Number 9… Number 9… Number 9…
10 Comments Published by Quin October 2nd, 2008 in A million ways to mortgage the future, Liberal Democrats, PoliticsIn a recent thread I’ve been finding very stimulating, Amanda wrote:
I was swept up in Naderite thinking in my wayward youth, and for me, it was an impatience. I just knew there had to be a tool to force Democrats to move to the left in one, swift blow. But then I came [...]
This is very odd. Yesterday I wrote a post here, which still exists, but it’s not showing up on the PunkAssBlog front page. Or at least not on my computer.
Does anyone else see it?
(I will delete this post once we sort out what’s going on here.)
UPDATE: I really don’t understand what’s going on here. I [...]
How much punk would a Punkass ass if a Punkass could ass punk?
13 Comments Published by Quin September 30th, 2008Lisa and I would like to hash it out a bit and try to figure out constructive rules for engaging each other when we disagree. At least between the two of us. It may be relevant for others as well, too, though. I won’t provide a link, but I still vividly remember a great moment of shame in this blog’s history, when for the sake of a minor rhetorical ploy, a recently-deceased pet was virtually sodomized.
So what the hell, we can at least have a go at setting some ground rules for proper snarky manners. It’ll be a snoozer for most people, but for anyone interested, I hereby decree that this thread will be where we try to agree among ourselves just exactly how punkass a PunkAssBlogger ought to be. (Or at least how punkass me and Lisa ought to be.)
It’ll probably just be us two, but outside opinions are welcome.
(I’m off to bed now. When I wake up in the morning I expect there to be dozens of messages telling us exactly how unbearably snottily dismissive we are. Come on, people, don’t let me down!)
Weighing in Verbosely on the First Presidential Debate
32 Comments Published by Quin September 28th, 2008 in Governmental Failures, McCainery, Obamarama, Politics, Remember NovemberWell, I just watched the debates myself. Via YouTube. The easiest YouTube to find was via Fox News’s feed, which was annoying because they so often did closeups or split-screens of the candidates and never did wider shots– so I couldn’t judge for myself if it was true, that McCain was supposedly never able to [...]
I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for 700 billion dollars today
0 Comments Published by Quin September 22nd, 2008 in Economy Blues, Governmental FailuresI’m not really at a moment in my life where I’m able to post properly, alas. Just thought I’d pop in to register a quick nod acknowledging that this Hellbound handbasket we’re all riding in has just picked up some steam, now that the Democrats appear to be joining hands with the Republicans to raid [...]
Intentionally Lethal Diseases plus Hurricanes = Not Good
7 Comments Published by Quin September 14th, 2008 in "Science", Brilliant Ideas, Yummy Yummy Pork!My parents just retired and bought a beach house in Galveston. Their timing was stunning.
Who knows if their house is still there. But, they’re safe in Austin and that’s all that matters as far as they’re concerned. The 140,000 others who ignored evacuation orders and stuck around, on the other hand, faced “certain death”, at [...]
Kicking punkass and taking names
3 Comments Published by Quin September 12th, 2008 in Punkass!, A Punkass Original Production, Reproductive Rights, sharing the awesomeBy the way, if you haven’t watched any of Amanda and Marc’s new series, RH Reality Check, please do so now. They’re really great. I am so proud.
(They’re on YouTube, too, for any who might have trouble with Vimeo.)
Normally, Our Glorious Founder Punkass Marc does his magic behind the camera, but he makes a [...]
Q: How is a bombing raid in the Great War on Terror like an old-school southern lynching?
0 Comments Published by Quin September 11th, 2008 in Imperialism for Dummies, Military bullshitA: The ones doing the killing never seem to care if the intelligence it’s based on is actually true.
Q: Why not?
Brad Hicks: (emphasis mine)
If you studied American history prior to about 2000, even if you studied it at the college level, you were almost certainly taught something wrong, because the truth was one of America’s [...]
It was my first day in England, where I had flown with my brother to join the cast of a play. We were wide-eyed and jetlagged, and all of a sudden these guys in a pub are grabbing my arm and asking if I was American, and that somebody had flown a plane into one [...]
In comments, Elizabeth points out the Sarah Palin is not the only veep pick with a son headed to Iraq. Hey, I did not know that. I actually watched the first few minutes of Biden’s DNC speech, but I missed that part (as I’m assuming he brought it up at SOME point). I turned it [...]
I’m hungry for meaning… anything in the fridge?
2 Comments Published by Quin September 8th, 2008 in Jazz is Dead, Music, PhilosophisiziningDid you know that Punkass Marc used to play bass in a rock band with me? “Who’s Punkass Marc?” most of you are probably thinking. But that’s a tale for another time.
I live in the largest megacity on the planet. World-class art of any kind is there to be had just about any day of [...]
If only Obama had picked Cindy Sheehan…
10 Comments Published by Quin September 5th, 2008 in Punkass!Perhaps unlike most of the rest of you, I am not constantly inundated with election coverage where I am. So Lisa’s recent post was actually the first video I ever saw of Sarah Palin. On a purely presentational level– meaning having nothing to do with the Christian craziness coming from her mouth (which, frankly, is [...]
