I never thought I'd find myself in this position →
Alright, let me start out by saying that I am by no stretch of the word a Palin supporter. I can’t stand the lady. Everything she says is either a lie or an opinion I am completely opposed to. But, this is a little ridiculous. Mostly I’m talking about the comments under the article, but the article itself had a negative tone to me. Calling her out for sneaking over the border to...

Glenn Beck is a raging lunatic
Because of his rambling incoherence I’m not completely sure I followed this, but I’m pretty sure this is a summary of what I just heard Glenn Beck say while doodling on a whiteboard.
Universal health care would be a bad idea because if we actually gave people care they didn’t have they would want more things they didn’t have. So we’d have to give little Suzy (he then...

Weighing In: Gay Marriage
Weighing In is a new series we’d like to start where we both share our ideas on the same topic. If this works well then expect more of them in the future.

What Really Is The Issue Here?
In light of the recent vote against gay marriage in the state of Maine, many questions have popped into my head. Just six months...

I... I don't even know what to say to this. →
The absurdity, overwhelming hypocrisy, and nauseating ignorance have, for once, left me completely speechless. This article is so utterly and completely wrong that I just want to shout my objections at the author and everyone who believes this shit. But I can’t even pick a fallacy, lie, or bigoted opinion to start disputing. My mind is just a jumble of frustration. Even worse than the...
Just A Thought.
Are you being willfully dense?

One nation, under $$
In an earlier post I said I’d talk more about the health care reform itself. So let’s do that.
Starting with the bill, now a useless mess of compromises and concessions which look like they will change very little and help even less. At most it will put the problem off a little longer, providing a temporary fix rather than a lasting solution.
Why?
I can think of quite a few reasons...

Republicans For Rape dot org →
The lengths these people will go to in order to protect the people/companies/organizations that bankroll their campaigns is hilarious (read:disgusting). I mean isn’t this something we should all be able to agree upon? There’s no abortion issue involved, they’re not asking for people to pay for anything new and special, they just want to punish rapists and those that enable them....

I'm not sure I even want to touch this one →
I can already see the shit-storm this will likely become. When people try to govern by religion (which, let’s be honest, the people who would take this seriously definitely do) and then rewrite their religious texts to say more of what they want them to, nothing good can come of it.

Underlying problems
I feel like this whole heath care reform has brought up a lot of issues. I’m going to try and touch on a few of them now without going too much into the reform itself. That’s going to be a beast to tackle in another post. So on to the slightly more veiled issues.
First, the way the political system of this country has devolved into being almost totally based on the person with the...
Bonjour
Here we go, my first post, an introduction of sorts. I’ve been waiting more than a year to do this, and to think, I even forgot I had wanted to do it, but thankfully my good friend George recently reminded me of the idea I had brought to him a spring or two ago. A lot was going on for me at this time, I was highly interested in my youth subculture class at school, I had broken up with my...
Riot!
I believe it was near the beginning of last spring that Natalie first asked me if I wanted to write something like this with her. At the time the presidential election was looming, we both seemed to be getting pestered by pushy religious folk, and a lot was happening all around the world. The topics we wanted to write about seemed more than plentiful. The original plan was to make Riot! in print...
