Catherine Robinson: Olivia's Kiss

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
I am donating 100% of my profits from the sales of Olivia's Kiss ($3.99 on Kindle) to The Spring, a local Domestic Violence Prevention and Emergency Shelter Agency.
If you own a Mac, iPad, iPhone, or Kindle, (or even if you don't!) you can buy this book and help survivors of domestic violence at the same time.

Who would stoop so low? None other than Catherine Durkin Robinson, that's who.......here

When I taught high school, I hung in my classroom a rather large piece of white cardboard that stated: Celebrate Freedom – Read a Banned Book. Underneath that caption, I listed 20 titles and authors, explaining to students that these were books banned somewhere in America today.......here

Jim Greer's Detour Into Glenn Beck-Land

How else would you explain this rant, rated “Pants on Fire” by PolitiFact, for so obscuring what is, at heart, a positive message from the President of the United States to schoolchildren about the importance of getting a good education?........here

Tampa City Councilman Charlie Miranda Wants Us To Drink Shit

Charlie Miranda has come up with a plan to turn hundreds of millions of gallons of wastewater into drinking water. All in the name of self-sufficiency. Yes, we are in the middle of a drought. But we aren’t desperate........more

I put on my hot mama jeans, did my hair, and even applied some goddamn makeup.

Kate Can Help You Sound Smart

Catherine Durkin Robinson puts words in people's mouths. For a price. The 38-year-old speechwriter charges 50 cents a word for toasts and wedding vows. Her rate for politicking Democrats is $1 a word. No such deal for the GOP. "Five dollars for Republicans,".........here........Via...tld
