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.

Easily WrappedThings You Can Give Me for my Birthday!

  1. Sign the SCHIP Petition.  We're at 92 sigs last time I looked.  I'd love to see that at 100 by the end of the day.  Can you help us out?  If you've already signed, you can get one more person who thinks 13.30 isn't too much to cover the thousands of families who will be able to have health coverage when S-CHIP becomes law.
  2. Senate 2008 Guru already gave me a fantastic present by adding Rick Noriega to the Expand the Map page.  (He's in some great company there-Andrew Rice from Oklahoma, and Larry Larocco from Idaho.)  If you have a few bucks to add to the kitty you can make S2008G's day by being one of the six as well as mine.  Talk about bang for your bucks!!!
  3. If you're in Houston, you can party down at the TexBlog Pac Fundraiser.  Because nothing says "Happy Birthday" like a chance to turn the Texas Lege back to adult supervision.

In all seriousness, let me thank all of you for making blogging such a rewarding part of my life.  You all inspire me, amaze me, and often amuse me every day.  I look forward to many happy returns beside you.
