I'm Kind of a Big Deal in Karthoum, Sydney and Kazakhstan...

I have all-but-finished the first draft of my proposal.  I need to write about two more paragraphs from books that I'm still waiting for from the library, but which are waiting for me on reserve.  After that, I can turn it into Jim and let him rip it apart.  I need him to rip it apart, or I will never learn anything.

"The Choice"

UPDATE: Apparently the pamphlet publisher didn't appreciate me stealing his bandwidth by direct-sourcing his images just to make fun of them, and shut them off.  No bother, though... I have hosting, I was just lazy.

Amy happened upon this Psycho-Christian pamphlet at work the other day. Highlights include the picture of Satan that looks like Freddy Krueger, and the notion that both education and sports were invented by said Satan. The images are ripped off from the website of the tract producer, which I am not including because I think their mission is misguided and ultimately capitalistic. Really, does shit like this ever guide anyone, or at least guide the minute fraction of the people that it turns away permanently?

Who the Hell is Keith Olbermann?

I got this over a Myspace bulletin from my old friend, James Murray, who, back in the day, was the least political person I knew. That this could actually be allowed to air on corporate television is an encouraging sign. I read that this guy is a liberal television commentator, and I didn't know there could be such a thing, since the mass media is owned by "The Man."

It's ten minutes, but a worthy watch:

What an Embarrassing Mess...

Wow... sounds like great times at my alma mater....  I mean, I know it seems to be just a sports team, but this speaks so much more to problems in the university, the community, and with Division I athletics in general....

One Taco, Fold the Sicko, Jesus on the Slide.

Wow... that was a pretty full weekend.  I don't know if it relaxed me much at all, but it was stuffed with stimulating stuff.
