OWS: I’m part of the 1% but I stand with the 99%. This country needs action at a grassroots level to take power out of the hands of self serving politicians. Either that or I’m taking “Boss” on Starz too seriously :D

I have no issue with this is if it means Ticketmaster lowers their ticket surcharges (maybe Walmart will subsidize it to bring customers into the store?).

woman who claimed me stealing a parking spot at ralph’s was the “rudest thing she’s ever seen” -
YOU LIVE IN FUCKING LOS ANGELES. IT’S 5PM IN A RIDICULOUSLY CROWDED PARKING LOT AND IF SOME DUMB FUCK STALLS INSTEAD OF TAKES A SPOT I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TAKE IT. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU FIGHTING BATTLES FOR SOME OTHER GUY ANYWAY? Also … if THAT’S the rudest...

I watch HLN’s Nancy Grace on a daily basis. It’s like watching a cross between a car-wreck and a bad MAD TV sketch. Today, as her viewers watched what was the “verdict countdown” turn into what is now the “sentencing countdown”, she highlighted a statement allegedly made by one of the jurors. The juror stated the following according to ABC News …

Match.com will screen users against sex offender... →
Screening for sex offenders on Match.com isn’t the answer to this problem. The internet is this infinite source of information. If someone is really concerned, there are tons of sites that can be used to do research on an individual before meeting him/her. There are inherent risks involved in any activity with _anyone_ you don’t know … whether it’s buying something from...

hmmm ... haven't blogged in a while
Let’s see … what’s been up the past few weeks?
I haven’t given enough of a shit to read into the “don’t touch my junk” stories. I have no issue taking my shoes off, taking my laptop out of its case and getting scanned. I’ve been singled out once or twice (far less than I expected considering I’m brown) and gotten a pat down and that...

Hmmm … I think the montage of VERY SPECIFIC CLIPS from media outlets that over-hype the news indicates he doesn’t think EVERYONE adopts this philosophy. Looks like someone’s calling out another journalist just to get some press.

I’m a Democrat. I could write for days on all of my beliefs that make me a Democrat. Way back when I used to vote Republican. I made excuses for why I voted against my beliefs, and one day I realized I couldn’t say “I don’t believe in this or this or…

It's not the end of the world ...
So Republicans got control of the House? It’s really not the end of the world. This country has thrived during periods of time when different parties controlled the House/Senate and Executive branch. What _is_ of concern is the fact that insane uber-libertarian/social conservatives like Rand Paul won a senate seat. Thankfully, I can still have faith in this country after seeing the grossly...

jtotheizzoe:
Disturbing highlights:
“• Only 18 percent know a scientist personally. For most, the first thing that probably comes to mind when they think “scientist” is a Hollywood stereotype—or the local TV weatherman.
• 44 percent cannot even name a scientific role model. And among those that do give a name, their top three choices—Bill Gates, Al Gore, and Albert Einstein—are either not...
“NPR, you just brought a toteful of David Sedaris books to a knife fight.”

Now that the Tea Party seems to have found its way into about a dozen or so congressional and gubernatorial races, I’ve relented and tried to understand where they’re coming from. I never took them seriously because of all the footage of misspelled words on posters, not understanding the term ‘czar’ and hateful slogans from their rallies in 2009.
I think the movement has...

Rolling Stone - BP's Shock Waves →
Someone needs to tell this writer that describing the financial world’s reaction to Obama promising to make BP pay $20 billion as “Wall Street’s collective asshole slamming shut in terror” makes him sound stupid. If I had been reading an article about some celebrity or band - it would be fine to describe something like that. This guy’s attempt to make the BP oil spill...

Justifying giving a 19 year old $100K to drop out of college is probably easy for a guy with a graduate degree from Stanford.

wall street money never sleeps →
This movie was WAY too long. Shia LeBeof’s character wasn’t nearly as good as Charlie Sheen’s Bud Fox. He had a super expensive looking NYC apartment right from the beginning of the movie. It’s kind of hard to want to sympathize with a 20 year old rich kid. There was a completely unnecessary motorcycle race in it and too many plot lines (not that it was hard to keep track...

“The Event” is pretty decent. Although, I still can’t admit to watching it without feeling a bit stupid. “Law & Order: Los Angeles” is okay. I love procedural crime shows (they remind me of how on Scooby Doo you’d always know who the bad guy was from the way he was drawn). “SVU” is still the best “Law & Order” show, followed by...

Mad Men Episode 13 - Tomorrowland
I think everyone is going as crazy over this one as I am. First of all, I guess the writers want to REALLY emphasize the impulsiveness of Don Draper’s proposal because Megan’s character has had like 10 minutes of screen time this season. I realize that she’s educated, speaks more than one language and is WAY more patient than Betty Draper could ever try to be. But, is this reason...

Obama administration does not support U.S.... →
I see the logic behind the Obama administration’s position on the foreclosure moratorium, but I think there are some issues with it. Halting the foreclosures will stall progress in the recovery of the real estate market, but it will also (hopefully) focus some energy on the due diligence that foreclosure paperwork deserves. I think the Obama administration wants this perfect world where...
