This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe: Racism in Dissent?
http://disturbinguniverse.blogspot.com/2009/09/racism-in-dissent.html
This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe. September 15, 2009. It's an easy straw man argument to make for both sides of the political aisle. Democrats and liberals can claim that dissenting arguments are racist because we have a black president; Republicans and conservatives claim that all claims of racism are merely attempts to squelch dissent. Republicans love to martyr themselves. "Obama wants to crush dissenting voices! Is every conservative opinion racist? Yelled insults at them during a joint session o...

This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe: No No No No No No No. No.

This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe. September 29, 2009. No No No No No No No. No. This Roman Polanski shit has got to stop. His ass needs to get sentenced to some serious time- five or more years at least. And I only say five because the old bastard is 76 and that's like, 15 years to you or me. Well, not you Grandma. FLED THE COUNTRY, ya'll. So let's look at the facts thus far, shall we? FLEE THE COUNTRY like some spoiled Hollywood douchebag. 3 The victim is old as hell now, and basically says we shoul...

This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe: October 2009
http://disturbinguniverse.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe. October 13, 2009. Because I'm Not "Connected" Enough, I Guess. With the big trip coming up, I thought I'd try to document things using the slick and simple Tumblr interface. This blog isn't going anywhere (yet- I will probably end it and start anew when I've moved to DC) but for move-related info, pics, and so forth, you'll want to visit:. I'm new to Tumblr but I think it's pretty great for random stuff, or very specific blogs. I hope mine is a mix of the two. Lunche...

This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe. January 29, 2009. And This is Why Republicans Are Still Wrong. Yesterday, I extended a wee tiny olive branch towards the GOP because I believe, at first glance, that I am in agreement with them over this whole digital television roll-out thing. Today, I'd like to correct that injustice by noting just how asinine the Republican Party remains. Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Act into law today. You know what else leads to skyrocketing litigation? WHEN PEOPLE DISCRIMIN...

This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe: August 2009
http://disturbinguniverse.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe. August 20, 2009. And Now For a Different Point-of-View. Even amongst you like-minded readers, I may get some heat for this one. No worries. One of the big stories today is that the man convicted of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 was released to return home to Libya. He has terminal cancer of some kind, and it was uniformly agreed he would not live beyond 3 months. I disagree. I think it's fine. In fact, it only adds more vitriol and poison into the world. Had h...

This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe: June 2009
http://disturbinguniverse.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe. June 23, 2009. I will spare you all my pithy reviews of recent movies. I've seen a bunch, including Benjamin Button, The Promotion, The Proposal, Drag Me To Hell, The Brave One, and (shudder) Semi-Pro. By the way, that was in order of my enjoyment. Transformers back then, man. I will not see G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra unless terrorists call and tell me that my family is strapped to a bomb that will go off if I don't provide a ticket stub from the movie. June 11, 2009.

This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe: July 2009
http://disturbinguniverse.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe. July 29, 2009. That whole Gates dust-up. Is still going a bit, with Obama speaking at length on the subject during his press conference last week. And now the three of them (the President, Gates, and the police officer) are having beers or something. Which is a surprisingly pragmatic way to resolve things. When the general public hasn't done anything wrong. As was the case with Gates, and as was the case with this guy in Mobile, Alabama. Who is tasered and pepper-spr...

This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe: But Your Home is Your Home
http://disturbinguniverse.blogspot.com/2009/07/but-your-home-is-your-home.html
This is Indeed a Disturbing Universe. July 22, 2009. But Your Home is Your Home. 3 posts in as many days! Don't fret, I'll disappear again soon I'm sure.). See, Obama agrees with me. But man, he went on at length. Somebody is going to take issue (wrongly) with the "police acted stupidly" portion. Even though it was the police "acted stupidly in arresting him after they had discovered no crime taking place." Which is 100% truth. Though most of the story is reaction now. The problems arose when the police ...
