here are some photos that i took this weekend for a new blog at work. they will inevitably get swallowed by a tornado of incompetence later today, so i thought i’d share before they vanish never to be blogged again. cheers to the publishing industry, where there is a shortage of jobs but never a shortage of morons.

charming!

“they have been cursed by one thing or another… desperately poor.”

a pact with the devil did that? i was under the impression that their poverty was a result of oppression, devalued resources and inability to flourish in a global economy so clearly designed for developed nations?

huh.

i mean really. is this what christianity is about these days?

i realize that i’m very much late to this game, but i figured, if i’m truly going to attempt to do something for an entire year, i may as well put some thought into it.

maybe these should be a bit, i dunno… deeper, then? but i’m keeping it fairly simply for 2010.

i resolve to:

try a new recipe each week;
read a new book once a month [if i feel the need to re-read, i will need to make additional time for it, as my new-book list is quite extensive];
make more time for making photos;
a vacation. a real, grown-up vacation.

Are the Senate and House abortion compromises unconstitutional?

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:06:09 -0500

Are the Senate and House abortion compromises unconstitutional?:

“I think states should leave the abortion question up to the counties. Then I think counties should leave the abortion question up to municipalities. Then the neighborhoods should leave the abortion question up to each block. And each block, as you might have guessed, should leave the abortion question up to each household.”

sorry for all of the reblogs, but… oh. my. god.

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:08:10 -0500

“

Katie Couric’s notorious Palin interview last year really was a cheap shot. After all, Katie was trying to nail Palin — which is mean! Who among us can’t sympathize with the experience of being sandbagged by some slick professional rival who catches you in a moment of weakness and, instead of lending a helping hand, drives a fireplace poker through your eye?

You’d have to be thinking about the broader picture, about the fact that the president of the United States ought not to be a drooling yahoo whose two favorite Supreme Court cases are Roe v. Wade and Roe v. Wade and who thinks living near Canada counts as foreign policy experience, to not see what an asshole Katie Couric was being. And that other reality, the reality where one worries about a national political candidate having the brains of an innertube, is less immediate than the five-foot airspace radius around the Palin bobblehead. It’s harder for the average person to connect with, I guess.

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:39:17 -0500

“When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. We say that something has become a great burden to us. We either bear the burden or fail and go down with it, we struggle with it, win or lose. And Sabina — what had come over her? Nothing. She had left a man because she felt like leaving him. Had he persecuted her? Had he tried to take revenge on her? No. Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to her lot was not the burden but the unbearable lightness of being.”

a new favorite.

“She is as stringent and wholesale an example of the Christian Right’s despicable doublespeak and hatred that has been poisoning our country for too long as there is in modern American society. She’s an avatar, she’s a monster.”

- just a portion of ex-gawker blogger richard lawson’s epic comment on gawker’s post carrie prejean attempts to storm off larry king is foiled by the siren call of rolling cameras

seriously. this ~~women~~ incompetent, ignorant child is horrible. and her rhetoric is horrifying.
