I have this odd obsession with pinhole cameras, tho I’ve yet to build one. Someone who will do the work of finding the best breadmaker …. priceless. The freedom to criticizeis another great part of being an American. The will not to sometimes is an art. Well, if this catches on, we’re all gonna catch [...]
Billie’s Quickies … Physics, Feminism, and Imprisonment
Sometimes my quickies link to oldish news, but just such as the first quickie, the sentiment stands the test of time, or the thing is just too neat not to repeat. I totally agree with this sentiment, and am sad I have posted it so late – “If I were Robert Gibbs, I would open [...]
Billie’s Quickies … Iraq has a navy, SURPRISE ‘the church’ is sexist, and ole crazy eyes hisself
Preach, Maureen talking about some nun! “‘It is the rare bishop,’ Sister X writes, ‘who has any real understanding of the lives women actually lead.’ The church can be flexible, except with women.” Little known fact … Iraq has a Navy. H/T Neatorama. This just about sums up a great post: “Glad I could rock [...]
Billie’s Quickies … “How degraded, barbaric and depraved a society becomes when it lifts the taboo on torturing captives.”
What a GREAT idea! “Recognizegood.com was created by the Samaritan Center and high-tech services and products supplier TyRex Group Ltd. earlier this year to raise money for local charities. The site is free to use, but for each recognition of a good deed, TyRex gives the Samaritan Center $1.”
Billie’s question for today…How many women on Obama’s staff play basketball?
Well, maybe it’s several questions. First, how many of the President’s staff who are women play basketball? Second, of those, how many want to play basketball with the President? Third, how many have been asked? Here’s the deal … questions two and three can be answered by answering question one. Now, if we now wish [...]
Billie’s Quickies … In other news “Ms. Steinem, why aren’t you brainwashing well enough?”
Hey guys, it’s been a while since we heard about the man from Kentucky found hanging with “Fed” written on his chest. Updates are important to me – and probably to everyone else – and since I hadn’t seen one in a while … here ya go: “Mr. Trosper agrees that the case is “perplexing” [...]
Update: Scarlet Letter anyone?
Disgusting: “Feminists for Choice alerts us to a new Oklahoma law (yes, law, not “proposed legislation” or “some kind of sick joke”) set to go into effect Nov. 1 that would collect detailed data about each abortion performed — and post it all on a public Web site called ShameOnYouWhore.com.” Update: The problem is … [...]
Billie’s Quickies … “A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.”
It’s Banned Book Week. Sound Advice: “I would encourage everybody, think in terms of what your reader wants. These are ultimately consumer businesses and if you piss off enough of them, you will not have any more.” On the decline of the English Department: ” … at the root is the failure of departments of [...]
Billie’s Quickies … “How very”
I agree with and respect Glenn Greenwald (@glenngreenwald) an awful lot. He’s an uber smarty pants who – even when I do find something with which to disagree (and I do, even in the article where the quote below came from) – I can still see where he’s coming from and respect him for educating [...]
