I stole this from racialicious. I think it’s kind of amazing since she came to Swat along with a bunch of other folks. It’s cool getting to hear/learn from movers and shakers in this community!

So related to the previous post, Rush Limbaugh went off on a horrible rant about Sotomayor on his radio show (who the fuck funds/allows/listens to this guy, it’s so scary that some people still do)
As if it needed mentioning, his comments were racist and sexist and he went on to call both Obama and Sotomayor [...]

Really Quiznos?
I’m generally not that uncomfortable with sexually explicitly advertising but really Quiznos? You had me blushing. This seems like a bit much and I don’t see why women have to be so BLATANTLY sexualized to get the point across.
