The money quote:

She had to balance on her walker as she pulled out a snub-nosed .38-caliber handgun.

I had one of these. There is something about a cool 65 degrees and a blue sky that just really is addictive.

This post gives a great solution to the problem of gun violence.

I don’t usually take time to wish my friends happy birthday on my blog. However, Mettina is such an important person in my life that I would be remiss if I didn’t wish him a happy birthday. Mettina is my good friend from Norway. I met him while doing research at Stanford. He is super funny and totally into facial hair. He absolutely favorite thing in the world is catching a late dinner with a good friend and just talking about anything.

Happy Birthday Mettina!

If he keeps this kind of rhetoric going it will be hard for me to say no.

Mr McCain responded to a question about how the US should tackle Iran’s nuclear programme by repeating a parody of the 1960s surf-rock classic, “Barbara Ann”.

Thats all the nuance I need.

LOL….This…..LOL…..is…LOL…to…LOL…..funny. Someone should let the Rhode Island University Student Senate know that this America. Apparently they never got the memo.

Nothing boils my blood more than when rich powerful coroporations uses their massive amount of wealth, via lobbyists, to influence federal policy. Its just plain wrong.

Diatribe directs me to this obviously lame-o movie. It looks the plot is about how this man becomes progressively more paranoid of a neighbor that he thinks is a possible terrorist. Diatribe asks me ‘do you think they will teach you a lesson’.

Unlikely, in the trailer we see one segment where the wife tells the paranoid husband that by introducing yourself to the guy you won’t have to call him middle eastern guy. Most certainly the script is not teaching us a lesson about stereotyping. Nope the wife simply means that the term ‘middle eastern guy’ is a much to unwieldy to use in conversation and so it would be nice to use his first name which is probably Sam or maybe Tom.

You know what would be cool? If they made this movie part of a Grindhouse. After the first movie in which the Bush adminstration and Fox News scare some poor guy into falsely stereotyping a middle eastern as a terrorist the second movie could be some poor guy guilted into silence by the first movie into not reporting a middle eastern that actually does end up committing a terrorist act. The last scene would be of the terrorist blowing himself up along with the guys wife, two daughters and grandma fighting liver cancer and heart disease and then our protagonist could learn the lesson that effective stereotyping saves lives.

As a side note: how is this not an Aaron Sorkin movie? It looks like two of the main players are taken straight from Aaron stable of actors. Plus Aaron is all about jamming liberal ideology down his audience throat and this movie looks like a fistful of liberal ideology.
