BSG: Blood & Chrome Webisodes Start Today

You longtime TransGriot readers know how much I loved the reimagined Battlestar Galactica and I'll admit I did shed a tear or two when it ended with the survivors of the Colonies ending up on our Earth.

Was pissed when Caprica was canceled after only one season, but now I'm happy to hear that the long rumored Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome series which focuses on a fresh out of the academy William Adama ten years into the First Cylon War is moving forward.  

It's being released starting today in a ten episode series of 12 minute webisodes on Machinima Prime leading up to the February 2013 two hour pilot movie on SyFy.

Whether that turns into a series probably depends on what kind of viewership the webisodes get and ratings the movie gets.

I'm loving this quote from the intial webisode.  "You looking for some action? There’s the girl who’s going to give it to you.”

Rep. Alan Grayson-Expand The Voting Rights Act

I'm so happy Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) is going to be back in Congress.   We have definitely missed his tell it like it T-I-S is voice inside I-495.  Welcome back, and this time hope you gt to stick around for a while.

In this video he talks about expanding the Voting Rights Act beyond just the South in light of the voting suppression shenanigans the GOP tried to execute there and elsewhere.in the country.

2012 TransGriot NFL Picks-Week 10

The Texans got their second half of the season started with a 21-9 win over the Buffalo Bills at Reliant last Sunday to keep the AFC's best record at 7-1.  

They now have an opportunity to atone for that disastrous debut on NBC's Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers.  

In this Sunday's game they face another NFC North Division opponent in the Chicago Bears.  They are the other NFL squad they've never lost to in franchise history (Miami is the other at 7-0) and have beaten them both times they faced them.  But this 2012 edition of the Bears are 7-1 and will be a formidable challenge at Soldier Field.   And yep, they trashed the Tennessee Traitors 51-20.

You can bet the Texans will have the desire to show the national media they are serious contenders to be playing in the Super Bowl down I-10 east in February.

I had a wonderful Week 9 and missed my perfect week again with a 13-1 record.  Got the Redskins-Panthers game wrong while Mr. Watts went a respectable 11-3.   Thanks to moi getting the Seattle-Minnesota and Pittsburgh-NY Giants games correct that we disagreed on, with seven weeks left in the regular season my lead over my fellow Texan has grown to six games.   
 
So y'all know the drill for this season long prognostication contest.  Mike's picks are here.  Mine are in underlined bold print.  Once again we have only fourteen Week 10 games to sort through because the Cardinals, Browns, Packers, and the Redskins are on their bye week.

Stacie Laughton-New Hampshire Trans State Rep!

When the New Hampshire state legislature begins its session on January it will be only two seats shy of flipping control of the Senate back into Democratic hands at 13-11.   The 400 member New Hampshire House will have a 221 member Democratic majority under the leadership of Terrie Norelli as Speaker of the House.

The Democratic majority will also contain the first open trans person ever elected to a US state legislature. 

On Tuesday Democrat Stacie Laughton easily beat out two Republican candidates in the Ward 4 state legislative race in Nashua to become New Hampshire's first trans state representative.

In addition to being the first ever open trans legislator elected to a US state legislative seat, she also becomes the first elected trans state legislator since Althea Garrison accomplished that feat in neighboring Massachusetts 20 years ago

“I believe that at this point, the LGBT community will hopefully be inspired,” Laughton said Wednesday. “My hope is that now maybe we’ll see more people in the community running, maybe for alderman. Maybe in the next election, we’ll have a senator.”

Laughton said in an interview she also would like to work on legislation to make it easier for trans people to be recognized in the state, including measures that would make it easier for group members to change their gender on state-issued IDs and being able to use the restroom of their choice.

“The state needs to be welcoming and affirming and sending that message that we will be welcoming and you won’t be discriminated against in New Hampshire.” .

I sure hope so Rep-Elect Laughton, especially in light of the fact that just three years ago a trans rights bill was voted down 24-0 in a then Democratically controlled predominately female New Hampshire Senate after it passed by one vote in the New Hampshire House.   It was galling in light of the fact they had no problem passing a same gender marriage bill in the same session.  

