I’m a White Trash Girl Who’s Not Above Bowing to Political Pressure
Update:I’m over it. You can thank Tristan.
I Love My Life!
A couple of weeks ago, Mr. Wright and I attended a Washington Policy Center dinner in Seattle. I’ll save the “boring” political commentary that went along with this event for Citizen Gonzo, but here’s the photo: That’s economist Stephen Moore, my Hottie McHotness self, that handsome devil we call Mr. Wright, and Ben Stein. “Bueller…? … Read more
ACORN’s Roasting on an Open Fire
Note: This is piece is for my newspaper column, which will run in the Lake Chelan Mirror this week. I typically hold my column until a week after it’s published before I post it here, but because of the time-sensitive nature of the topic, I’m posting it on TheGonzoMama.com before it’s actually published. As if … Read more
Glenn Beck to Get Key to Mount Vernon, Washington – and the Haters Keep Comin’
Glenn Beck, you’ve just pissed off every liberal in America! What are you going to do next? I’m going to go on home and get myself a key to the city! The mayor of Mount Vernon, Washington (only a hop, skip and a jump from where The Gonzo Mama hides in her bedroom, with all … Read more
…And The Horse You Rode In On!

A Crash Course in Satire and Why Sterilization Doesn’t Work

I have more than enough publishing credits to claim otherwise, but to each her own opinion. Speaking of which, a Google … Read more
Bad Gratitude Monday
This weekend has been tough. I mean, really, really tough. Especially tough is trying to emotionally deal with a child leaving home… and failing miserably. I’m not ready for Princess to leave, but she is going to, nonetheless, in just under three weeks. I’m sure I’ll post more on that later. Today, however, I am … Read more
The Defense of (My) Marriage Act
(photo from latimesblogs.latimes.com) Since tying the knot with Mr. Wright in 2004, I’ve realized that not everyone who loves us actually loves the idea of us… together. In fact, many a bookmaker was put out of business when we actually made it to our first anniversary, beating every bet that our respective circles of friends … Read more
You’ve Got (Hate) Mail
As I mentioned on Bad Gratitude Monday, The Gonzo Mama received her very first hate mail, cementing her place in the world of real columnists. For those not lucky enough to live in the distribution area of the Lake Chelan Mirror, I’m posting the letter, in all its glory. The letter came from Judy Brezina … Read more
Forget Gitmo… I’ve Been Bikini Shopping
So… they’re closing Gitmo. Rumor has it United States government agencies have been engaging in some pretty inhumane tactics at Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility in the hope of extracting information from detainees about alleged terrorist activities. Why does a leading world power like the United States waste resources on questionable physical and psychological tactics, which … Read more
