Ode to Larry Craig
Awesome song about the latest Republican sex scandal, from Jill Sobule, Robin Eaton and Lorene Machado. It is really sad, actually!!
Congressman Foley
What is infuriating about this issue is that the braindead homophobes out there will look at it as some kind of proof that homosexuality has something in common with pedophilia. It doesn’t but some people are just that dumb, and the homophobic are very special kinds of assholes. Rep. Foley is obviously a deeply troubled […]
SC Sex Toy Ban?
Note: Margaret is on the road and away from her computer (she’ll be back on Monday), but said we should post this story: South Carolina state representative Ralph Davenport (Republican, SC) has proposed a bill that would make sex toys illegal in SC. If passed, selling them would be a felony in the state. More […]
Wisconsin Lovin’
—–Original Message—– From: jjuneau Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 9:59 AM To: margaretcho Subject: Wisconsin lovin’ Hello Margaret Cho. My name is Joe Juneau and I am writing to you with something I’m sure you are already inundated with… stories about hope! I’ve been a huge fan of yours for many many years and have […]
Bring ‘Em Home Now
The terrible Iraq war continues, for three years now, and Bush won’t bring the troops home. Isn’t that typical of a straight man – unable to prematurely withdraw? I performed at “Bring ‘Em Home Now!”- the massive anti-war concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom last night, and it was a lavish, star-studded sold out affair. I […]
Worst Lady
“What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this–this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them.” Eew. This is what Barbara Bush […]

“They Don’t Know, Who We Be.” But They Will.
Note from Team Cho: We want to thank all of you for being so motivated and passionate and inspiring and uplifting, and to share with you what people are sharing with us. Thank you for your spirit. ________________________________ Margaret, I usually don’t write to people I don’t know (unless they’re my reps in Congress). I’ve […]
“Let’s Roll”
I am getting lots of email that are like this. “Whooo-hoo!!! We won!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” It just goes to show how incredibly dumb the Bush voters are. They are not treating this like an election, with many lives at stake with a full blown war being fought by our kids in Iraq; cataclysmic errors […]
Don’t Despair, Act
I know that we would like to question the whole of democracy. I can’t believe Bush won either, but there isn’t time to despair. What is needed now is action, not hopelessness. What is important is that there has been tremendous progress in mobilizing people to create change. Remember, more voters turned out this year […]
I Just Voted
I just voted with my absentee ballot. The directions seem more confusing than ever and there is a lot of room for error. You have to be particularly careful and keep everything within the margins. Don’t make mistakes and don’t change your mind halfway through. There should be more information given on how to vote […]
Why I’m Political
Why am I political? Because society’s consistent and constant disregard and lack of respect for minorities, even the title ‘minority,’ when in many areas of the country we are in fact the majority, is too much to bear silently. Their insistence at our invisibility, whether it is as subtle as non-inclusion, or as loud as […]