Hopefully Rep-Elect Stacie Laughton can help change that.

Well Conservafools, When Are You Leaving?

It Doesn't Pay At The Ballot Box To Be A Misogynst

Guest post by Renee of Womanist Musings, who is all that and four bags of ketchup flavored potato chips.

One of the reasons that the GOP believed that Barack Obama was elected four years ago, is that they weren’t conservative enough.  This election cycle, several GOP candidates increased their misogynist rhetoric and engaged in what can only be described as a war against women.  Considering that women make up fifty percent of the electorate, this was hardly a smart decision, as the election results proved last night. 

Todd Akin who referred to doctors who provide abortions (which by the way is a perfectly legal medical procedure), as “terrorists,” didn’t fare well last night.  Apparently these doctors who have undergone years of medical training perform abortions on women who aren’t actually pregnant and scare women into making the decision to abort.  By his reasoning, women aren’t capable of making up their own minds about what to do with their bodies.  Todd Akin also at some point must have failed basic biology because he also believes that women cannot get pregnant from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down, Akin said.”  Don’t feel sorry for Akin because he lost the election last night to the incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill because he now has time to go back to school and actually learn some basic biology.  Education should after all be a lifelong effort.

Tom Smith who tried to create distance between himself and Todd Akin compared pregnancy conceived through rape to being a single mother.  Someone should have advised him that you cannot run away from misogyny while sticking your foot in your mouth.  Tom Smith lost his election bid to democrat Bob Casey.  

Richard Mourdock  came under fire for saying, "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."  I suppose this is a polite way of saying that when life gives lemons, make lemonade.  Well, Mourodock better get his lemonade stand ready because he lost his election bid to Democrat  Joe Donnelly in Indiana. 

Joe Walsh wanted the world to know that he is pro birth no matter what the situation is. Apparently, modern medicine means that the life of the mother is never at risk.  He stated, “There is no such exception as life of the mother, and as far as health of the mother, same thing.” I wonder if he believes all of the science aired on Star Trek as well? Joe Walsh lost his re-election bid last night to Democratic challenger Tammy Duckworth in Illinois' 8th congressional district.

Last night’s election results was more than a win for President Barack Obama, it was a win for women; it was a win for reproductive freedom.  All of these straight cisgender white men will never be in a position to have to choose between carrying a pregnancy to term and having an abortion, yet for some reason, they believe that they have the right to legislate our wombs. There can be no other word to describe this than misogyny.   

Uniformly, they based their convictions on religious beliefs and by so doing, have forgotten that the U.S. has a separation between church and state for a reason. Christianity is far from the only religion in America and its place is most certainly not in government. Measures like sex education, access to free or low cost birth control, as well as lessening the income gap between men and women would go a long way to reducing the number of abortions but that is not something any of these men advocated for.  Instead their agenda was to control women and sympathise with rapists.  

As a woman, these decisions buoy my belief in the system.  Due to free speech laws, these men certainly had the right to say what they did but that does not mean that they should be free of consequences.  The people have spoken and advocating for a lessening of reproductive freedom is not a something the country is interested in.  Hopefully this will be a lesson to legislators that a woman’s womb belongs only to her and should not be subject to government intervention.  

Though the U.S. is still clearly very much a sexist society because women have yet to reach parity with men and this is especially true when it comes to marginalized women, these election results prove that we are willing to use the power we do have to our benefit.  Hopefully, it will serve to remind young women that the rights which our foremothers fought so valiantly for will always be under threat until we achieve true equality in all spheres of life with men. This is why there will never be an election that we can afford to sit home and pretend that what happens does not affect our lives.  Even if you personally believe that abortion is not something you would choose, women should have the right to decide individually.  Every vote matters when it comes to ensuring that women retain our right to choose.  

The Streak Is Over

In addition to seeing history being made with the reelection of President Barack Obama and the election of the first openly gay senator in Tammy Baldwin, there was another positive political development last night.

The losing streak for marriage equality ballot initiatives is halted at 32 straight losses.

For the first time ever, a ballot measure against same-sex marriage in Minnesota) was defeated and voters said yes to marriage-equality measures in Maine, Maryland and Washington state.

