So I've been out here a few weeks now. No luck on the job thing, but its coming soon. (I can feel it :) ) So far I've been offered a sierra club thing where I could basically beg for money door to door, 2-10pm. Not exactly something I'd want to do. I've got a few more weeks where I can be picky, aft...

But what I am hoping for is that sooner or later they will be caught in a lie and then we can be treated to a Clintonesque investigation about lying to congress under oath except this time it would be about something that actually matters. There's plenty of chances: * The Senate's top cop investiga...

I think one thing that is perfectly clear out of this whole mess is that Rice has lied multiple times, and now refuses to go under oath to clear up inconsistanies. They're willing to take the political hit from her not testifying under oath, to dodge the bullet from what may come out from her testif...

The war was/is a total diversion from the real issue at hand. Terrorism by Al Quaeda/Osama against the US and our allies and interests. Duh, don't you realize that by attacking Iraq we've created a playground for all the terrorists to congregate so we can sweep them all up at once? Just forget abou...

He was demoted during Bush II. "Perhaps they'll whisper that he's bitter over being demoted? I guess they might try it, but it will be a mighty quiet whisper. After all, they really don't want to remind people that counterterrorism was a cabinet level position under Clinton and was downgraded by Bu...

Talk about flip flopping: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/3/7/213753/1954 # Bush is against campaign finance reform; then he's for it. # Bush is against a Homeland Security Department; then he's for it. # Bush is against a 9/11 commission; then he's for it. # Bush is against an Iraq WMD investiga...

I think we just need to sit ol' Mr. Bushie down and prop open his eyes Clockwork Orange style, and force him to watch Queer as Folk. That'd break his mind good. And then it would show him that gay people are (really cool and funny) people too. (Oh, and that lesbians are hot :P ) [/generalization]

Marriage isn't purely a religous institution, and hasn't been for a while. You can get a judge to marry you, and like it has been said, there are hundreds of state benefits to being married. Ultimately, I think the solution would be to change everything about state marriages into civil unions, and l...

You could give gay and lesbian couples 'registered partnerships' and put them on the same legal footing as a marriage. Just don't call it marriage. Thats what I thought for a long time, but in the last month I've realized that there have been rulings against being "separate but equal" and that ther...

Sorry, I should have made myself more clear when I posted that. That is the exact speech that Bush gave a couple of days ago about his support for the gay marraige ban amendment. All I did was change some wording so instead of the issue being gay marraige, it was interracial marraige. I did this, no...

The Hate Amendment

In recent months . . . some activist judges and local officials have made an aggressive attempt to redefine marriage. In Massachusetts, four judges on the highest court have indicated they will order the issuance of marriage licenses to mixed race couples in May of this year. In San Francisco, city...

Dude, people who played Magic were even looked down on by those of us who played Dungeons and Dragons. I'm pretty sure the LARPers even though card gamers were a lower form of geek. And you KNOW that's low! :) Just kidding (mostly :P ) Don't know anything about Magic though...can't help you out ther...

We went to see Notwist while I was there. They ended up being pretty boring, but the crowd was fun. Especially the part where my friend ends up hitting on the friend of the girl I was sort of eyeing, and completely crashing and burning. It was very amusing. Now I get to figure out what I want to bri...

Moving to Seattle!!

Yay! So I'm making my way out of nothing-to-do Connecticut and finding landing in Seattle. I was just out there for two weeks last month, dropping off a friend who's moved out to room with another friend of ours. I stayed a couple weeks, and decided there was about 100% more opportunity for me out t...
