I’ve been listening to Stephanie Miller for several years now...this morning everything seemed surreal...am I awake? am I asleep? am I dreaming? The loud, obnoxious scream from the telephone knocked me into consciousness...

Steph...we love you! I said in my inside voice as I struggled my way out of lala land...it was past 11am when the phone blasted me awake...as I'm answering it I'm listening to your voice...holy s**t! you were coming out...No, I didn't have a clue so you have to picture me shaking my head to awakeness so I could hear what you were saying...seems awakeness isn't a word...Itz underlined in red...wait til it sees "itz"...Steph, you will help so many others shrinking in the closet, afraid what their families will say...afraid of losing their jobs, etc...Of course, that is if they are lucky enuf to have jobs...btw, my husband lets me sleep when I'm fortunate enuf to catch a few zzzzz, I live with MS...itz a phuquen painful disease...I shoot Copaxone every morning to keep the disease at bay...anyway, enuf about me...except to say that I'm an older listener, who apparently has become a flaming liberal out of disgust for the alternative...I’m proud to have transitioned ever so gradually..so there you have it, Steph...I love your show!...I almost never oversleep so waking up this morning was rather out of the ordinary...and so on...keep doing what you do so well, Steph....I’m sorry for the pain you’ve probably lived with all these years...judging from the callers to the show today at least the liberals have open minds...the conservatives, hopefully, will be coming around before too long...

Just to emphasize how weird things are these daze we have screw-ups like Glenn Beck on the air every day, spewing his special kind of hatred...today his rolling, bulging eyes were fixed on the Jews...don’t know what his problem with the Jews is...he is a young phuqaue who has no idea what it is like to live in times of persecution and hatred...glad he’s so freaken ugly...and, of course, we can look at fat, ugly Limbaugh, who is making a pile of money for his hateful daily tirade...hey, good for Obama, he acknowledged Ramadan today...really feel bad for the New Yorkers whose panties are in a wad and are so miserable because of the mosque being built in their territory...hmm, don’t really know how I would feel...everything seems so crazy these daze...a Republican taking Teddy Kennedy’s seat...wonder if there is such a thing as turning in one’s grave...if there is, bet he’s spinning like a top...

How about the charity in Minnesota collecting millions in the name of helping the veterans...instead, it was primarily a front for Republicans...Mr. Thompson...don’t have a first name...itz probably prick... was the sole contributor according to the Minnesota Independent....Norm Coleman was graced with funds in ‘06, ‘07, ‘08, Michelle Bachman’s victory committee got money, too...hey, itz the 50th year of etch-a-sketch...Greenspan said today the tax breaks for the wealthy should expire...he feels we need the tax revenue...really? Good boy, Mr. Greenspan, now you’ve got it!...You're definitely the sharpest knife in the drawer! And, a good thing, too...that makes up for your ugliness!

Woman's suffrage took a movement.

For the first 144 years of this country's existence, women were not guaranteed the right to vote -- and winning that right did not come easily.

It took organizers who worked tirelessly and allies who fought for the cause in the halls of power. On August 18th, 1920, when the legislature of the state of Tennessee voted to ratify the 19th Amendment and affirm its place in the Constitution, it passed by a single vote.
