Slouching Toward Bethlehem

Much hay in the liberalosphere has been made in the last few days over Barack Obama’s apparent willingness to forward the Bush administration’s “faith-based” charity program. There are distinct tones of outrage and betrayal, and while I most certainly agree that the Fed putting money into any religious charity is a recipe for disaster (this […]

Hmm. Okay, in Friday’s Bleat, James Lileks comments (screedifies?) on a few memes floating around that rub him the wrong way. He begins thus:

As I said on the Hewitt show tonight, I feel as if Bizarro World is slowly leaking into ours, and one day we will see Superman and note he has that ugly […]

Another Sham Trial to Begin

Remember 2003? Remember when Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured?
He’s the guy who apparently masterminded the hijack-crash attacks that took place on you-know-what date in 2001. He’s due to go on trial (with others) at Guantanamo soon.
Well, actually, it’s not going to be a trial — it’s going to be a tribunal. And that’s only one […]

A Cavalcade of the Clueless

One of the problems about the claim of the US being “the lone superpower” is that the claim is patently false. While it’s true we’ve got a hell of a lot of nukes, what we don’t have is an infrastructure to speak of (focusing our entire economy on service and nonskilled labor for the last […]

Hey Vegas…

…what’s happening there is most certainly not staying there any more.

This is a doppler image from this morning, showing the fug of smog and shit spewing out of Sin City. My own locale is completely occulted by the crap. The brown shit in my skies is the result of the filth oozing out of Las […]

A Pair of Dishgloves

As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’m working toward licensure to fost/adopt parent — I want to be a dad. Things seem to be going well with the new agency. During the homestudy interview my contact kept looking though the paperwork for anything amiss, at me to see if I was furtively hiding dismembered body parts or […]

Traffic Woes and Light Derailments

A Drama in Two Acts
Act the First: Two PERSONS and a GODBOY in an elevator.
Person 1: The other day I was stuck in traffic for nearly two hours. Sheesh!
Person 2: Yeah, it’s a real nightmare since the construction began.
GodBoy: When I’m stuck in traffic I like to pray to Jesus!
Person 1: I wonder if the […]

The Value of Hopelessness

In the last few months my meditation practice has deepened considerably. In November, during a day-long at-home retreat I decided to stop pining for a practice group here in this little town I live in, and actually inaugurate one. The result, Sangha, has had mixed attendance. Some Sundays I have one or two people. Some […]

George’s Bloody Hands, International Edition

Part of the ongoing tragedy of the stupidity of Iraq is the killing of uncounted tens — or hundreds — of thousands of innocent civilians by (let’s face it) US troops. Without going onto the ethics of action under combat, the fact is indisputable that, had we not invaded in the first place, those people […]

Losing the Left Wing

Last year I wrote that I wouldn’t say anything more about Obama unless I had to.
Yeah, well.
The Dem primaries are really bringing out a stack of ugly, aren’t they? Apart from the locker-room thinking that goes toward disparaging Edwards or Kucinich, we’ve got the usual gang of inbreds and their comments on Clinton and Obama. […]

Stranger than we Can Imagine

Sir Arthur Eddington said this of our cosmos: “Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine; it is stranger than we can imagine.” I was reminded today of that fact by an image I’d forgotten.
In an effort to reduce the bareness of the walls in Yoshi’s bedroom (as well as in an effort to […]

Thaer

To the market, I say to you, only to the market.
There we will buy only the things we need, and then we will return home.
And, knowing your eyes, I know the lie in my remonstrance;
for I have never been able to resist you
in your puppy looks as you plead silently after sweets
and caress with quiet […]

Hymenoplasty is a procedure used to surgically re-create the hymen in a woman’s vagina. Muslim women in Europe are undertaking the procedure in order to circumvent their religion’s idiocy regarding virginity.

While I’ll agree that it’s no one’s business whether a woman is a virgin or not, if there’s a surgery which can be used to shoot even a small hole in small-minded bronze-age hocus-pocus, I’m all for it.

Apparently someone rustled up enough cash to take out a hit on Kevin Federline. It’s amazing what the pennies that fall between the couch cushions can accomplish, isn’t it?

It’s pretty. But it’s not my Mira.