As Sharon Lettman-Hicks, the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition said in a Washington Post interview, “It is clear that marriage-equality opponents are fighting a losing battle and our movement for full equality is at a tipping point.  More and more Americans are realizing that LGBT people deserve the same protections to care for the people they love.”

Damn skippy they do.   We also need to dispense with this played out conservative bull feces of putting people's human rights up for a majority vote and their political gain.

It's a tactic that the Forces of Intolerance may have used one time too many.

4 More Years! 4 More Years!

Well, I can finally say it.  Reelected and it feels so damn good!  

As of 10:18 PM EST President Obama was reelected for a second term.  He'll be at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue along with the First Family until January 20, 2017.

Ho hum.  Another presidential election, another electoral college blowout as Nate Silver predicted.  Pop your collar, Nate.    

For those of you conservafools who loudly stated if that happened you would move to Canada, what's taking you so long to leave? 

Mitch McConnell is probably eating a 20 piece bucket of original recipe Kentucky Fried Crow right now in addition to being pissed that once again the Tea Klux Klan extremists cost him another opportunity to pick up seats and become Senate Majority Leader

Aww, my bleeding liberal heart has no sympathy for the man who stated that the GOP's sole political goal should be to make Barack Obama a one term president.

Well, your azz is running for reelection in 2014.  It's Ditch Mitch time Kentucky!

Excuse me while I gloat discuss what happened last night.   The pundits claimed there was no enthusiasm on our side to reelect President Obama.   Y'all failed to ask African-Americans, Latinos, women and GLBT folks that question.   African-Americans voted in even higher numbers than we did in 2008, making Dr. King's prophetic statement about the Black vote a reality once again.  

While we held on to the US senate, expanded the majority and are adding more women to our Democratic Senate caucus, unfortunately the Crying Man will still be the House Majority Leader when the 113th Congress starts up in January.  However, Alan Grayson (D-FL) will be back and 2012 Shut Up Fool of the Year award contender Allen West (R-FL) won't.

Roll that beautiful POTUS victory speech video.





But this was definitely President Obama's night and I'm deliriously happy he won't be leaving the White House until January 20, 2017.  

Hmm, may have to see if I can get to DC for that second inauguration. 

Coulterdamus Was Right

You know what they say about a broken clock being right twice a day, and this moment at CPAC 2011 was one of Ann Coulter's.rare instances of being right.

February 12, 2011...take it away, Ann.:

Good Luck, Ness!

In case you TransGriot peeps are wondering, we do have a trans candidate running for office on this Elecrion Day, and once again she's in my Lone Star backyard.

My homegirl Vanessa Edwards Foster is a Green Party candidate running for the US Congress and the District 9 seat currently occupied by Rep. Al Green (D-TX)

While she has some long odds in terms of being in that 113th Congress freshman congressmember photo they will take in January, the old saying is you gotta be in it to win it. 

Ness has been working on campaigns for other local politicians such as our current mayor Annise Parker, been active in precinct level politics since the late 90's in addition to lobbying multiple times on Capitol Hill as the former ED of NTAC.   We'd be lucky to have her in Washington DC representing us.

As I said during the NBJC trans town hall meeting I participated in back in September, the next level of the trans community is having increasing numbers of trans people running for and winning public office so we can be writing the laws instead of begging legislators to be included in them.

Good luck, Ness.

Thank You For My Fourth Highest All-Time TransGriot Traffic Day

If you surfed by TransGriot on October 28 to read my posts for that day, you were part of the fourth highest traffic day I've ever had on this blog since I started it on January 1, 2006.

I had 7,784 people surf by to check what I wrote concerning Roseanne Barr's transphobic tweets and the other content in this award winning blog, and I sincerely thank you for that.

In case you're wondering, my all time high was set back on April 3 when I had 9678 people check out the blog.  

Once again, thank you TransGriot readers for your support. 

It's POTUS Election Day! Handle Your Civic Business!

For those of you who had to wait until November 6 to cast your ballots in this critical and history altering 2012 presidential election, today is the day you finally get to have your say about who wins later tonight between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. 

