Sometimes when I hear all the political rhetoric flying around, I think there's no way it could actually reflect your average guy on the street. It's just too...crazy. Clearly all of the nuts we're seeing on TV are just the loud, proud radicals who get their voices heard because it's interesting. But as it turns [...]
There's been a whole heap of nasty stuff being thrown around about women lately. I mean, back when I was twenty, if you would've suggested that we'd be bickering about safe access to abortion or questioning if an assault victim "asked for it" in 2012, I would have chortled (because I did and still chortle [...]
I just had to share this picture. My brother-in-law took it while attending the Pride Parade up in Seattle. Obviously it's a great representation of where Obama and Romney stand when it comes to marriage equality. But that's not the only reason it sticks with you. There's Obama, the mostly hopeful guy (I could get [...]
I just heard on the news (granted it was local news, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt) that two-thirds of Americans want to do away with the Affordable Care Act. I'm guessing this is probably inaccurate because if you break down the parts of "Obamacare" for people and then ask them about [...]
So I saw two videos that made me laugh today. One was really frickin' funny. The other was just so sad that I did the "Oh dear lord I can't believe these people actually exist" laugh that isn't really laughing at all.I'll start you out with the disturbing one because I'm an "eat the food [...]
Happy Holidays one and all! Time for the yearly letter. For those of you who don't know, this is kind of how I got started with all the blogging stuff. Once a year, I'd send out a snarky little letter about the state of the world -- not much pressure, except for the fact that [...]
So I didn't occupy anything today. At least not in the protesting sense. I was too busy figuring out how to make five zillion double-sided, three-hole-punch copies for my kid's teacher. So I suppose I was occupying space in the universe, just maybe not where it was most useful.Although that's arguable. Here in Reno, the [...]
So Newt and Elfie have taken a sudden interest in politics (I have no idea how that happened), and the stuff that's been coming out of their mouths lately has been, well, enlightening. The other day, Elfie made a rather astute observation about Republicans and evil aliens. Apparently now it's Newt's turn.Yesterday, we were watching [...]
My 8-year-old son, Newt, is back in school and fighting aliens. As in space aliens. It's a big job that he and a couple friends have taken on. And it's a darn good thing because the aliens have secretly landed and are planning to do lord only knows what to the hapless peoples of earth.So [...]
If you've had any doubts about how street-rat crazy Michele Bachmann really is, now there's photographic proof. And photo-shoppy fun to go with it. If you haven't heard, some of Bachmann's supporters are freaking out over the latest Newsweek cover because they think it makes her look a little. . . manic. To be fair, [...]
