don't know what this is but i'm fully on board.

In light of recent glass ceiling shattering events, timing couldn't be more perfect for the upcoming White House #StateOfWomenSummit next Tuesday! I am thrilled to participate in this opportunity for conversation about how we are doing, how far we've come, where we are, and where we can go! Also @uswomen2016 is a true testament to the legacy of this White House. Conversations creating awareness among both men and women of how we can better attain and utilize gender parity have bubbled with intention, passion, determination, and grit. So thank you @michelleobama and @barackobama. And if you have questions you want addressed at the summit, you can submit by 1ET today using #stateofwomen! @uswomen2016 theunitedstateofwomen.com

another legislative banger from our home state

The controversy surrounding lethal injection drugs and their availability intensified following Oklahoma's botched execution of Clayton Lockett, and now Tennessee lawmakers believe they've come up with a solution: electrocution. On Thursday evening, Republican Governor Bill Haslam signed a bill into law allowing the state to electrocute death-row inmates if lethal injection drugs can't be obtained. Eight states allow inmates to choose the electric chair rather than lethal injection, but the new law makes Tennessee the only state where convicts will not have a choice in the matter. (via)

YOU get an electric chair! and YOU get an electric chair!

how oprah celebrates national pet day

2Pz national treasurez

nEw bLoG FeAtCh!


welcome to a new recurring 2Pz column : 2Pz national treasurez, where we celebrate americans who touch our hearts. today, please welcome...shelton johnson!!!!!!111

in protest of the #shutdown, i've been watching the ken burns documentary series "national parks: america's best idea". anyone who's ever seen it will know who shelton johnson is. he's been called "the unexpected star" of the series. he was invited to the white house to watch the doc with president obama (and presumably bo obama). and remember when oprah and gayle visited yosemite national park. well, you can guess who invited them.

do yourself a favor and read all about shelton. then, let's quit our jobs and go be national park rangers, ok?
