Relaunch with movie reviews
For the re-launch of this thing, I have decided to reserve my LiveJournal for minor day-to-day ramblings and use my Blogspot for more political rants, with the occasional cross-post.
On occasion, I’ll put up my review of movies I’ve seen, just for the hell of it. So here are my first two, A History of Violence and Sin City.
A History of Violence ( ( Read more... ) -
Elect This Woman To A Higher Office
Yep, another rant (ya knew the lull couldn't last).
But this time, I'm going to let another's words speak for me, because this person sums it up far better than I ever could.
This is from Molly Ivins' recent column on AlterNet and are the comments of Senfronia Thompson, a black represenative from Houston.
Rarely are the words of one ( Read more... ) -

No rant this time, just a hysterical story that I found on AmericaBlog.
Suspicious Package...
The most hyterical thing was the comments from the AmericaBlog readers.
Hope someone had a hell of a Father's Day.

Bush Chewing On Shoe Leather Again
In the next chapter of "Hypocrites R Us", the biggest of them all seems not to care if we realize how big a hypocrite he is.
Fearless Leader Bush has said he will veto a bill that would loosen restrictions on federal funding of stem cell research. His stand against this is long-standing and not really news. What shows him to be a lying ( Read more... ) -
Conservatives Becoming Hypocrites Thanks To The Religious Right
I can forgive many things (stealing some food because you're out of work and hungry, drinking a bit too much because you've had a bad day, voting for Bush because you did some bad crack on Election Day), but the one thing I can not stand is hypocrisy. And the right-wing conservative wingnuts have shown just how big a bunch of hypocrites they ( Read more... ) -
"Fan" Doesn't Always Mean "Fanatic"
Have a more personal rant this time around.
Unless you have been living in a cave for the last few months or years, you have to know that the final installment of George Lucas' Star Wars saga, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is coming out next week. Accompanying this are the usual reports of people waiting in line for weeks to be the first ( Read more... ) -
Notice The Quiet Lately?
Is it me or has the religious right gotten kinda quiet lately?
Maybe I'm not that good at looking for this stuff, but it seems like the religious right has virtually disappeared from the radar after the vulgar display of "Justice Sunday." The GOP is still threatening to use the "nuclear option" to get Fearless Leader Bush's nominees to the ( Read more... ) -
The truth shall set you...up
To get the background on this one, you have to read the related info.

According to the information, the writer of the article, freshman Morgan Filan, researched the facts that she based her article on. The article was reviewed by three separate people, including her journalism teacher. All of them ( Read more... ) -
It's For the Children? Riiiiiiight!
See Dick run, see Dick jump.
See the cable industry duck and cover.
The latest attempt by the "pro-family" right to "protect" us is trying to hold cable (basic and pay) broadcasters to the same standards as the regular channels.
Thank you, Janet Jackson.

Whose Right's Are Right?
Got a question for you; if you are at your job and refuse to perform the duties that are part of your job description, should you be fired?
Simple, right? Of course you should.
Now let's complicate it a bit.
You are, let's say, a pharmacist that refuses to fill a prescription for the morning-after pill or simple birth control pills.
