11.13 // Socialist plots through the ages

Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaa….
(Haven’t posted in days, sorry… I meant to do a veteran’s day thing, I’ll do that later… between running, school, and NaNoWriMo – I have over 20,000 words now! - I have virtually no time.)

10.26 // up late again

Yes, I’m up late again, though today it’s due to bona fide need to be up late… homework. Blech. Namely, a variety of painfully useless and pointless projects:
1. writing a French skit… to learn farm animals. Really?
2. flashcards for the periodic table. Need I say more?
3. coloring – yes, coloring – an 8 x 12 [...]

10.21 // Way to go, South Carolina

“Two Republican county chairmen in South Carolina have apologized for a newspaper op-ed article that stereotyped Jews as financial penny pinchers.”
Adding to the already lengthy list of major faux pas – if one could call the outrageous mishaps that have South Carolinian politicians brought upon themselves mere faux pas – is this little gem, which I [...]

9.12 // A break from fashion week to talk about my real life

9.12 // Obamacare vs. Medicare

Even though I don’t think it’s quite right (it seems to me that seniors themselves aren’t doing a whole lot of shouting and protesting), I really like this.

Always start the morning off right – with a healthy dose of political cartoonage!
I’ll be posting a rant on this sometime soon, just to let you know.  :)

7.2 // day two of this grand venture

It’s only been what, a week or so, since the highly disputed Iranian elections, and already this hot topic seems to be fading into the woodworks (relatively speaking). Such is the fate of any international news item… [Overshadowed by Al Franken's Senatorial (haha) election and the Marines' attempt to gain control of that Afghan valley [...]

6.22 // An interesting point…

From NYT:
“Mr. Qashqavi drew comparisons with American election results.
‘No one encouraged the American people to stage a riot’ because they disagreed with the re-election of George W. Bush in 2004, he said.”
True, so true. This goes to further my point that our current culture is a degenerately complacent one. (Although on this particular subject, I tend [...]

6.22 // On cultural revolution and the wars (and thermite)

[Started this post about a month ago and never got around to finishing it off, so with all my free time I've finally done it. Social activism stuff after the thermite. Oh, I'm not sure, but some stuff may be outdated by now... I don't know. Let me know.]
Such a good day. School – who [...]
