Susan at my office is the resident queen of Starbucks. There is no one in our office who drinks as much of it as she does. I, with one Mint Mocha Frapuccino every day, am probably the only one close to her, but I’m still not in her league. In the office next door [...] In keeping with the vein of RKB’s point that liberals were solidly behind President Bush after 9/11, I decided to look for an event I remembered that happened about a month after it. Sure enough, I found a link today with a photo. Now, I will caveat this by saying that it’s from the World [...] I understand Boing Boing is a blog just like everyone else, but… Cory Doctorow: The US’s new Supreme Torturer Alberto Gonzales has removed the $8,000 drapes that his predecessor, John Ashcroft, caused to have hung over the bare tit of the statue of the Spirit of Justice in the DoJ’s Great Hall. …I mean, really. Boing [...] “[They] handled 9/11 like it was a debate over a highway bill instead of a matter of people’s lives. People wanted leadership and they didn’t get it from the Democrats.” Wow. Harsh words. That Rove’s a real lying bastard. No wonder the Democrats are offended. var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, twitter, [...] And on that note, it’s time for me to retire. I don’t particularly want to, but it seems I pretty much have to. I’d very much like to explain why here but, unfortunately, I cannot. My friends are welcome to email and I will explain in private. Perhaps some of you can even help. Suffice [...] Barack Obama, the young dynamic African American savior of the Democrat Party… “I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator,” Obama said. “As a law professor and civil rights lawyer and as an African-American, I am fully aware of his limited views on race. Anyone who actually reads the Emancipation Proclamation knows [...] ATLANTA (CNN) – Gasoline prices are back on the rise, reversing a two-month decline, according to a survey released Sunday. The average of price of a gallon of self-serve regular jumped eight cents to $2.21 a gallon — just 7 cents below the all-time high that was set on April 8, the Lundberg Survey found. Publisher Trilby [...] 9-0 Originally uploaded by VincenzoF. By any accounts of people who have been there, Keyspan Park in Brooklyn is the nicest minor league baseball park in the country. That’s not my “They’re the affiliate of the Mets so everything about them is cool” voice talking, it’s an oft-repeated fact. Today was my [...] Ever swear up and down you weren’t something by defining that something? In the past, when the Yanks lost to the Mets I would get pissed. The fan rivalry (as well as the rivarly within my mixed NY baseball team family) made it that way. In the past, if the Sox reached first place with the Yanks [...] The headlines are all over the papers, and you’d have to have your head firmly implanted into your anus to miss them. They’re screaming because people like Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid want Karl Rove to resign. Why? Because he said the following: “But perhaps the most important difference,” he said, is “in [...] The Dip Originally uploaded by VincenzoF. 7 years (and many many pounds) ago today, Beth and I started dating. We’ve grown a lot spiritually and shrunk a lot physically, and through it all we still love each other as much as if not more than we did before. June 25, 1998 was a [...] Reverend Phelps’ Hate Mongering Minions Originally uploaded by VincenzoF. Well, needless to say we didn’t make it in to see Reverend Graham last night. We just couldn’t navigate the sheer mass of people that was there. To put in perspective the estimated 60,000 people who were there last night alone, [...] When I first started dating Beth, I had never been in the Bronx in my life, except for one trip to the Bronx at the ripe old age of 5 to go to the Bronx Zoo (which I now live a five minute walk from). I had always expected it to be a wasteland [...] Hipper than Britney You’re definitely not a hipster, but you’re also not the poster child of the All American Girl or Boy. You probably surround yourself with these “mainstream” types and are a [...] I’m off with the wife to see Billy Graham, although I’m not holding out hope. There’s gonna be 200,000 people there, and that park simply cannot hold that many people, so I have a feeling I’ll be heading home much earlier than planned. If, of course, I get some pics, I will definitely be posting [...] Why I love Factcheck.org: A Premature Attack And then the summary of the article: Summary A pro-Bush group fired the opening salvo – they call it “a warning shot” – in what threatens [...] So the “no flag burning” amendment is all the rage. Bolstered by less than stellar polls, I’m sure, Republicans are pushing the issue to “protect” our flag. Had you told me about this a year ago, I would’ve jumped for joy. Nothing burns me more than someone burning a flag. But [...] Anyone seen David? Originally uploaded by VincenzoF. Playing with my nephew is a heck of a lot of fun. When I saw the potential photo in this pic, I had to go for it. It reminded me of the millions of “cartoon” hide and go seek games you’ve seen since [...] A couple of months ago, I wrote about a photographer who was detained for taking pictures of the BART system in California. RKB also linked a similar story in the comments. I was hoping that things would have cleared themselves up and the authorities would’ve realized that some people just like taking pictures. [...] The United “Church” of “Christ” (note my use of scare quotes) is having issues. A rift is forming and battle lines are being drawn. At issue? Whether Christ was divine and whether or not God exists. You heard that right. Some members of the UCOC (including, according to this article, [...] |
