Read a Book, THEN Open Your Mouth

Lately I’ve been hearing a lot of blabbering about issues that people don’t understand whatsoever. This article from Newsweek, for example, lists so many facts that the world knows to be true—evolution, for example, or the falsehood of the “death panels” that Sarah Palin pretty much invented along with whatever else she cackles forth now and then—that Americans seem to simply not believe in/believe in. It’s terrifying to me, for example, that about 1 in 5 Americans think that the sun revolves around the Earth.

4-ish Reasons to Like James Cameron

With all of the sexism surrounding his film Avatar (among many other issues with it—including his own interview stating that, though the creatures weren’t mammals, the heroine “had to have tits”), I’ve begun to question just how much I like James Cameron. I always thought he was pretty visionary, using unique ideas and female heroines…but wait—his ideas really aren’t so unique, and his heroines are sometimes pretty stereotyped. That said, like most people, he has his redeeming qualities. I tried to come up with ten, and then just five, but sadly, I could only think of four. Here they are.

Money- The Bane of My Existence

By Anonymous on 8/26/10 11:06pm

Money.

The root of all evil. The bane of my existence. What to do? If I stay here, work, and go to school, then I am poor. Poverty-stricken in a city minutes away from the likes of Bill Gates whose toothbrush probably costs more than my car. But if I succuumb to the temptation to travel, to leave the city, or pursue a different life then I am stuck at the end even broker than I was before, regretting my decisions, and unsure of what has happened.

Dirty Laundry on Facebook

I’ve had many complaints about the social network giant Facebook lately, I know. I don’t know if I’m just sick of it—or if what it has slowly become has made me sick. (I did get sick from the heat over the weekend, but I’m pretty sure that has nothing to do with Facebook.) There are a lot of hate groups, a lot of whiny people, and a lot of negative comments on the site that I would much rather stay away from, thank you very much.

What do you do when life dishes you a crap sandwich?

If I believed in biblical things, I would say that this is the time of Job in my life, but on a much-smaller scale. Maybe I am operating under the principle of Murphy’s Law, which states that, “Everything that can go wrong will go wrong.” I’ve decided to take a cautiously optimistic approach to life and my spell of minor troubles and believe that if the universe is indeed dishing me a few too many sides of bad luck, I’m going to take it as a semi-positive sign and believe that at least I am somewhat important- being totally ignored by the Fates would be worse, wouldn’t it?

I Don't Need any Frenemies!

I have a lot of bile to spew out lately, but I’ll to restrain myself at least somewhat.  I’m going to focus on  a big pet peeve in my life. I’m pretty disgusted with people who seem to want to be my friend for whatever reason and truthfully don’t even like me.

Life is short- why befriend people you don’t like? I’m not saying that these people have to declare me their sworn enemy because it wouldn’t be worth the effort. Some people click and some people don’t.

Leo Gallagher is a Bigot (Among Other Things)

I never was a fan of the comedian Gallagher. Maybe it’s the complete waste of food; maybe it’s just that he really wasn’t that funny. I used to get highly offended when my father, who didn’t know one comedian from the next, inquired if this man was whom I was referring to when I spoke of George Carlin. “Um, no, Dad!” I would exclaim, exasperated. Carlin was my favorite comedic genius; Gallagher was more akin to Carrot Top and Paul Reuben—a novelty for some, a minor annoyance for others.

BP: A wicked business

It is a wicked business to try to suffocate the truth. A most wicked business is when a private concern gets the assistance of government to put a choke hold on truth seekers. BP continues to try to hide, with the government's assistance, the extent of its damaged to the Gulf's ecosystem. and it has done dirty rotten thing elsewhere too. In Texas, at its oil BP refinery in Texas City, where an explosion allegedly caused by the negligence of BP management took the lives of fifteen people.

The Huffington Post reports that this past weekend, at the behest of a BP security official. a photographer from ProPublica was locked up behind bars for taking photos of a BP refinery.

What day is this? Another day when BP's gushing, busted oil well is polluting the waters, shorelines and beaches of America.

In the news this morning the shocking report that BP has not been candid with regulators! Shocking! Shocking! Shocking! Shocking to whom? Federal regulators, the gullible.

GOP Partying On

Senate Republicans have gone home to party for the 4th of July. They've taken a whole week off from work. One of the last things they did was to filibuster the unemployment benefits extension; bill, which passed the House by a wide margin. The GOP Senators are leaving 1.3 million Americans hanging, the number may be 1.7 million by the end of the week. What does the GOP care, if those long term unemployed Americans go without? The GOP senators will have their backyard barbecues.

Press reports say the Democrats have called Republicans on their callousness: "I challenge you to look people in the eye and tell them that you voted no," said Representative John Lewis (D-GA). "Tell them as they swallow their pride that you don't care."
