Brace yourself. In coming weeks you’ll hear there’s no serious alternative to cutting Social Security and Medicare, raising taxes on middle class, and decimating what’s left of the federal government’s discretionary spending on everything from education and job training to highways and basic…

The Appropriate Time to Question.

Fri, 25 Jan 2013 05:11:52 -0500

Implying that imperialism shouldn’t be question is perhaps the most hurtful thing that could be said. Incredibly unexpected from who it came from. And such a statement brings back horrid implications about my discontentment with the War in Iraq in particular and the “War on Terror” generally.

The time to question is yesterday, today and tomorrow. Always and Forever. One does not obtain a better existence by not asking questions.

“As with guns, some auto deaths are caused by people who break laws or behave irresponsibly. But we don’t shrug and say, “Cars don’t kill people, drunks do.” Instead, we have required seat belts, air bags, child seats and crash safety standards. We have introduced limited licenses for young drivers and tried to curb the use of mobile phones while driving. All this has reduced America’s traffic fatality rate per mile driven by nearly 90 percent since the 1950s. Some of you are alive today because of those auto safety regulations. And if we don’t treat guns in the same serious way, some of you and some of your children will die because of our failure.”

“Only I rule my vagina”

Sent to me by my friend Jen. She spotted it while walking in a north Austin neighborhood. She said, “I just thought it was so funny to walk by it (on a route frequented by walkers, dog walkers, and joggers). This is more of a soccer mom neighborhood than, say, South Austin.”
