I sort of feel bad for the Clinton supporters — watching the debates Tuesday, I did get the distinct feeling there was some media bias towards Obama. Not much mind you, nothing that she couldn’t overcome if she was a more likable candidate*, and absolutely nothing like what some of her more unhinged supporters seem [...]
It seems that even “Socks” Clinton has crossed over to endorse Barack Obama:
Probably at least partially in retaliation for the gross indignity of being named “Socks”.
How surreal. I have Slayer’s Rein in Blood playing in the office, while Maria Callas belts out Madama Butterfly in the kitchen. I wander back and forth as I refill my drink.
There’s a spot in the hallway where they start to mingle, and I find I can create some blends in the ambiance by moving [...]
It may seem obvious, but symbols are hugely important, and a young, inspiring, black anti-war President with the middle name Hussein sends one hell of a fucking message. It’s an olive branch to all the countries saner than ours who have watched with dropped jaws as the world’s greatest nation got hijacked by a corrupt, [...]
I just got through watching Mona Lisa Smile. In a nutshell, Dead Poets’ Society for feminists.
Absolutely fantastic movie, I recommend everyone see it. That said, I’m not really sure what to write about it. I’m tempted to tell you how I’ve got all these emotions whirling through my system which I can’t be expected to [...]
You might remember that a few weeks ago we discovered that Phil Valentine needs gay marriage to be illegal, because government permission is the only thing keeping him from giving in to his cravings for a lifetime of hot bovid lovin’. Well Phil, if you get a chance, tonight’s your last chance to see the [...]
This adorable LOLCat made me think of my previous cat Waddy, who also had crossed-eyes.
My current friend Genghis Kat is awesome, but Waddy was with me for seven years or so, through some of the roughest times of my life. I miss him so much sometimes.
Mutualist Kevin Carson:
New Class progressivism continued to flourish among welfare statists after WWII; it heavily influenced both interest group pluralism and neo-conservatism, and the shadowy borderlands in-between [...] The most notable modern descendant of the “progressive” social engineer, by the way, is Hillary Clinton. Her ideal government is a giant matriarch, like Godzilla in an [...]
People’s Branch is doing Death and the Maiden. It’s really very powerful, go see it if you can.
Of course part of the message is “torture == bad” — so Republicans may want to skip it.
On a side note, the play is loosely based on the happenings in Chile under the Pinochet regime — a regime [...]
It has recently occured to me that Barack Obama, being born August 4, 1961, would make history in another way apart from the obvious — he would also be the first president from Generation X.
To me this has a lot of important implications, and I can’t quite wrap my head around all of them them [...]
Poet, philosopher, composer, and solver of all the world's problems. Oh, and I code perl at the day gig.
