Gad, who’d say such a dumb-ass racist thing as that?!
Oops!

Not satisfied with claiming that Obama is communist, Muslim, gay (or at least meterosexual), and has black children, the McCain campaign is now claiming that he’s the fucking Antichrist.

I don’t even know where to begin. For one thing, it’s a completely incoherent ad, though it gets points for invoking Charlton Heston. But beyond that, its [...]

“Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.” -Christopher Morley

(His previous weighing-in can be found here.)

Would people stop insinuating that I don’t care about women just because war is what I get the most worked up about right now? (I’m not just talking about on this blog. For some reason it seems to have become a common refrain lately.)
Being anti-war and being feminist are not mutually exclusive. After all, it’s [...]

We’ve started a little conversation in the back room that I figured I’d take back to the main table.
Where we left things: I asserted that McCain and Obama are both warmongers, it’s just that McCain is honest about it.
QUIN: [Obama] can say he doesn’t want South Korea-style military bases, [that he's for] autonomous Iraqi govt, [...]

Everybody is allowed to change their opinions over time. Even politicians. But many of Obama’s progressive apologists make the claim that we shouldn’t be so bothered by all of the rightward-leaning things Obama says, because he’s REALLY a lefty– he’s just playing the game the way that anyone would have to in order to win. [...]

But maybe I won’t vote for Barack Obama after all.
(eeeeeeeeeeeeek!)
I did genuinely want to.
I still won’t vote for John McCain. I will never, ever of my own volition vote for John McCain. Seriously, you’d have to tie up my children and threaten them at gunpoint to get me to do it. [...]

Coming on the heels of the brouhaha over Obama’s recent remarks about late-term abortion, I found it very interesting that the Planned Parenthood Action Fund just today announced, in a very ringing and go-team-gooo! press release, that they are endorsing Obama’s candidacy. The news outlets and blogs picking it up are also excitedly pointing [...]

On one level, it isn’t really hard to understand, though it does require that one accepts the truism that people tend to believe what they want to believe, rather than genuinely evaluating a given situation into which they have poured a lot of emotional investment from a logical and dispassionate standpoint. It’s not like [...]

If you are not familiar with craps, it is a game played with dice, and the important thing to know about it is that you cannot win at it unless you figure out some way to control how you throw the dice…ie, you cheat. You CANNOT win by playing by the rules. It [...]

“Geronimo,” or “Something people say when they jump out of airplanes.”
It’s funny because I think if I wasn’t actually of Native American ancestry, I’d write more about them–as it stands, though, I suppose I feel like there is much less excuse for my lack of real in-depth knowledge about the history and culture–I’ve always had [...]
