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.

I'm off to Yearly Kos!!!

posted Wednesday, 1 August 2007
I'm not usually a liveblogging type, but I'll try to make regular reports.

Going to be helping to moderate the Great Plains and Western South regional caucus (along with Matt from BOR and some terrific folks from other states in the region).

Hopefully I'll be around for a little of the Rick Noriega liveblogging action planned for Thursday afternoon!

And then on Sunday, for our next Meet the Bloggers I'll be doing the 50 State Roundup segment live from the Blog Talk Radio Booth.

Planned guests include Gina Cooper, Executive Director of Yearly Kos.

Let's build us a Netroots Nation!
