Introduction to Political Bitches

February 11, 2008 at 4:50 am (Uncategorized)

Hello world,

For an introductory post to this blog, I’d like to take the time to introduce its founders and explain our motivations behind buying a domain name called “Political Bitches” at 4:30 in the morning on a Sunday when we could have been sleeping to recoup for a homework filled afternoon. That aside, the creators of this blog (Elysa and Laura) will be updating this as often as is deemed necessary to rant, laugh, cry, or rejoice at various and assorted different domestic and international happenings. To be honest, we’ve talked and joked about doing something like this for a while, seeing as one of the first times we really talked was on election night ’04, when I (Laura) was 15 and Elysa was 17 – from that night, our bond was sealed as a special one… One in which we could instant message one another at odd hours of the night saying things such as:

Elysa: LMFAO
Elysa: ROMNEY
Elysa: LOL
Elysa: Romney thinks John Adams wrote the U.S. Constitution
Elysa: LOL

So the past couple of years of making anti-war t-shirts, attending rallies, and “OMGWTF-ing” to one-another, we’ve decided to pass on the craziness that is the “political bitches” on to you.

Keep bitching,

Laura

    Laura and Elysa – thank you SO MUCH for making this website. I may only be a newly-turned fifteen year old, but thanks to you two, I understand the political race SO MUCH MORE. I’ve been grasping at straws at cnn.com and other websites that, I realize now, had horribly written and confusing articles. Thank you, THANK YOU, for making a blog that is not full of people writing about things they don’t know anything about. Instead of having to listen to, “America isn’t ready for a female president,” or “Hillary Clinton’s a skank for not divorcing Bill Clinton” at school by people who clearly don’t know anything about politics and should be buried under large rocks. So, thank you so much for making this blog, and I’ll keep reading as long as you two keep writing!

    Great job on the blog! Way to go! It’s so nice to see women involved and passionate about this election and what’s going on in the world! I wish more were as interested.

    As an addition to this blog, for those reading the comments, may I suggest that you listen to news sources outside the US to truly see what is happening here and around the world. My husband and I regularly listen to BBC news and read international newspapers online to find out the truth about what’s happening in our own country and get a better world view of what “our” politics do to the rest of the world – we hear stuff you’d never find in an American newspaper or network or radio station.

    Keep up the great work Laura and Elysa!

    Well to start off I’m a huge Hillary Clinton supporter, meaning i know her legislative accomplishments, unlike how almost all the Obama supporters don’t know his…if you recall hardball with Chris Matthews on the Great MSNBC and not the shitty CNN. I am also 15, turning 16 in May. Hillary also has the most experience to be the President!!! I’m not saying McCain doesn’t but he is so old he would die his first day in office of a heart attack of all the excitement! And Obama should run for Vice-President, if Hillary decides it will be him, so after her two terms as President he will then have enough experinece!!!! But if it comes down to Obama as the nomination he should choose Hillary if he wants to win!!! As long as a Dem. wins, i will be happy!!!! Love the website, and GO MUGGLECAST!!!!!
