It boggles my mind that, given some of the things that have been going on with Gaza, anyone who publically declares themselves to be less than on their knees blowing Israel is, instead, on their knees blowing Osama. If ANY OTHER COUNTRY (well, aside from the US) did the things that Israel has been doing, they would have sanctions coming out all ( Read more... )

I found through Straight Dope an amazing Rolling Stone article about John McCain. The article is all the more amazing, because Rolling Stone used to be wildly in favor of John McCain. But this article is... the opposite ( Read more... )

I was first angered when she labelled herself as a 'progressive', because she's too much of a fucking coward to try and take the world 'liberal' back from the Republicans who coopted it and ( Read more... )

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that I got an XO (the One Laptop Per Child) laptop for Christmas this year, through their Give One, Get One program.
