Here is some stuff I have been reading that I thought folks might like:
- March 12th – Does fighting obesity also mean fighting corporations? So it seems – Good week for Corporate Mendacity – Shame on Disney specifically – nice way to be shitty.
- March 12th – Anti-justice? Wow. – “Glenn Beck is anti-justice. And he’s telling his radio audience that Jesus Christ was anti-justice. It’s hard to see how that doesn’t make Glenn Beck anti-Christ. (The word there is an adjective, but the noun would also seem to fit.)”
- March 12th – Instead of men worrying about dropping the soap, pay attention to women in the military being raped – Sharing, just because this kind of thing seems to something that culture and the media are still turning a blind eye to. I don’t understand why people aren’t screaming about it.
- March 12th – Banks are vampires – And people think that I am cynical about corporate america – I think I am just realistic.
- March 10th – Family Feud politics – Ya Know I always liked Jeopardy better.
- March 10th – Single Ladies – OMFG Awesome – is there anyone out there who isn’t reading this?
- March 9th – Reproductive Writes: Breaking The Bond – I feel so wonderful to be such a fabulous target of everyone who wants to “help”
- March 6th – Photo –
- March 5th – Remains of the Day: Why DRM Doesn’t Work Edition [For What It's Worth] – This is the 2nd thing like this I’ve seen in the last few weeks – but still so true.
- March 5th – How covering up for abuse is sadly common – The dirty little secret of the Paterson situation is he reacted like many and I’d guess most people that know a man who beats his partner do—by backing up the man, and blaming the woman if she makes a fuss. It’s one of those many male privileges you hear so much about.
- March 5th – Trading Bibles for Porn – I think I have to admire this initiative – while wondering what is in it for straight women – maybe there should be a playgirl option
- March 4th – Put down that latte and stroke my pistol – Beware – Lattes might dissolve your testicles.
- February 28th – It’s not the sex, it’s the sexism –
- February 25th – (title unknown) – Awesome Math Humor!
- February 25th – Circles: Islamic Agents Of Evil – I’m sharing the punchline – “KOREARANIANS ARE GOING TO FATTEN UP OUR CHILDREN AND SHOOT THEM INTO SPACE TO BRING ABOUT THE BUDDHIST APOCALYPSE.” but the visual is the key.
- February 24th – The gathering storm –
- February 24th – Is it just us, or does advertising really blow lately? –
- February 24th – You can live on $40k, as long as you have a wife-servant – “No, sorry, folks. If you have someone who’s doing the work of one or several professionals in exchange for a slightly larger grocery and clothing bill, you are not living on your take home pay. You are living on your take home pay plus the market value of the free services that person provides, minus her living expenses, and you are not entitled to those free services just because you have a wang. “
I could give you a long list of the pile of crap that has been the last two weeks (not that they have been bad, just unexpectedly busy), but unfortunately I am still too f’ing busy.
I promise I’ll check my email and return personal mail and calls as soon as my brain stops being on fire.
Here is some stuff I have been reading that I thought folks might like:
- February 22nd – Facing Up To It – “If you want to argue that “whatever” happened in the “war on terror” was necessary because of the magnitude and novelty of the threat, then you had better be willing to face what the “whatever” entailed.”
- February 22nd – Yogurt, Perfected – Oh! Goddess I might need to try this again!
- February 22nd – Utah Bill Equates Miscarriages With Criminal Homicide- REALLY. – “A bill in the Utah state legislature that has passed both the House and Senate this week now awaits Governor Gary Herbert’s signature- and will make it a crime for a woman to have a miscarriage, as well as make induced abortions a crime in some instances. ” I think I’ll be detouring around Utah from now on.
- February 22nd – Those Fantastic Incredibles! – I love this movie, very much like the article – but what occurred to me in at the end: How sad is it, that to pass the Bechdel test, which so few movies do, all it took was two lines of dialog.
- February 22nd – Quick Notes: Weddings, Vodou, and School Holidays – “Pagan Holidays in New Jersey: In a final note, word has been spreading through Pagan e-mail lists that the New Jersey State Board of Education has added the eight Wiccan/Pagan “Wheel of the Year” holidays to its “official” list.” How cool is that . . .!

In one of their first arguments to the court, the defendants said that certain “traditional” faiths are first tier faiths and that those faiths were meant to have equal rights and protections under the United States Constitution, but that all of the other faiths were second tier faiths, and were not meant to have the same equal rights and protections under the United States Constitution as the first tier faiths.’”
- February 18th – Things I just don’t understand – “Why are these grown-ass men acting all butt hurt because some girls took pictures of themselves for their friends? How on earth is that about the coaches and their feelings? “
- February 18th – Roger Ebert’s Last Words, con’t. – “If we think we have physical imperfections, obsessing about them is only destructive. Low self-esteem involves imagining the worst that other people can think about you. That means they’re living upstairs in the rent-free room.”
