Draw Mohammed Day! (via The Daily Dish)
This issue, from the Danish artist years back up until today makes my blood boil. Yes, I know it images of the prophet are offensive to Islamic people. Guess what- in America you do not have the right to not be offended, sorry.
We have to put up with Neo-Nazis (I hate Illinois Nazis), Klansmen, Fred Phelps and all sorts of idiots and despicable people,...

Frank is a 68 year old man with Parkinson’s Disease. He can’t move or talk. When I hold his arms and legs they feel like cement, fixed at the joint.
He is always making eye contact with me, because he’s in there. He’s in there and he…

Dear Colts,
I’m disappointed. Sure the perfect season doesn’t matter, but it still was fun to pull for one. But stay healthy, stay sharp, and practice your asses off. I’ll see you at Lucas Oil Stadium in a little less than 3 weeks.
Dear Colts fans at the game,
I’m glad I was out of town and couldn’t go today. I generally hate most of the bandwagonnning idiots...
What was I doing again?
I worry for my short term memory. I’m now dependent on writing down or typing in every minute detail I need to remember immediately. Luckily I have a large variety of digital avenues in which to store and sync my lists and tasks and calendar items and ideas and various bits of data, but I’m twenty seven years old, not seventy two.
My grandmother has to write things down and make lists...

“Now go do your best. Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid. Goethe...”
– William Miller’s Mother. Funny thing is, that quote is mis-attributed to Goethe, it was actually said by Basil King. Still love the quote and that scene in the movie, especially Russell’s reaction.

The completely unfocused ad campaign for this movie is not doing it any favors. But, it’s funny that it’s being so roundly dismissed before the fact by people in my extended social circle while at the same time receiving such glowing reviews from film critics whose opinion I tend to share for the most part. It’s going to be interesting to see where most people land on it, say,...

Frank says in a few sentences what Fake Steve takes paragraphs to say in this bit of (very good) satire. Unfortunately that quote seems to be more prescient every day and apply to more and more things. It’s depressing to see news of mega infrastructure projects springing up in...