In case you're wondering, Dixville Notch, NH and Hart's Location, NH traditionally cast the first ballots in the 2012 election at midnight EST.   In Dixville Notch it was a 5-5 tie between the POTUS and Romney. 

In Hart's Location it wasn't even close: Obama 23, Romney 9, Johnson 2.


This is the video of the POTUS' last rally in Des Moines, IA. 




Don't forget to make your selections in the down ballot races for your congressional representatives, state reps, state senators, judges, councilmembers, the other races on your ballot that are vitally important as well because they also impact the quality of your life.

Handle your civic business today, people.

Dr King Was Right About The Black Vote

One of the most basic weapons in the fight for social justice will be the cumulative political power of the Negro. I can foresee the Negro vote becoming consistently the decisive vote in national elections.'

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

He was right, as he was about many things he commented on back during his far too brief lifetime.

 FYI, you can bet that Dr. King wasn't voting for any Republicans when he cast those ballots in the 1960 and 1964 presidential elections.

The power of the Black vote is why conservatives have spent millions, colluded with each other, plotted, schemed, wrote voter suppression laws, litigated, violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act and unleashed every dirty trick possible to ensure the power of your vote doesn't decide tomorrow's election. 


Guess we should be flattered that the vanillacentric conservafool movement is so 'scurred' of the African-American vote that they would go to all that effort keep a Black man from getting another four years at a job he's done exceedingly well.

You also have to consider that despite their best Massive Resistance 2.0 efforts to frack with him and make him a one term president, President Obama is still standing and has compiled the best first term legislative record of achievement since FDR and LBJ. .

Well, we need to be tough minded enough as Dr King would say to do what we can to ensure they wasted their megamillions in that futile effort to fear and smear this POTUS, and they fail tomorrow.

And yes, the Black electorate is highly pissed about you conservafools trying to suppress our ability to vote and political payback will be a rhymes with itch. We can't let you take this country back to the 19th century and roll back our hard won civil rights without a fight.

And tomorrow, you will see what Dr. King presciently foresaw play itself out again at the ballot box.   

Piss Off A Conservafool-Vote

We have less than 24 hours until the polls open for an election in which we have two divergent paths for our nation with such stark clarity that even Stevie Wonder can see where they lead and what the ramifications are for the United States

We can either vote to continue the progress we've made under President Obama toward building an America that works for everybody, or you can vote for a lying political shape shifter who.in his own words doesn't care about 47% of the population.

Your call.   But the bottom line is that you need to get your azz out of bed on November 6 and handle your civic business.   You can damned sure bet that the people who want to bring the GW Bush policies of the last decade back will be in line tomorrow.

You need to be too so this country can move forward and not backwards to the 19th century.


 

Putting A Conservafool On Blast

Yeah, had one feeling his oats yesterday and believing the conservahype that Mitt Romney will win tomorrow and stepped to me on my FB page.  So yeah, he went where he shouldn't have and I went into Maya Wilkes mode on his azz.

Name of conservafool in question has been removed to protect the guilty, but Moni damned sure does approve of this message.

***

Dude, you're blind and willfully ignorant, so don't even try to step to me with that typical white conservative male bullshit line of 'the libruls do it too'.

You also suffer under the vanillacentric privileged delusion that you are 'colorblind'   You conservatives like to claim that race doesn't matter, while your actions say the complete opposite.  It is you white conservatives who are far more fixated on race, and you have the unmitigated gall to get huffy when people of color call you on your bullshit and hold the mirror of truth to your asses where you have to confront yourselves and your nekulturny behavior in the mirror.

It is a delusion that people of color in America cannot afford to indulge you on for our own survival in a world hostile to us.   If you as a person of color try to act as if you are white when you cannot ever pass for white, it leads to internalized racism, self-doubt and confusion. The only healthy course of action for our own sanity as people of color is to own it, be proud of it and acknowledge that it is a part of us and our culture. 

Being Black, Latino, Asian, et cetera is not something to “not see” as if it were a matter of shame and it is a calculation we must factor into our political stances as well since y'all have whiteness and the maintenance of white supremacy factored into yours.

Enough of the Sociology 101 you missed in college and back to schooling your ass about conservatism and how it is the political arm of whiteness and white supremacy. 

