Quick Thoughts

Saw Burn After Reading. Loved it.

Why do I always hear about Republicans trying to disenfranchise voters all over the country, but I never hear that happening from the other side?

Why do the fundamentalist Christians now believe that it's okay for women (or is it just ONE woman) with children to work (in the second highest position in the world, nevertheless) when for years people like Dobson have been telling women to stay home and clean?

The White Sox better not blow this season.

That's all I got.

I Don't Care if the Movie Sucks

Please, Media... Do Your Job...

The Republican playbook doesn't look to have changed one little bit. Anyone paying attention already knows that the nomination of Sarah Palin wasn't done to woo Hillary Clinton supporters. Anyone who thinks that tactic would work are just sexist morons.

Clinton and Palin have NOTHING in common other than owning a vagina and breasts... well... allegedly. Do people really think that there's a significant population of women out there that would vote for a woman just because they're the same sex? The reason those women supported Clinton was because they believed in her policy and felt that she was a good pick for the nomination. Palin's just about the absolute opposite in just about every regard.

The real reason Palin was nominated was to get the wackjob fundamentalist vote. That's it, really. She's an anti-choice, anti-gay creationist.

I don't think it could be any clearer, and it's gonna be interesting to see how much the Republican party keeps her away from the media so she doesn't make an ass out of herself when asked tough questions.

Oh, John McCain... how far you've sunk from respectability.

To the media... you've really done a poor job covering this race so far. Please show some journalistic integrity, would ya?

Don't Try Break Into My House

Seriously.

This guy is guarding it.

Been A Long Time Since I Rock and Rolled....

Its been a long time since I rock and rolled,
Its been a long time since I did the stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
Its been a long time, been a long time,Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

I'm back, and I'm going to update soon.

Fandumb

There are fans of many things. There are obsessive fans of many things, too. Fans of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Comic Books, etc. all seem to get lumped together. I'd like to lump another group with them.

Sports fans.

Well, while sports fans aren't considered as "nerdy" as other fans, the truth of the matter is that they're NERDIER. Don't be fooled. All the stereotypes are in place here, folks. A geek with a Star Wars collection is a nerd. We all know that, but a jock with a sports infatuation is a really loud and obnoxious nerd.

Comic book nerd guy:



Football nerd guy:

So you tell me. What's the difference? There isn't any difference. They're just as obsessed and "weird" about their "hobby" as the other. I've also had the argument, "Well, sports have cheerleaders and the that makes it more "manly" than Comic Geek behavior.

Like the comic convention world hasn't had it's share of women volunteering for stereotyping:

I think I can make a fair assessment of the issue, too. While I've never painted myself up for a comic book convention or a baseball game, I attend the Wizard Universe Convention every year in Chicago, and I'm a die hard Chicago White Sox fan. I live both lives, but I've never gone "the extra mile" to make myself look like I need a job while enjoying said activities.

I just wanted to say, now that football season is underway, that if you're painting yourself up for a game, you're no different than the nerd at the comic convention. I think society as a whole has taken on the Star Wars/Star Trek/Lord of the Rings/etc... nerds on a regular basis. I think that society needs to recognize the extremists that are glorified in sports fandamonium. Nerds are nerds. Well, unless you're this guy... then you got real problems:
