It’s a rough time to be a bold, undercover conservative documentarian criminal. He’s obviously being targeted for his political activism (or maybe for his felonious activities).

Oh hypocrisy. Always funny.
Miami: preventing homicide since 2010
In Miami this week. How great is sunshine, right?. Feeling less enraged and less weepy by the second. Mmm….sunshine…

It’s like one of his kids thought it would be hilarious to give his beard beaded dreadlocks while he was sleeping, and he was too lazy to take them out. No one should have beard dreadlocks. No one!

We're watching the Hope for Haiti thing
It’s actually quite moving.
Also, I keep wondering, where did they find a sousaphone player?
Ooh!! Fun!!
I just figured out how to do this. Clearly, I am a bit slow (it’s the winter weather! I swear!)

Free Speech
jeffmiller:
I’ve never heard a corporation speak.
I’ve heard employees of a corporation speak. I’ve heard shareholders speak. Officers, sure. Executives, of course. Board members, yes. But every time I’ve heard speech, it’s been people that were speaking.
Now, people often speak through a corporation, that’s true. The newspapers I read are all published by corporations; I’m glad that the...
I love reading comments after news articles.
My husband says it just makes me mad, but every once in awhile, someone surprises me.
In response to:
As many of you know we have the NAACP, No whites, We have the United Negro College Fund, no whites, We have Miss Black America, no whites, We have Quanza, no whites, so now when someone describes the new league for Whites, everyone calls this person a racist!!!! though I feel the result will...

Oh, the poor white people. It’s just so sad. It’s so tragic that they’ve had to play dirty nasty “street ball” with “people of color”. I mean really, they deserve better than to have to lower...

This is what I’d like to hear a congressional Democrat say:

Tuesday's Five Lessons for the Democrats →
notthatkindagay:
Here are the five lessons Democrats should learn from this special election:
1) There Is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch.
2) Calm Down.
3) Compromise Is the New Change.
4) Narrative Counts.
5) The Republicans Aren’t as United as They Appear.
The Democrats must recognize that Tuesday’s election is only Armageddon if they make it so. Now is not the time for recriminations and...

Hard to explain
I’m having a bad day today.
It’s difficult to explain exactly what that means to people who don’t suffer from my particular brand of depression. I’m not sad. I’m just…nothing. I have no thoughts, no focus, no drive, nothing. I can’t concentrate on anything. Even reading is difficult. The words swim together, and even though I’m SEEING them, I...

I don’t personally like it.
Enough olive oil and imported tomatoes control the acid. I buy only peeled or crushed Italian tomatoes. San Marzano are the best, but they are pricey, nonetheless, the regular imported ones are still better. It’s because of the breed of tomato they use. It’s different from the domestic. Domestic canned tomatoes are often...

Why Tumblr Is Kicking Posterous's Ass →
jayparkinsonmd:
How come Posterous is eating dust from a small startup started by a high school dropout?
The answer is as easy as it is counter-intuitive: Tumblr is a New York company and Posterous is a Silicon Valley company.
Or, to put it another way: Posterous is an engineered product, while Tumblr is a designed product.
Also, Posterous is a stupid name.