Your claim that you are 'colorblind' does not insulate or inoculate you from the fact that the party and movement you support is an overwhelmingly white male one.  It engages in actions that are hostile and oppressive to my people's human rights and you and other conservative leaning white males have this nauseatingly repetitive pattern of not only trying to project your behavior on your opponents, you and other whites attempt to ignore and justify what conservatism is doing with the 'libruls do it too' false equivalency line

FYI, liberals do not engage in passing voter suppression laws designed to keep my people from either voting or standing in seven hour lines to do so.   Liberals have not disrespected or insulted an African-American president and his family by using racist rhetoric or ignorantly othering him.  That's all on you conservafools, so own every racist graphic, joke or birther conspiracy theory you've hatched over the last 4 years.   

When you vote for Republicans, you tell me and other African-Americans that you not only agree with that premise that my civil rights don't matter, all you care about is your vanillacentric privilege and your fracking wallet.  

Your votes for conservatives indicate not only your values, it says you support what the party platform stands for as a Republican.   Your vote supports people and a party that thinks it is okay to racially profile people, to force women to have a child conceived in a rape or incest situation to give birth to that child, keep non-whites from voting by any means necessary, eviscerate public education, and others anyone who doesn't look like you, the almighty white male. 

Thar's truth for your ass, and if you turn off Fox Noise and really open your eyes to what's going on you could see that. But sadly, you won't. 

2012 Texans Watch-Mario Who?

The Houston Texans greeted their former number one overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft when he returned to Reliant Stadium with his Buffalo bills teammates and a $100 million free agent contract in hand.

The Texans had the last laugh as the easily rolled to a 21-9 victory to get the second half of the NFL season off to a successful start.  .

But it wasn't without plucking the nerves of the Reliant faithful as my fave NFL squad got off to a sluggish and nerve racking start as they came out of their bye week.  They watched Mario Williams sack Matt Schaub and have five tackles in his return to Houston and noted the scoreboard showed a narrow 7-6 at halftime thanks to three defensive red zone stops that only yielded for the Bills six points.

The Texans finally got the offense in gear in the second half as Arian Foster rushed from 111 yards and a touchdown against the worst run defense in the league and Andre Johnson caught eight passes for 118 yards to take control of the game and cruise to an AFC best 7-1 record.

The Texans can't afford a slow start against next week's opponent when they travel to Chicago to take on the bears at Soldier Field under the bright spotlight of another NFL Sunday night football game.

The two things the Texans have in their favor is they have never lost (2-0) to the Bears and they want to atone for stinking up the joint in their inaugural appearance on NBC's Sunday Night Football

But that game should be fun to watch.

Houston's Other Football Team Plays Tonight

My hometown has a second football team that is in the playoffs and going for a championship. 

Instead of wearing battle red, liberty white and deep steel blue, helmets and a lot of padding as they play their 60 minute games at Reliant Stadium to sold out crowds, they wear orange uniforms and kick a round ball around for 90 plus minutes over at a sold out soccer specific BBVA Compass Stadium in front of their passionate fan base.

I'm talking about the Houston Dynamo, our Major League Soccer franchise that has been quite successful ever since they started play here in 2005.  They not only won back to back MLS cup titles in 2006 and 2007, they are the defending Eastern Conference champions and played in the 2011 MLS Cup game last year.

They also became only the fourth MLS squad in the league's 17 year history to go through their home schedule undefeated and have a 27 match winning streak in games played in H-town dating back to last season.

The Dynamo struggled through most of the 2012 season and qualified as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, but they have a tendency to turn up their level of play when it's playoff time as they demonstrated last year.

The Men In Orange have already gotten their 2012 MLS playoff run off to a successful start by taking down the Chicago Fire 2-1 in their knockout round match played on October 31.

They play Sporting Kansas City, the team they knocked off last year to get to the MLS Cup championship match they lost to the LA Galaxy in their two leg Eastern Conference semifinal later tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium.   If they are successful in knocking off SKC, they will move on to the Eastern Conference finals against either DC United or the New York Red Bulls.

Let's Go Dynamo! 

