It’s weird thinking of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson as fathers of the Democratic party. I mean obviously as an organization they are, but they’re so ideologically different to the current Democrats. So who would be the go-to figures for “modern” Deomcrats, I mean, when does it “begin”? FDR/New deal? Woodrow Wilson? William Jennings Bryan/populism?...

Anonymous asked: (same anon as before; ran out of room) I understand that a lot of that attitude comes from frustration, truly I do. But talk about a hyperbolic reaction. If you're trying to win some sympathy for Cat, then being derisive toward and making fun of the feelings of a motherless child (i.e., calling him "emo" and acting like he should just be grateful she let him stay at Winterfell),...

Anonymous asked: Re no Cat fan EVER having stated that her comment to Jon was a good thing: Maybe I've never seen that, but I HAVE seen Cat fans act like she was absolutely right to be cold toward Jon, that he was "an interloper" who took time away from her children, that she was a saint for allowing him to exist in her general vicinity, etc. I've also seen Cat fans be incredibly snide &...

And their logic was one moment wasn’t enough to prove Cat was okay to Jon all her life, but it was enough to prove she was a child abuser! I just.. I cannot fathom that logic.
Yeah, it should be neutral at best. But yano, if she was usually that bad to Jon it’s awfully funny that Jon never thinks of...

ARGH I say this about different characters all the time. I don’t condone what she said to Jon, but I UNDERSTAND it. Because she’s human. And was in a horrible, horrible place. And I’m sorry that ONE MOMENT cannot make me hate her ever.
It’s just that I have never seen ANYONE ever ANYWHERE. EVER...

Find me a post on the internet where someone says “It should have been you” was a good thing, or not a bad thing, or something that Cat shouldn’t feel regret for.
And then find me posts that say that Cat abused Jon (GMAB!!!) all his life.
I dare you to count them. I dare you. And when you count them you tell me with a straight face that there are these hoards of Catelyn...

“We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term” -Dana Perino
(This was in that “10 worst things said on Fox News” link that went around a bit ago. I’m finally reading/watching it now except I can’t even stay tuned for the whole video clips because it makes me just that irritable sitting through it.)

ariamaculata asked: I suppose I expect that her contribution as other than (and in conjunction with) Mother will become apparent in retrospect and this is as far as I've taken her I apologise I hardly feel the expert on Catelyn Stark nor do I mean to make you agree with me. I have kinda got it into my head that there are similarities with Melisandre to be discovered and and basically hoping she will return as a...

She keeps claiming she’s not interested but my mother always says the only cure for presidential ambition is death.
Yeah, she’s not interested my ass.

ariamaculata asked: Like I said I totally disagree with her being treated poorly. How her death accentuates the tragic irony of her situation might be frustrating but it's still part of the series' greater theme. She is the stuff of heroes. I know I am more involved with what Cat and generally everyone contributes to the plot and will occasionally miss injustices done to them by the author but I don't...

ariamaculata asked: OT: I read a post on the Catelyn tag yesterday I think that said that despite their arcs women are treated poorly in ASOIAF (I disagree) and I couldn't respond if only for Catelyn because I realised that for all that she is treated as a full blown character her POV does stop with Robb's death. Was her sole purpose to narrate Robb's endeavours? And it got me thinking. Beric was...

So I rather think that barring some huge unforeseen circumstance Hillary Clinton will deffo run in 2016 for president.
And I keep musing idly on whom she might choose as her running mate.
And I keep doing that cartoon big-eyed gleaming thing because I wonder if she might pick another woman.
Two women, one ticket.

I try not to get too into ‘serious issues’ on here much because I’m sorry but I just don’t have the energy (physically; mentally; emotionally; whatever else) for that, really ever, and also this is mostly my private/fandom blog which I use largely for distraction from my own problems, thus I don’t want to be exacerbating some of those by trying to address all the crap in the...

I understand you 100%. I love Cat, though not as much as I love Brienne. I can deal with the Cat story change, but if it would have been Brienne, I would probably have exploded through the roof. Therefore I think you have every right to complain.
Thank you, sincerely, for trying to put yourself in my shoes. I...

Gay Judge Refuses To Marry Straight Couples →
Dallas judge Tonya Parker says she won’t conduct any marriage ceremonies until she and every other gay person in Texas have the same right to marry. When she turns straight couples away, Parker tells them: “I’m sorry. I don’t perform marriage ceremonies because we are in a state that does not have marriage equality, and until it does, I am not going to partially apply the law to one group of...

By Laura Vozzella and Anita Kumar, Published: February 23
RICHMOND — In the end, it took late-night comedians, a less genteel legislature and a backtracking governor to change the course of Virginia’s highly contentious antiabortion bill.
The measure, which would require women to get an ultrasound before having an abortion, was headed for the law books late last week. But over the course...
