Snark: to annoy or irritate

"Snark" has been in English language dictionaries since at least 1906, and Lewis Carroll used the word to describe a mythological animal in his poem, The Hunting of the Snark (1874). Most recently, the word has come to characterize snappish, sarcastic, or mean-spirited comments or actions directed at those who annoy or irritate us.

At first, this blog was just going be a place to gripe, but because it's more satisfying to take action than it is to merely complain, now most of the posts/reposts suggest ways to get involved in solving problems.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell--Don't Wait to Add Your Signature



"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is a national disgrace. It is codified bigotry and it needs to be repealed now.

President Obama and Democrats in Congress said they'd repeal this anti-gay policy before the end of the year and this is their last chance to do it.

The House has already passed a bill repealing "DADT," but -- as usual -- it's stuck in the Senate.

Last week, Gov. Howard Dean asked DFA members to sign our petition calling on Senators to repeal this horrible policy and tens of thousands of members from across the country responded.

The Senate Armed Services Committee is set to hold hearings on repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" this Thursday and Friday. Click here to  Join Gov. Howard Dean and thousands of Democracy for America members in calling on the Senate to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" right now.

Sign our petition today and we'll make sure that each and every signature we get is delivered to Senators on Thursday, right before the hearings begin.

Thank you for everything you do.

--Charles Chamberlain, Political Director
Democracy for America
