problem of sexual harassment and sexual abuse for women veterans, and that makes them much more prone, then, to have post-traumatic stress disorder.

Do they periodically get down or let their claws come out?

Can you say obvious pandering in light of allegations of sexism, sweetie? Yeah, me too.

The very real problem is 'outrageous and must be stopped.'

Sexual Harassment happens over there and here.

But it doesn't make women more prone to PTSD.

While many of those afflicted with CDS only see Obama as a vessel for their attempts to defeat Clinton, there are quite a few who are willing to destroy anyone who gets in Obama's way. Witness the pillorying of anyone who resists--Paul Krugman, Julian Bond, Mickey Kantor, etc.

Tonight on Real Live Ghosthunters -- Barack Obama tells us about his Memorial Day vision!  The rest, well, the best laid plans.  Let's just not go there.

I would suggest not campaigning at all on Memorial Day, but I suppose I completely forgot -- the dead are still allowed to vote in Chicago.  Spending more time campaigning than remembering those who DIED in the line of duty, now that really is exquisitely tasteless.

For Women Warriors, Deep Wounds, Little Care

in part:

Women make up some 15 percent of the United States active duty forces, and 11 percent of the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly a third of female veterans say they were sexually assaulted or raped while in the military, and 71 percent to 90 percent say they were sexually harassed by the men with whom they served.

I also know that Gore has been criticized over the years for not demanding that every county have a recount. My memory makes this criticism seem unfair, but it may be that once he went to the FL supreme court that he should have done so. However, it was the court's decision to do so which was aborted by the SCOTUS' Bush Fave Five.

My memory was that they campaign had to limit its recount requests and could not just say recount everything by hand. I do know now that 18 counties never had any recount whatsoever (per Jeffrey Toobin).

Does anyone have knowledge of this, or remember seeing the same info about the FL situation?  

The FL expert was a former election official of some kind in FL, an older man -- again, iirc.

Hillary is peaking at just the right time.

Good thing prepared statements and teleprompters are  always provided when a President needs to make an important decision.

They aren't?

Head Scratching

I know I'm not alone in the League of Mostly Nonaligned Bloggers in being rather puzzled by Clinton supporters. I don't mean all people who supported her, but the ones who are still pushing for her candidacy. As far as I can tell they want her to be the candidate and really just don't care how that happens as long as it does. At this point only a drastic rule change combined with a massive shift in support from superdelegates even gets her close to the nomination. In another words, cheating combined with the smoke-filled room residents overturning the outcome of the primary process.
I never really cared all that much about who won this thing, but at some point Obama became the only one with a legitimate path to the nomination. I just stare and scratch my head and wonder what it's all about. I appreciate that there are people who don't like Obama for whatever reasons and prefer Clinton for whatever reasons. But he, you know, won?
