NBRA, also known as NAMBLA….
Sorry, that was childish and waaaay too easy. Plus, the Daily Show is on hiatus, so it’s not like they were going to get around to it.
Really, I’m just surprised that all five of the black republicans could agree on something.

Groin
I think I pulled my groin. Or strained it. I hope I don’t have a hernia. I know this is too much information, but I can’t help it. It’s bothering me.
It started Saturday. My lower abdomen had been sore before. I’ve been working with a different workout routine for the last few months and it often left me with sore abs. Never anything like this, though. This isn’t...

Dobson vs. Obama - washingtonpost.com →
I’m not religious, but this is a very well-formed, level-headed argument that I can actually very much agree with. Faith is a fine thing to have, and if you have faith, of course it’s going to inform your positions on issues. But we are a nation of laws, so if you want to agrue against some issue or another, use concret facts and data to argue your point, don’t scream Bible...

FMC | Rock the Net: Musicians Support Network... →
I’m thinking of dusting off my old guitar and writing a few awkwardly-worded three chord tunes, just so I can join the rest of these musicians in their stand for net neutrality.
Or, I could just breathlessly await the release of the CD at the end of next month…

Bleh
That’s pretty much it, folks. That’s how I’m feeling at the moment. I’m just feeling a little crappy, a little bleh.
It’s not that I’m angry or upset or nearing a catastrophic breakdown, not at all. I’m just flatlined, personality-wise, at the moment. No highs, no lows, just _______________

Having worked with a fair share of immegrants and bilinguals in kitchens and restaurants, I can completely attest to this. Most of the hispanics I worked with were very demure and passive when speaking in english and bold and assertive in spanish.
I didn’t need a scientific study to tell me that the reason behind it was as simple as comfort with language. You’re naturally disposed to...
Michelle Obama's so-called image problem | Salon... →
A very interesting article about Michelle, pointing out a lot of the double standards that we as white folk have about blacks in the public eye. Stop seeing the color and just see the person and you finally realize that we’re all the fucking same, people.

Musings: Founding Fathers
I’ve been steeping myself in John Adams for the past couple of months. I read the wonderful book by David McCullough and have started watching the HBO miniseries based on it. Being immersed in a time of violent upheaval and turmoil and bravery has me very nostalgic for that kind of “can-do” spirit that this country was founded on. Sure, it led to many terrible things along the...
Dobson accuses Obama of 'distorting' Bible -... →
James Dobson can go fuck himself in the most morally advantageous way possible. People who subjugate those who don’t believe what they do to a “lowest common denominator of morality” can crawl into a shallow hole and die.
I conduct my life in adherence to the Golden Rule and strive to be as good a person as I can. But because I don’t do it in a religious context, I’m...

I’m not sure how much stock you want to put in the word of a guy who was employed at the “Hanoi Hilton,” but he absolute denial of ever torturing captives, including McCain, is pretty unsettling, seeing as that is so much of his image.

When someone actually holds his feet to the fire, Bush really looks like a complete dickwad, doesn’t he? Maybe if our own media had done a better job over the last eight years, we wouldn’t be in the predicament of having this utter douchebag as the representative of our country to the world.

I wanto to go on the record as pointing out that John McCain seems to have a very confused, doddering mindset, plagued by a constant forgetting of where he is or what he may have said only moments before…
Also, can we stop fucking using this “Sept. 10th mindset/post-9/11 mindset” bullshit. Just because we were attacked doesn’t change the fucking world. People and nations...
