Stop saying bad things about the world! Seriously. I mean, nothing’s more American than being happy and loving everyone. Which means that me and the CEO of the company dumping toxic waste into the town lake are totally on the same page, man. We love each other, we’re good neighbors. We both want some good [...]
Stop calling the Iraqi Conflict “war”. If you have to call it anything, it’s a Military Occupation. The war was over when the Iraqi military surrendered years ago. It might sound like I’m harping on a stupid and pointless question of semantics that does nothing to alter the framework of the debate. However, the use [...]
What the fuck? From Khalid Amayreh’s blog:
Last week, the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem released video clips showing masked Jewish settlers ganging up on and severely beating elderly Palestinian peasants near the town of Yatta, southwest of Hebron. At least three Palestinians were wounded in the unprovoked assault, including a man and his wife, both [...]
What do Cindy Jackson, 48, and Steve Erhardt, 23, have in common?
They’ve both spend over $100,000 USD on plastic surgery.
The images above are of human beings that do not exist in nature. What I find intrinsically wrong and disturbing is my reaction to both pictures. Cindy, my mind tells me, is a pretty woman. [...]
Anti-American!
I really tire of the abortion debate. Even so-called liberals that I have contact with through various political groups always claim to understand the motivations behind the Anti-American clusterfuck that is the conservative party and their holy quest to deprive women of fundamental freedoms.
I’m talking, specifically, about reproductive freedom.
You dudes: us women, well, we don’t [...]
So as I wrote in my last post, my university sucks. The only entity I current associate with, besides the U.S. Government, that now sucks more is Continental Airlines.
Although, I’m not quite sure that’s entirely fair. I presume that all airlines are just as money-grubbing and price-gouging as Continental.
So here for posterity: Airlines Suck!
Also: if [...]
So I have about a couple thousand in income a year. Blame being a full-time Philosophy student and an activist. Note to those who are interested: being a good person and learning about Shit That Matters does not pay the bills well. Thus, I live off financial aid, the contributions of my father to my [...]
Yeah, I’m going to download Mozilla Firefox 3.0 the day it comes out, June 17. I’m a huge dork. Rumor on the street is that it’s more secure, and not so much of a system hog. As someone who’s crashed her laptop several with sixty or more tags open, I’m really going to appreciate [...]
As a pre-law student and a feminist, the antics of defense attorneys in rape trials is always of particular interest. I’ve been sitting on these stories for about a week now, formulating my response. Without further ado, a glimpse inside how the American legal system dispenses justice to those lying sluts and the poor slandered [...]
Today is the 45th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act, which was passed by the late President Kennedy on June 10, 1963. Since then, we’ve come a long way, but persistent and blatant wage gaps continue to be an issue. I think that my fellow Impersonators, Lindsay and Amelia, have covered the basics far more [...]
