Open Letter to Coca-Cola and Pepsi: You Lost a Customer for Life. Go Fuck Yourselves.
Yesterday, Philadelphia’s City Council voted overwhelmingly to save our failing schools, led by an incompetent and probably corrupt superintendent, by raising property taxes by nearly 4%, the third such hike in three years. The competing proposal, to tax soda pop by 2 cents a bottle, was defeated. I wonder why?
Meanwhile, anti-soda-tax forces were [...]
A Response to Dan Rottenberg
Tara Murtha has an ibncredible peice in the Philly Weekly today, a further response to writer Dan Rottenberg’s apologia for rape. In this incredibly misguided piece filled with discredited ideas, perhaps the worst was when Rottenberg wrote:
in practice, rape and the notion of sexual conquest persist for the same reason that warfare persists: because the [...]

Obama’s negotiations with the Republicans, caught on film.
The details of Oh,bummer’s “deal” are trickling out: if, as some have said, he’s the only thing standing in the way of right wing disaster, we are totally, thoroughly fucked in the dick with a pickle fork a backhoe:

Booman Tribune, on the latest foreclosure/mortgage crisis:
How do you fix this? I have a bad feeling that you don’t. But, probably you need Congress to come up with some patchwork retroactive fix. Basically, you have a bunch of people who can’t pay their mortgages. But no one can prove that they have a right to [...]
It’s Been Dead for Some Time Now
Federal law enforcement and national security officials are preparing to seek sweeping new regulations for the Internet, arguing that their ability to wiretap criminal and terrorism suspects is “going dark” as people increasingly communicate online instead of by telephone.
Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters [...]
DISGUSTING STUFF THAT MEN DO
I swear to God, men are conditioned to behave like animals when it comes to basic bathroom hygiene. I use that word “conditioned” deliberately, since your average men’s room is a fucking disgrace: there’s typically piss all over the floor, unflushed toilets, stalls that afford you barely a modicum of privacy. So given the [...]

This story makes me angry:
The website is called “Becky & Jeremy’s Exciting Adoption Adventure,” created by a Haverford couple to capture a once-in-a-lifetime odyssey to bring home a son from Kazakhstan as well as the joys of raising a first child.
But what has happened so far to Becky Compton, Jeremy Meyer, and the 16-month-old they [...]
