I Love my 1996 Subaru and Schummer’s Super Sunoco
I just got a call from my mechanic that my car has passed inspection and is ready for pick up. This is great news, because I thought I’d be paying for some substantial repairs: we had some brutal potholes this summer and my brakes were feeling squirrelly even though they were replaced less than [...]
Read More..>>Naked Bike Ride (NSFW)
Let me tell you, riding in the Philly Naked Bike Ride was no joke, even if it WAS the funniest thing I think I’ve ever done in my life. About 300 of us, most in at least some stage of undress (the men were, by and large, more bold about stripping down entirely than the [...]
Read More..>>Thanks to My Donors!
Big thanks to EVERYONE who helped out with donations over the past couple of weeks, including Maya, Peter, Gary from Allentown who sent me a $10 bill in the mail, and the always divine Alexandra the Purloined Sirloin. I raised almost exactly enough to afford that new bike wheel, which I’m picking up tomorrow.

In the US, it’s considered oh-so-boooooooring-and-dreary-and-not-biartisan-kissy-face to even discuss war crimes trials for Bush and his minions. Not so in Spain:
A Spanish court has taken the first steps toward opening a criminal investigation into allegations that six former high-level Bush administration officials violated international law by providing the legal framework to justify the torture of [...]

Via TPM: “I defy you not to be charmed.”
And the fact is daniels IS charming. And funny: listen to her basically call Vitter a pervert, saying “I guess the biggest difference is I’m open with my sexual activity“, and then say he should be in jail, saying “i might be a porn star, but at [...]
YAY!!!! NEW COMPETENT PRESIDENT WHO ISN’T DRUNK!!!!
Our long national nightmare is now beginning to come to a close.
I am so happy right now, it’s hard to describe. Not much to say, listening to the new president.
Injunction!
Judge Idee Fox issued an injunction against the Mayor today, preventing the closure of the libraries. It’s well worth delving into the comments for legal analysis. Also, a lot of excellent stuff here about the City’s projected $40 million dollar surplus?
It’s a victory, but not the end. However, now’s a time to celebrate: [...]
What I Would Like To See
Sometimes I think I’ve been a little shrill about the pools and libraries, emphasizing the negative over the positive. So I want to imagine something that I think would be truly awesome.
It’s June 2009 in a neighborhood slated to lose a pool. But instead of a bunch of uncomfortably hot kids and adults, [...]
