Sedentary Sedition

That's an anagram for "inaugural ball". I'm not sure if there's much meaning behind it, and it probably would diminish matters further if I mentioned that "Anal Lug Burial" can be made from the same letters.
It seems it would be pretty apparent to anyone with the slightest sense of priority that Americans should forgo a lavish inaugural in the midst of a misguided war, and settle for a modest celebration instead. That isn't the case at FOX news, where a Republican can spend 50 million of your tax dollars on a party and be considered a Demigod of Tasteful Excess, while a Democrat would be drawn and quartered for suggesting that even a slight portion of that money be allocated to social spending. I read a great quote earlier today: "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist."
Judy Bachrach, an editor from Vanity Fair, was invited to appear as a guest on one of FOX news' maudlin odes to Bush's inauguration. One could only suppose that she was brought on to act as a neutral mouthpiece for pop political culture. Of course, in FOX terms, that involves gushing forth into a testimonial about Our Leader's tenacity in bringing democracy to the poor misguided, tortured third-worldians of every country ending in -stan. Instead, what anchormensch Brigitte Quinn encounters is at variance with the manicured, vain reality of the pro-Bush world: Ms. Bacharach takes liberty with FOX's airwaves, and provides the sanest, most yelp-of-satisfaction inducing commentary on the exorbitancy of Bush's inaugural celebration.
Cracks are appearing everywhere, and the sunlight is beginning to shine on these people, exposing them as the partisan hacks they are. Watch the video and see for yourself. You can even make a game of it: try as hard as you can to sit still through the whole video, no matter how much Brigitte's pompous bloviations offend your sensibilities and drive you to brink of shouting at your computer monitor and throwing the ottoman at your parakeet. It's almost like trying not to curl your toes when someone rakes their fingers against a chalkboard.

Jesusland's Celestial Almanac
One night I decided that, like a typical American, I was all too geographically ignorant, so I set to the task of memorizing every country's location on a map. I had recently heard a statistic about how so few people within my age category can actually locate the countries that we are actively bombing; it woke me up to the fact that, with all of the soapbox blathering I indulge in on the interwebs, I have a very limited understanding of the world around me - a handicap which seems almost unique to the citizens of the U.S. and Mexico. In a matter of two days, I managed to tackle Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America, and Africa - getting 95-100% on the quizzes I took.
I'll provide some links, just in case you're interested in actually knowing where Tajikistan, Andorra and Senegal are located on a map. I suppose the only reason I'm mentioning this is that it took such a small amount of effort, but I already feel like I've filled in a large chunk of my "expected general knowledge" requirements.
ilike2learn.com - Quiz yourself to death. You'll be surprised at how little you know - at least I was.
Geography Olympics - Throngs of people have taken this quiz. It's called the Geography Olympics, and you can actually influence your state/country's score based on how you do on it. There are ten questions, and you'll probably have to know where Timor is located, or that the Holy See is really the Vatican. So far, with the six times I've taken the quiz, I've raised California's score by .012%, and the national score by .001%.
I don't care if it's nerdy, allow me my small victories and I'll be content.
