whee! i have been bizee job hunting. i have turned down two gigs — because i can be choosy since i’m still employed and because i could tell from the interview that they’d be a crap place to work. consider for example a company for which oh, gosh, i dunno, practically everybody who uses the […]
an awesome interview with Laura D’Agustin, who also has a new blog, where I found this interview. the rest of it is about the panic that surrounds sex work, border crossing, and the rescue industry:
Most people do not arrive penniless, they arrive with their own or borrowed money, even if the amounts don’t seem large […]
problemchylde’s blog led me to kai’s blog where kai said something that sounded good, until i thought about it. (from http://www.kaichang.net/2008/07/kety-on-cnn.html )
“Democratic Party politicians are unlikely to grow a backbone until their constituents do”
i wasn’t clear on what growing a backbone means, for obama’s constituency?
a backbone means asking mccain questions, as if you really care […]
this just makes me want to give glen ford a big old sunday morning hummer!
i love the ‘donut movement’ metaphor — the progressive circle around the non-progressive center. you could market that one.
But the most important reason that “Progressives for Obama” should have never existed is its utter lack of content. Leftists attempted to […]
man, i was really disgusted when jackson, whose campaign i worked on back in 1988, rolled over and curtailed crits in order to support obama. now i learn, a little late i know, that he’d like to cut off obama’s nuts for talking down to black folks. ha. yay jesse! yay! personally, i’m glad to […]
seriously, in my worst cranky moments, and this is one – because of freakin’ spammer — i pretty much figure that anyone who posts daily or even every other day is generally a person who, if they don’t do techie stuff for a living and.or have a cushy job where they can rip off their […]
the wall st journal lurvs obama’s stance on iraq!
Man of Refinement By JAMES TARANTO Nineteen days ago, we speculated about Barack Obama that he would soon abandon his promise to bring about an American defeat in Iraq:
Could it be that Obama is planning to pivot? That is, what if he goes to Iraq and declares […]
i posted this in a thread at lbo’s discussion list. M liked it, so I’m posting it here in case readers might enjoy:
i’m starting to envision the lanky fellah (obama) on a twister mat, with him contorting himself into all kinds of positions. maybe he’ll get contorted enough to suck his own dick, so everyone […]
so, i checked into blogs and i see all these people having meltdowns because some people are expressing a desire to vote mccain or mckinney or abstain this year.
i don’t quite get the meltdown. isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? i mean, if you are progressive and still buy into this sham called elections, […]
indulge me, all 5 readers! in the past few months, i’ve been described as “intense”. this is a word people have used in the past but it is so vague (to me) that i don’t understand what it means.
what do you guys think?
NOTE: If you're not here, it's not because I don't love you but because I haven't had time to import my blogroll. Be patient!
