The Stiletto comes from a broken home. Not broken in the commonly understood sense, but broken in the red state-blue state sense.

Like many Americans, The Stiletto’s family is a mixed bag: Multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic, multinational, ecumenical, and includes members who are gay (in-laws, but still).

The Stiletto loves them all – albeit, at a distance in election years – so anyone who disagrees with her opinions had better refrain from recklessly lobbing accusations of racism, homophobia, jingoism or imperialism.

The Stiletto blogs about blog about politics and … you name it, since these days everything has become politicized at http://thestilettoblog.com.
