Latest asinine behavior by my wife’s ex

So, yesterday, we call the school, tell them to let the kids know they can walk home the two blocks it takes to get to our house. They stay after for tryouts for the school talent show - I’ve swapped in a new phone, and forgotten to turn the ringer on, so they can’t reach […]

What did they blur out?

[Take a look at the photo… this can’t be an artifact, they obviously blurred something out… what? … of course, the photographer and the news editor are attracted by the more colorful side of Pride festivals. You’ll never see the more casually attired among us in a news photo. -Thomas]

“fag stags”

[I just want to know one thing… if bi men can be a “fag stags”, then what are women who like to hang out with bi men called? Gay men that like to hang out with bi men? :) Also, the point about meeting cool women is also true - “fag hags” have known for […]

Patience will be rewarded

[The Republican Party is on the wrong side of the demographic curve here (although the right one for today given current voting patterns) - 70% of people aged 17-29 favor gay marriage… also, women support it overwhelmingly as well. The Greens are going to get a lot of milage out of this, too, I think. […]

Letter to News.Com Journalist Re: article on future of music industry

Re Free vs. fee: Underground still thrives
addressed to John Borland
“the the major record labels are finally being tested in their long-standing
theory that an easy, appropriately priced legal service can compete with
file-trading networks.”
NOT! Any statements on this behalf by the major record labels have been
entirely hypocritical - they have fought the emergence of a model like […]

Time Magazine on Catherine Zeta-Jones - “Show us your tits!” (asinine, crude, clueless, deeply sexist)

I’m tempted to write Time magazine with a feminist analysis of the true sentiments underly their comments regarding Catherine Zeta-Jones smoking during pregnancy, “Do we really want to live in a world where a beautiful actress can’t smoke topless?” (amusingly enough, the fucking back cover of Time this month is a Camel ad featuring a […]

Lynnaea’s Concert

My older daughter, Lynnaea, played in her schools annual spring concert this evening. She played in both the Basic (beginning) and Advanced orchestras. Her music teacher loves her, thinks she’s wonderfully talented (he is a total dear, very exhuberant and passionate, I adore him). I can see that she’s getting better - was watching her […]

“Death row” in Guantanamo Bay, no jury, no appeal.

This is all over Australian newspapers. And there’s a passing reference to these plans in The Telegraph of London, as well. Not a goddamn word in American media (correction, a search in Google News turns up a reference to it, quoting secondary coverage, on Utne Reader online, and, amusingly enough, a posting on a Baltimore […]

Letter to the NY Times

Editors,
Patrick Tyler’s reduction of a horrific over-reaction on the part of
American military personell earlier this year to two separate protests in
Falluja, resulting in the deaths of at least fifteen unarmed civilians and
the wounding of at least seventy others (a potential war crime), to
unspecified “clashes” in a “restive” town, is utterly outrageous.
This article reduces […]

American Media … “lapdogs” for the warmachine.

Here’s the New York Times, describing the context of an attack on American soldiers:

Military officials said two of the attackers were killed and six captured in this restive town some 35 miles west of Baghdad, where 15 Iraqis were killed and dozens were wounded in clashes last month, and two more Iraqis died after they […]

Why “Managed Care” Sucks

If you want to learn more than you’d ever want to know about why our healthcare system is so incredibly fucked up, and so filled with perverse incentives, read this transcript of former Humana medical reviewer (read HMO bureaucrat whose job it is to save the company money by fucking people over) Dr. Peeno’s 1996 […]
