Emails with a Wingnut
yesterday on facebook, i had a hilarious, but ultimately sad and frustrating, exchange with a wingnut on health care reform. It was hilarious because wingnuts are SO FUCKING DUMB. It was sad and frustrating for the same reason. Even when the facts were spelled out in giant block letters with crayon, the wingnut [...]

My girlfriend has a bad habit of not screwing jar lids on securely and capping containers with lids that don’t fit. I don’t know where she picked it up or why she’s never corrected it, but this leads to all sorts of unfunny comedy around the house.
Most of us when reaching into the fridge for [...]
The Other Rotten Thing…
…that happens when I slip into the post-Sam low-level depression is that my ability to think goes out the window for a week or more.
So right now I’m at work, trying to move forward on several grants, and my mind just isn’t there. I’m not obsessing over Sam or sitting here welling up with [...]
Galloway on Obama
A must read:
Who stole our change?
Who hijacked a popular uprising that was going to put a stop to business as usual in Washington, D.C.?
What happened to Barack Obama on his way to the White House? …
There was one thing Obama absolutely had to do, even before tackling an economic meltdown and the Wall [...]
Monday Incident
I saw them walking up the street and harassing my neighbors as I walked up my front porch. White shirts, blue ties, dark pants, hair immaculately cut and combed. I sighed: they were kidding themselves thinking that my African American churchgoing neighbors were going to suddenly abandon their congregations to join a faith [...]

Jane calls it “working with President Obama to shape our nation’s future”>, but I’ll call it what it really is.
Obama and his team thought they were going to just ram the supplemental through congress with little or no resistance. Instead, they had to fight to the very last minute, with the President himself personally whipping [...]
Shorter Obama: “Here’s a Crumb, Faggot, Now Shut Up.”
Via Americablog, NBC seems to get what the Obama Administration is doing when it gives some benefits to same-sex couples who work for the feds:
at 5:45 pm ET, Obama signs a presidential memo granting same-sex benefits to federal workers. This move, however, seems mostly about placating gay-rights advocates who have been angered by 1) the [...]
Deep Thought
Watching the Iranians protest their government even in the face of deadly force makes me think of what cowardly, lazy sheep we are here in the United States.
George Bush and his cronies stole the 2000 election and may well have stolen the 2004 election, and nobody did shit.
What’s happening in Iran today would never [...]
The US is Upset with North Korea.
Clinton said the United States seeks their release on “humanitarian grounds” and that North Korea should immediately grant the prisoners clemency and deport them.
“Obviously we are deeply concerned about the length of the sentences and the fact that this trial was conducted totally in secret,” Clinton said. “We’re engaged in all possible ways through [...]
SCHLEPTA
Last night I rode SEPTA regional rail for the first time in a few years. It wasn’t really by choice: my car broke down and I had to get out to Narberth to pick with the Dill Pickles. My buddy Nik said that once you get on the train it takes about 15 minutes [...]