Fall Back 2012 Reminder

Did you turn that clock back one hour at 2 AM?  If you didn't, you're going to be an hour early for a lot of events and appointments today.  

That might be a good thing for some of y'all and depending on that that event or appointment entails, but still, why waste the hour of sleep?

So what time is it?  Time for you to change your clocks all over your domicile

What Obama Being President STILL Means To Me

Note I didn't say 'potentially'. I have the confidence to say that he WILL be a great president. If we were going to have a first Black president I like my African descended brothers and sisters wanted him or her to be the best and brightest member of our community.    

TransGriot, 'Why Barack Obama Will be A Great President'  February 28, 2009

Four years ago I wrote a blog post that not only that laid out what President Obama's historic run for president meant to me at that time, I also wrote that February 2009 one explaining why I confidently felt he would be an outstanding Oval Office occupant.for the next four to eight years.


He hasn't disappointed me.   President Obama took over during the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, stopped the Dow from freefalling and stopped our nation's slide into a second one.

This man saved the American automotive industry, has had 33 consecutive months of job growth, appointed our first Latina Supreme Court justice in Sonia Sotomayor, passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act,  the Affordable Care Act, repealed DADT, ended the Iraq War, has us on track to get out of Afghanistan by 2014, undid the damage the GW Bush administration had done to our international image and reputation. .

In addition his aggressive persecution of anti-terrorism efforts has decimated the leadership of al-Qaeda, disrupted their operations and has Osama bin Laden resting at the bottom of the Arabian Sea.


Oh yeah, did I mention that he has been the best president ever as far as trans people like myself are concerned on issues of importance to our community such as getting the Byrd-Shepard hate crimes bill passed, appointing Amanda Simpson to an important job in his administration and his administrative heads issuing trans friendly directives and changes that have benefited our community?

And all of this was done while facing Massive Resistance 2.0 by the Republicans hellbent on making him a one-term president.

So yes, with us being two days from a critical election, I know this is the best man for the job of leading this country.  he has been tested, has grown in the job and deserves a second term to clean up the steaming pile of Bushit that was left on his Oval Office doorstep.
  
But I also knew that President Obama getting that second term was going to be harder than his winning the initial one on that historic night four years ago.

So have I had moments during this presidency when I've been upset that he hasn't gone far enough in terms of moving this country forward?   I certainly have.  I still believe this country needs universal single payer health care and also subsidized day care.  I believe DADT should have also addressed the issues of transpeople in the military

Am I still as proud of him and the First Family occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as I was four years ago?  You damned skippy I am.   I also see the importance to our next generations of kids in seeing someone who looks like them in that office who didn't have everything handed to him on a silver platter like Mitt Romney did and knowing if they bust their butts in school, they could one day be taking the oath of office themselves even if they are in a single parent home or a home with two mommies and two daddies.

It has also been important for me as a trans person to know that I have a president who values me, my fellow transpeople, the trans community and our untapped potential to help it move forward.

But it has been a life changing experience to see someone of my ethnic background in the Oval office and representing me and our nation on the international stage.

It has been depressing to see exactly where the United States is in terms of getting to Dr. King's dream of a color blind nation.  I see the white sheet wearing racism come roaring out of elements of white America who still have the misguided notion that this country belongs exclusively to them.  They have directed unprecedented levels of animus, disrespect and racist negativity at this president.    

It's also the major reason many of those whit voters are reverting to the same self destructive tendency they have had for over 150 years of voting against their own economic and political interests by casting ballots for an incompetent white man who repeatedly lies to them on November 6. 

I've done my part to move this country forward by early voting back on October 22.  Others are doing so as I write this post and both candidates criss cross the battleground states trying to get those last minute votes as other Americans who haven't had the chance to early vote get to weigh in on Tuesday.

but yes, I'm definitely hoping and praying that by 11 PM CST Tuesday the networks will have called this election for President Obama and I can go to sleep knowing that he and the First family won't be leaving Washington DC until January 21, 2017.

Yoda Comments On The Dark Side Of The Political Force

“Fear is the path to the political dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to voting Republican and suffering.”

'If kidding you think am I, see you this person from Romney rally."
