I was thinking of writing a diary on how Democratic candidates should be out in force asking their constituents to vote via the absentee ballot method - thus producing a paper trail. I decided to do some research, to find out first whether or not this was already happening.

Lookie what I found: Read More

This afternoon, while waiting in line at the post office, I became a stupid moron. I have no excuse. I simply clammed up. Today, I was Part of the Problem.

I had five packages and was already feeling like an asshole due to the long time it was going to take me at the kiosk. But my packages were nothing compared to what was about to transpire. A little old lady behind me, wearing a neon pink jacket and a red visor over her frizzy, bottle-blond hair took a shining to me, as it were.

We exchanged pleasantries and I was lulled into a kind of small talk stupor. You know how that goes... automatic pilot. Heat, humidity, bargain shopping. She told me that she had moved to my small city from a large, urban center called Brampton. Oh yes, good. Do you like it here? Yes! "Brampton is unliveable anymore." she croaked.
"Oh I hear it's getting very overpopulated." I replied. And I wasn't lying - I had literally just heard that the day before. But that's not what she meant. Read More

4. You have never cut letters out of a newspaper or magazine and glued them into sentences on another sheet of paper.
3. No one has paid you any ransom money - or even REFUSED to pay you ransom money.

War is CERTAINLY not about the moral high ground. It's only about moeny and power.

Wanna know how I know that?

I know that because men can destroy families by either raping, molesting, or beating the people in them and there's no war cry from ANY political party about getting serious enough to stop them. I know that because predators keep getting caught, put in jail for a couple of months, and let out again to reoffend. I know that because, as a person with a calculator, I can see that housing an inmate isn't as profitable as bombing the shit out of a place that has coveted natural resources to exploit. Read More

Just a funny little tid-bit perhaps to brighten your evening.

I just did a search for anti-Bush and anti-repulican on ebay. I got 108 results for Anti-Bush and 0 for anti-Gore. I got 8 results for anti-republican and only 3 for anti-democrat.

I'm thinking of making a Bush bashing t-shirt myself, and was sussing out the market. umm.. here it is:

Try as I might, I cannot divorce God.

I know, I know. That's so unfashionable. Especially around here. We're "progressives" and progressives don't do the faith thing. It's right in the Ten Commandments of Progressiveness, right?

1. Thou shalt never vote Republican.
2. Thou shalt not mix Church and State.
etc...

I know this is risky.. Read More

Why oh why do the police have to act like hard-ons ready to explode at the slightest stroking of their 'terrorism muscle?"

According to this Guardian Story they've shot a guy in the UK for no reason. This is what you get for ramping up racism - fear mongering and itchy trigger fingers on the part of the people with the weapons. Sure, sure, the police have apologized - but it's lame. (Ahem, at least it's better than pretending that it didn't happen à la Haditha but it's an underhanded apology at best. Here's what the Assistant police commissioner Andy Hayman had to say. See if you can spot the idiocy:

This could happen to any one of us, folks, and that's what makes it so chilling.

I'll keep this short and sweet because I don't know a lot about it yet. I also have to do everything possible to conceal identities but I'm going to use the male pronoun for ease of reading.

I've often wondered why the Republicans are so hell bent on keeping homosexuality a 'dirty sin' and gay people subjugated, hated and without any rights.

I used to believe it was in order to woo the bible-thumpers, who we are told are an enormous, wealthy group who love to vote. And that might be true. But recently, I think I've found another reason for their all out war on homosexuals. A reason that would explain why even Republicans who are gay themselves are invested in denigrating lesbians and, in particular, gay men.
