I’m not sure one should hang around something that’s supposed to sting … much less something with the words ‘giant’ and ‘sting’ in the same name. Boston Globe piece about fundamentalism WELL worth the read: “… fundamentalist movements share another quality. They are inherently fractious, and this is one reason for their broad decline. When [...]
Billie’s Quickies … Facts are important things, and stuffing is nectar from the gods
I really don’t have a lot of comment about holiday politics, and I’m not sure how politics could quite be brought into what could have been a tragic flight for many people … SO, on with the quickies. Oh, aside from the stalling of the President’s appointments … that’s rather counterproductive. Well Put: “…to ignore [...]
Billie’s Quickies … Politics, food, sex, gadgets
Go ahead! Judge that book by its cover. Gosh I love a good mystery … and, this one involves a fast food sculpture. Farm raised fish that are pretty okay! Good. Wow: “Starting on July 9, 2009, Emily Zinnemann relinquished control of her life to the whims of 52 strangers, friends, & acquaintances. Each participant [...]
Billie’s Quickies … Light holiday dishes, big-eyed kids, and clearly defined missions
This continues to be VERY interesting: “A study put out by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy has found evidence that the majority of teens at risk of unwanted pregnancy are not from low income and/or single parent families.” More great arguments against over-medication. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise [...]
Poor poor capitalist suckers
Poor Capitalists. Too bad, so sad. They didn’t think of what a GORGEOUS opportunity it would be to take advantage of the “greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” Hey, this is a capitalistic society … why are moneymakers so late to the game and so deluded about it? Snake Oil salesmen have been [...]
Billie’s Quickies … “Spam Jam 2010?” WTF?
A tool for telling bedtime stories remotely. Cute. “You’re asking if the breadth of technology and knowledge available to a writer in 2009 is too much? I always saw it the other way around: that we are living at a time when, for the writer, the book is too little.” “For those who are agnostic [...]
Why did “Time” expire an article directly relating to Mike Huckabee?
Just last month it was announced that the Supreme Court was set to determine whether it is “unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment to send a juvenile away to prison for life, without the possibility of parole for a crime that does not involve a death …” Time pulled the article. When, I can’t say, nor [...]
Billie’s Quickies … Has Michael Vick really served his time?
Now THIS, is how ‘an eye for an eye’ is accomplished! Periodic tables - Yay! Hey, these flexible tripods are pretty cool … I wish I were a photographer, I’d get one. Great holiday idea for the kids! Good mood foods! Ever wonder if you’re hidden in the background of strangers’ photos? Well, there’s a [...]
Guess who’s also responsible for escalation in Afghanistan?
*Sigh* So. We’re sending more troops to Afghanistan to help citizens there defend themselves from Al Quaeda according to the powers that be. And, we’re running drones into Pakistan to chase some baddies back into Afghanistan (from what I’m understanding) so they don’t get their hands on “the nukes.” Okay. So.
Notes on the @Mediaite Party
Editor’s note: I realize that this is insanely detailed and disjointed, but it’s more for me than for you, sorry. I don’t get the chance to just crap out random thoughts very often (no wisecracks, please), so I’m indulging myself a little. Last night, I had the honor of attending a celebration of my success [...]
