I hate red state morons
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
ps, I have been avoiding the news because every time I read it for more than 5 minutes I end up in tears.
My daughter is graduating from college in June and I want to enjoy her victory over the odds. They told her in 9th grade that her grades were so bad that she wouldn't graduate from high school if she didn't change things. She set her jaw in determination and looked at that counselor like "Yeah? We'll see about that." I am so proud of her. I don't mind tears as long as they are tears of joy. I think I need to invest in some waterproof mascara before June, eh?

Mike Pence R(etard) Indiana
If he really wants to balance the budget he might start by not accepting more in federal money than his state actually pays. My state is breaking even even with a 52% increase in federal funding.
Jesus Christ, this fucktard pisses me off. He's a misogynistic bastard from hell. What? Does he think that because his mommy squirted out six brats that all women live for that shit?
And gee, I wonder why he's against the public option? Could it be that he's owned and operated by the health insurance companies?
Man, this guy is easy to hate.

How Slavery Really Ended in America
by Adam Goodheart NYT Apr 1, 2011
"...As routine as the usage soon became, however, a hint of Butler’s joke remained, a slight edge of nervous laughter. A touch of racist derision, too: William Lloyd Garrison’s abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator, carped, justly enough, that it was offensive to speak of human beings that way. Yet in its very absurdity, reflecting the Alice-in-Wonderland legal reasoning behind Butler’s decision, the term also mocked the absurdity of slavery — and the willful stupidity of federal laws that, for nearly a century, had acknowledged no meaningful difference between a bushel of corn and a human being with dark skin. Eventually, even black leaders adopted it..."

Saudi Arabian women

The Saudi women taking small steps for change
Before I flew to the Saudi capital Riyadh to make a film about the position of women in the kingdom, I met a Saudi woman studying in the UK who told me, "Saudi Arabia is the biggest women's prison in the world".
They're still going to be stuck in the 7th century after the oil runs out, only nobody will care. The silly primates who dominate this planet will be fighting it out to see which of the 1 billiion lucky ones will survive, provided the natural resources can still support that many.

Update Sat Apr 2, 2011
Nine people were killed and 81 injured in the disturbances, all from bullet wounds...
So because a Koran was burned in Florida UN workers were killed in Afghanistan?
I am still trying to wrap my head around this.
Yeah, are the pipelines and mining possibilities worth this?
I don't think so.

Abandoning Private Manning
Yeah, the owner/operators of the American government get really pissed if any of their bullshit is revealed. And he did that. How soon before he is stark raving mad and they commit him to be experimented on by batshit crazy "patriots" who've read too many writings of the Japanese and Nazi scientists that we welcomed with open arms after WWII? Go ahead - imagine that I am imaginative, or take a good look at what they are doing.
I'm watching Eat Pray Love , and frankly, I'm finding it an incredibly self-indulgent piece of crap. Not that the book is something that I would read in the first place. I didn't turn it off because I laughed inside of 22 minutes. That was it. Jeez, Hollywood should listen to the people they employ to clean up after them, they might learn something.

I'm watching the Skins VOL 4 commentary and after spending a whole day with my friend from another English speaking country and watching it I decided that UK English, as fascinating and wonderful as it is, and S CA American are not the same language...and a couple of people on Skins have disdain for either Americans or American filmakers...
Whatever.
Whatever.
Something to listen to while you go read something worthwhile

Alison manages the threee stooges
I'm listening to Editors Roundtable on KPBS radio. Gawd I hate bowtie Bob, but he's sooooooo indictative of how fucked up San Diego is. A conservative who never met a business he couldn't paint a pretty picture for and suck up to who just has to be a flaming fag or a major stick-up-the-ass church lady. Possibly both.
I am laughing my ass off. Only one of these guys has a clue.
I may be loud about hating local rethugs, but they ain't exactly endearing themselves to even their own party members nationwide.
