Lies

Despondency

I made the hardest choice of my life today, and I’m still not sure if it was the right one. However, I don’t think there was any way I could have avoided making it. It is easy, with time, to … Continue reading

The Public’s Right to Know

Today, repulsed by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and weary of watching anything on Faux News, I flipped to CNN — the supposed mature, responsible news network of cable’s big three. What was on? Some bickering talking head show with the following … Continue reading

Insanitary

So I walked into the restroom at work today and I saw my co-worker, Keith, standing at the urinal and flushing it. Familiar enough, only it wasn’t the once-and-done deal that most of us do. He was just standing there, … Continue reading

Split ‘Em Up

It seems that more and more schools are turning to single-sex classrooms to increase academic performance and cut down in disciplinary problems: In math, science, social studies and English, students are segregated into all-boy and all-girl groups. Though the latest … Continue reading

Malaise

I’ve been lost in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as of late. Stealing ambulances, starting fights with strangers, spraying crowds of innocent bystanders with bullets…It can all be very cathartic when real life kicks you in the balls. I’m back … Continue reading

Alive

The well hasn’t run dry. However, I’m distracted (and exhausted) after a week of senseless drama. I’ll be back, volatile as ever, soon.

The Second Debate

Best line of the evening was from Howard Dean, a physician: “The president’s prescription for everything is take two tax cuts and call me in the morning.” Candidate benefitting most from Lieberman’s and Kerry’s absence: John Edwards. “We should not … Continue reading

Reloaded

I’m sure everyone and his mother are posting their banal and overlong reaction pieces today, so I’ll keep it simple: 1) I wish the action in the beginning had been story-driven rather than character-driven. Everything seemed somewhat meaningless until The … Continue reading

Retards in Red States #5

In a rare redeeming act, the Supreme Court rejected Kentucky’s attempt to place a huge granite replica of the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the state Capitol. This story hit a nerve because my county practically did the same … Continue reading

Blinded by Bush-Hatred

It seems The New Republic is the only left-leaning magazine whose writers have brains these days. Not only does Jonathan Chait point out the folly of war opposers who point to the lack of WMD as proof that they were … Continue reading

A Sinking Ship

Today comes news of more shocking failures by the Bush administration. It seems we didn’t even protect WMD sites during our invasion of Iraq: Seven nuclear facilities in Iraq have been damaged or effectively destroyed by the looting that began … Continue reading

Numenorean

I have no clue who the Numenorean are, but they sound good to me: To which race of Middle Earth do you belong? Take the test. *UPDATE* I searched the web, and found this description of the Numenoreans: The numenoreans … Continue reading

Dean vs. Kerry

So I watched the democrats’ first debate the other night. Everything that happened pretty much confirmed what I’d already thought about each candidate. I’ll post more about each candidate later. There was one interesting subplot to the evening, though — … Continue reading

I’m sorry…but I just can’t be with someone who’s this confused. I have been through this before. I am not some fucking nurse, who’s here to take care of the misfits! -Claire, Six Feet Under Amen.

The Big If

It’s just a whisper now, but it could grow into a roar. It seems that ever since the first soldiers crossed into Iraqi territory, the ADD-stricken press has been running stories about the fact that no significant quantities of weapons … Continue reading
