World Peace Achieved For Approximately 30 Seconds

Anti-War Activists Plan 'Global Orgasm For Peace'.

Dominican Republic On Strike

The thing and the thing that the man said and the PCD and PPL and such have just gone and done it for the last time! Who do they think they are... by the people for the people right. I think. The country is going on strike Thursday and Friday... and I'm going too. I'm in full agreement with the PCD about the thing that President Leonel said about the thing. I'm so mad... I'm not going to work for the rest of the week! I'm just not going to show up. I'm not going to show up for two whole days, enjoy my weekend and then head back to work on Monday. That's it. I've had it with the thing. I can't believe the President thinks it's going to work. Ridiculous. I'm so enraged I'm... I'm.... I'm going to go play paddle ball on the beach with my friends AND I just might have a Caprese pizza for dinner at Lax! Stupid politicians... we'll show them. Who's with me?

For Hamster and Seanboy; The Only Arkansas I Know

A great NPR piece and new(er) Sufjan song about the Natural State.

Dear God

Dear God,

Last weekend I found this in a marcado on the North Coast. There were many of them. Is this a sign telling us to live in the Dominican Republic forever?

Sincerely,
Chelsea

Terms You'll Need To Know As You Muddle Through Mid Term Election Results

Aristocracy - Rule by a small, private and elite segment of society, typified in the U.S. by the rhythmically challenged, white upper class.









Gerrymandering - Drawing the boundaries of election districts in order to favor a party or individual. Seven year old Maria Santorum, an innocent victim of gerrymandering, cries after new district lines ran over her dog Petey.







Ex Post Facto - Criminal law applied retroactively to the disadvantage of the accused. Also the name of Florida Rep. Dave Weldon's cover band, which in his own words "...caught a huge break getting this mid-term election gig. I mean we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but people in this room, ya know, know people."




Platform - Declaration of principles and policy positions of a particular party or candidate. Democratic candidate Tim Mahoney of Florida's 16th District won easily over Rep. Mark Foley after drafting a platform of 'I don't have sex with children.'






more to come.....

Friday Moment of Zen

The boys at 3TC do it again.

WELL worth it. Thank God the Beast will find its ruin. (And by the beast I mean TBN and its broadcast associates.)

Thanks to our friends at 3rd Chair Trombone for the goodness.

Have a great weekend.

Wanna go to Kenya?
