"God - Dat Merry Prankster " ANNIE ANNIE ANNIE, ANNIE NO FANNY . . . TIME Mag "While dominant society has embraced a binary gender system (male-female), Ms. Mouse believes this is only a construction. Gender is a fluid and mutable category, open to a range of emotion and identity. We cross the boundaries of the traditoinal binary gender system all the time in our daily lives. In short, Ms. Mouse is a transgendered mouse. She believes that what you look like to others doesn't matter, it's how you identify that counts." ["Chapelle (nee Chap) Mouse" - a transgendered puppet used to promote chapel activities at Episcopal Divinity School (Cambridge, MA). Ms. Mouse "came out" in a column in Common Fare: The Newsletter of the Episcopal Divinity School, where she was promoting the upcoming Queer Week at the school.] DO YOU BOYCOTT? Yes - We boycott Wal-Mart primarily because of their unfair treatment of workers and their aggressive anti-union policies.
We wrote letters and networked with activists to try to hurt their pie sales. After about 10-12 years, our little boycott must have had an effect - 'cuz the nut-fundies sold the business to more open-minded entrepreneurs. ![]() I follow politics in the way a sports fanatic follows stats and player matchups. I characterize my team as the "Rationalist-Progressives" (hint: atheist-liberals). I don't believe in anything unless I can eat it, drink it, drive it, make love to it, or otherwise discern evidence of it. I recognize no gods, no masters and "angel" jabber and kitsch make me nuts!
I'm a fiscal conservative; a social liberal; and generally predisposed to maximizing personal autonomy. If I HAD a religion, it's sacred text would be the Progressive Income Tax tables that made this country so great for much of the last century.
