After Anti-Gay Insults, It May Be Felony To Protest Funerals
Oooookay. Does anyone else find this sick? I’m all about your right to protest, but common decency shoud rule in cases like this. I find this kind of idiotic behavior (see: extremism) gives all good Christians a bad name. Remember, I am way against organized religion, [...]

- Feds Downplay Threat To New York’s Transit System
Distraction, anyone? Don’t think about rising fuel costs, the inability of our government to accept blame for their fuck ups, the indictment of Bush’s buddies or the fact that he’s trying to appoint someone who’s never sat on a bench to the Supreme Court. Nope. Don’t pay [...]

No one can say they didn’t see it coming”
D pointed out this article to me. Seems that our fearless leader once again has his priorities all fucked up. But, perhaps he will have learned his lesson. The money spent on the “war” needs to be rechanneled back into this country, specifically the South.
It just [...]

As London Burns

In: Politics

In Spring, I hoped to travel to London. I wanted to see why people become so bewitched by that city. I remember a girl (and I do mean girl) in my public speaking class gave a speech about the trains that snaked beneath the streets, in an almost magical way. Those same trains burned today, [...]

Bloody hell!
I realize that their job is to interpret the law…. sometimes I wish they would just add a little humanistic aspect to their rulings….

Not the same old thing

Billy Manes for mayor?
The same old thing hasn’t worked. He’s one of us, albeit a touch snottier. This would piss off all the stiff-shirts in City Hall, and that’s just enough for me to want to vote for him! Sometimes taking a risk gives you the bigger, more satisfying payoff…..

Isn’t this nice?
Slight breach of ethics, methinks!

Remember…this is war

In: Politics

I have not forgotten the rotten taste that flooded my mouth when I heard the television announce a “War.” The justifications still ring hollow. But death becomes repetative, almost routine. Occasionally they announce the updated casualty numbers….but only for our soldiers. No one cares about the civilians.
That is not the child’s blood. She rode [...]
