They Don't Ask For Much... Just For Your ChildrenAt what point does it stop being "teen outreach" and start being "a creepy need to indoctrinate other people's kids"? At 14, Sandy Milice has more experience with activism than many adults. This summer, she registered voters door-to-door and protested a visit by President Bush.... Children? In political "clubs"? "Informing"? Eeesh. When a fourteen year old knocks on my door, I may or may not be willing to purchase cookies or magazines. I don't know if I'm ready to engage our nation's "healthy, responsible youth" on the abortion question. See, the trouble is, they're children. Idiots, in other words. No offense to my extensive "tweens" readership. Thanks to the recently-relocated Alarming News. posted by Ace at 11:11 AM
CommentsMy wife got a call from some Kerry group this weekend. Turned out the caller (who berated her about her support for Bush and explained why he was voting for Kerry) was 13 years old. Posted by: Max Power on October 4, 2004 11:32 AM
This doesn't surprise me. Posted by: Kit Born on October 4, 2004 01:14 PM
OH my ... I think I would just start laughing at a 13 y/o that tried to tell me who to vote for. Of course, that might hurt their feelings, and wouldn't I get in trouble for that? Aren't we trying to protect the fragile egos of our young? My oldest is only 10, and just parrots what I tell him ... when he starts discussing politics with others, I kinda hang my head in shame - as if I've been caught brainwashing him or something. Until someone is ... oh - out of college (if they go), live on their own, paying their bills, going to work - I could CARE LESS what their political opinion is. They are living in a bubble.

Planned Parenthood is a racist, socialist organization. I've forgotten where I read it but, sheesh, they're for more than baby killing. Check it out for yourself. Posted by: on October 4, 2004 03:26 PM
The San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice is engaged in a campaign to leaflet our schools and recruit as many teens as possible. I've contacted a couple of the schools to ask if they're allowing these people on to school grounds. I also asked if they knew who these people were, if they'd checked their backgrounds, and if they were allowing materials containing opposing views to those of SDCPJ to be distributed. Their answer? "Can we call you back?" Until I KNOW, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that these people aren't pedophiles or sex offenders of any ilk...I don't want them hanging out at local schools. Actually, I don't want them there at all, but that's not my call. Sure, I don't like their message, they are free to share it with others in this country. But, if they get the chance, I want the chance to offer up the balance to those views. It's only fair. Still, I'd really prefer it not happen on school grounds. I prefer to stick with those who can legally vote. As a quick aside, San Diego Activist offers a manual on how to properly leaflet the schools...and then, for the kids who've been recruited, they offer up suggestions on how to host parties so that the kids can recruit some more. Precious, ain't it? Posted by: Da Goddess on October 4, 2004 03:28 PM
Ah, shades of the Hitler youth. Charming. For some reason I thought it was illegal for kids to be on some of these political things, like vote registration drives? Yes, no? They can't donate, I know. Posted by: Persnickety on October 4, 2004 04:21 PM

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2: Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Do I ever! It's all I remember! Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations. I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said. She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Gee I wonder why Walz allowed Somali pirates to steal 1 billion in American dollars... could it possibly be that criminal illegal aliens are voting in elections and the Democrats know it and play to that illegal constituency?
Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
