(Sorry blogger link didn't work!)

I love it when someone write a well-researched article better than I can ever hope to!

This should add much perspective to the immigrations versus environment discussion.

Knowing what this article predicts should make us all reconsider plans for the future.

Hey DeeK

Happy Happy Birthday! Does this mean you are officially a dirty old man?

Define Terrorism

Go read Mr. B's post at BitchPhD on the annual terror report. Then tell me that this isn't 1984.

A Little Bit o' Schadenfreude

Via Shakespeare's Sister (via someone else and someone else- this is a bit like playing telephone in kindergarten)

Rush Limbagh has been arrested on drug charges. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Just to remind y'all what the asswipe has said about drug use in the past- here's some quotes (bolds are so obviously mine):

We're going to let you destroy your life. We're going to make it easy and then
all of us who accept the responsibilities of life and don't destroy our lives on drugs, we'll pay for whatever messes you get into."-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec.
9, 1993

"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say people are going to do drugs anyway let's legalize it. It's a dumb idea.
It's a rotten idea and those who are for it are purely 100 percent selfish."--
Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

"If (Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders) wants to legalize drugs, send the people
who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let's be rid of them. -- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It
destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is
destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs,
using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so
if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and
they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."-- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995

I say we play caption this picture:

If those dittoheads knew I've been spending all their money on hillbilly heroin they might run out and buy Al Franken's Book!

testing

I think I just added haloscan for comments. We'll see how it works.

Hey Deek

Or anyone who has the ability to write CSS and the obsession to do so.

Is there a way we could start categorizing posts so it is easier to find in the archives?

We could have sections like:
Fursday funnies
Healthcare
Iraq
Iran
Reproductive Rights
News
Etc.

I will bestow the power of the EDIT to anyone who can do it. Ohhhhh, ahhhhhhhh, editing powers. Now you too will be able to fix font problems and insert your own links into posts.

Red Queen's Hot Brains List

Ok kids- I'm working on Superjumbo 2: Arguments against universal healthcare (and why they are a load of crap)

In the mean time here are some hot brains to drool over:

What's there not to love about Greg Palast? He's old school investigative reporter with a background in economics. He broke the news about purging the black voters in Florida during the 2000 election. He makes me remember that journalists can actually still be investigators instead of overpaid press-release readers.

George Monbiot is just hot and brilliant. I loved Manifesto for a New World Order.

Joe Conason: writes for Salon. He's straight forward and with none of the milquetoast qualities that dems are known for (I wish I could say wrongly known for, but they seem to have forgotten how to bite)

As for third wave feminism, I love Jill from Feministe. She's as girly girl as I am (with a love of Bumble and Bumble) but still kicks misogyny in the ass on a regular basis.

I first discovered Samantha Power while watching her talk about Sudan on the Charlie Rose show. She was talking about how all the agencies were saying they were having trouble getting access to the country to prove that there was a genocide going on. While all these people were hemming and hawing- she simply walked over the border from Chad and took some of the first photographs documenting the tragedy to get published in the western press.
