A Progressive Warrior Queen-Isn't That an Oxymoron?

In case you don't know the story of Boadicea (Boudicca), in a nutshell it goes like this.

Boadicea's tribe, the Iceni, lived peacefully as a client tribe under Roman rule. After her husband's death corrupt Roman officials reneged on the agreement that left the Iceni in peace. When Boadicea, still the leader of her tribe, went to protest this, she was flogged and her daughters were raped before her eyes.

She returned to her tribe and raised a rebellion against the Romans that was short lived, brutal, and ended in her death.

Understand, I'm not looking to raze Colchester, or leave piles of bodies behind me. However, the Radical Right Religionists and the Corporate sponsors of the Chattel Society have declared war on us who are "others".

I say we fight back. Right now, I'm fighting back primarily at Texas Kaos. Please come join me.

Join us live on Meet the Bloggers on BlogTalkRadio at 12 noon EDT today for our special YearlyKos Convention Edition! We'll speak with YearlyKos Executive Director Gina Cooper about the success of this year's event, followed by a panel discussion with guest bloggers Christina Siun of FireDogLake and DailyKos blogger and candidate for Congress Berry Welsh.

We'll also have the 50 State Blog Roundup segment, anchored by Texas Kaos blogger Boadicea. Sponsored by Blue Indiana and Texas Kaos, the 50 State Blog Roundup is a podcast version of the news shared from the members of the 50 State Blog Project every week on participating blogs. Featured blogs from the Roundup this week include a shoutout to Loaded Orygun for doing the roundup this week as well as:

My Left Nutmeg is feeling a little home state pride for Senator Chris Dodd's smackdown of Falafel O'Reilly in " O'Reilly vs Chris Dodd on Dkos".
In "FEMA Trailers, Formaldahyde and Arizona", AZNetroots points out that Phelps Dodge thinks employee housing drenched in carcinogens is a-ok as long as it's cheap enough.
And finally, some of that whatchamacallit, original reporting, is being done at Washblog, around the proud voter suppressors in the Republican Party of King County.
