Why I support black-focused schools
12 Comments Published by Sabotabby January 31st, 2008 in Racism, Edumakashun, Shame on you for not being rich white and privileged, book larnin'A few people have asked for my thoughts on the TDSB’s decision in favour of black-focused schools. Sonjaa and Troubleinchina both wrote good posts on the subject, and I recommend reading those too.
I’ll preface this by saying that this is a divisive issue in Toronto, particularly within the black community and the activist community. It’s […]
McCain surge devastates Britney/America
1 Comment Published by punkass marc January 31st, 2008 in Celebrity, McCaineryLongtime PABers (well, longtime in el blogosphero) might remember the startling connections we discovered between the fates of Britney Spears and America itself. It was proven without a doubt that, like it or not, Britney Spears is the living embodiment of the United States.
I’ve stayed away from expounding on this theory because […]
Had to do it.
Another day, another gaggle of people pretending our preznit isn’t Satan Incarnate
2 Comments Published by punkass marc January 29th, 2008 in Circle JerkingWhen it comes to Republican presidents, AP hacks sure know how to apply the spin:
A lame duck president called again for immigration reform, an end to lawmakers’ pet projects, control of Social Security spending and making tax cuts permanent. Democrats have rejected those Bush initiatives before.
Poor Bush! If only he wasn’t a lame duck […]
One step closer to a corporatist dystopian future
13 Comments Published by Sabotabby January 28th, 2008 in Edumakashun, Meat!, Work, Shame on you for not being rich white and privileged, A million ways to mortgage the future, Corporate Idiocy, book larnin'…where you can get a high school diploma by working in McDonald’s
Do I need to point out everything that’s wrong with this? Corporate sponsorship of public education is a vicious cycle. First, the government cuts funding to schools. Next, a corporation approaches the desperately underfunded school to bail it out—Nike will build you a new […]
Chris Jones lets Miss Manners know that if she needs an enforcer, he’s there.
7 Comments Published by Kyso Kisaen January 27th, 2008 in Cock!, WankersChris Jones of Esquire.com says people are boorish, rude and confrontational, a problem he could help solve if only it were still OK to punch people.
This whole thing started — or maybe it ended — with these guys engaging in some ritualistic, Hare Krishna clapping shit…I asked them politely to stop. “Make us,” […]
Won’t somebody think of the phone companies?!
2 Comments Published by punkass marc January 26th, 2008 in Governmental Failures, Filtered Propaganda, A million ways to mortgage the futureHooray! The extremely popular White House wielded its unstoppable positive momentum again this week:
A White House plan to broaden the National Security Agency’s wiretapping powers won a key procedural victory in the Senate on Thursday, as backers defeated a more restrictive plan by Senate Democrats that would have imposed more court oversight on government […]
A guy with no legs travels the world and photographs people staring at him.
Really, go look.
Abstinence advocates are sooooo cute when they’re young.
19 Comments Published by Kyso Kisaen January 23rd, 2008 in Contraception, Edumakashun, WankersAn Alaskan High School senior has it all figured out:
Abstinence is the only method that should be taught in schools. It is perfectly effective, protective and simple.
By teaching students anything but the most effective means of preventing pregnancy, we are doing them a disservice.
He’s really changed my views; before this, I had no idea that […]
Premise: There aren’t that many women in math and science. Conclusion: feminism has gone too far. Obviously.
15 Comments Published by Kyso Kisaen January 21st, 2008 in Feminism, Media hackery, HUH!?, Wankers, Douchebag on FeminismJessica at Feministing finds another example of my favorite genre: Douchebag On Feminism. In this chapter in our infinite series, feminism has gone too far (dum dum dummmmmmm!)
I happen to speak fluent Douche, so let me translate for you. Blockquotes are Douchy McIssues, italics are translation, regular text is commentary.
So, in this wonderful […]
American consumers partially compensated by DeBeers, Africans still shafted.
1 Comment Published by Kyso Kisaen January 21st, 2008 in Big BusinessIf you were a lawyer representing consumers in a class action lawsuit alleging that DeBeers has, for decades, kept the price of diamonds artificially high, how hard would it be to keep yourself from coming to court with no argument prepared except an index card that reads, “come on, people, fucking duh!”
Anyway, if you were […]
Let’s just save time: I’m Kyso Kisaen, my SSN is 123-45-678 and I bank at Sky, online banking password: snoodles.
1 Comment Published by Kyso Kisaen January 20th, 2008 in Punkass!, Governmental Failures, TechnologyEveryone who is queasy about RealID will find this post to be helpful when explaining to people why:
The story of Fidencio Estrada, a drug runner who bribed Florida Customs agent Rafael Pacheco to (among other things) access multiple federal law enforcement databases on his behalf, suggests that when it comes to the government collecting data […]
