WatchThe Last Campaign of Governor Booth Gardner (Clip)
This is the short documentary that my cousin Henry produced that is up for an Oscar this year. I got to see it last night at the MoMa, and it’s pretty spectacular — sad, provocative, etc. It will be on HBO soon, but until then here’s a clip from the beginning of the film. I highly recommend. Here’s their description of it:

The fittingly named TigerText allows users to set a time limit on how long a text remains on a recipient’s phone after it’s read. Once the message’s lifespan ends, the app’s developers say there’s no trace of it on any phones or servers.
When, for example, a cheating spouse sends his mistress an iPhone message via TigerText, the mistress will be prompted to install the app. The...

Another Abortion
Today I stopped reading the tumblr fucknoliberals after about two days of doing so. It quickly became apparent that, like most conservatives these days, this person has a very tenuous grasp of the way the world works and turns into a screaming seven-year-old the moment anyone challenges his very poorly constructed arguments.
I disagree vehemently with his views on abortion, and expressed as much...

Though the economy performed more poorly than predicted, that was not due to the ineffectiveness of the stimulus package, CBO said.
“In CBO’s judgment, that outcome reflects greater-than-projected weakness in the underlying economy rather than lower-than-expected effects” of the stimulus, the research office said.
Respect the sanctity of life! Repeal Roe v. Wade!

I guess this is worth reading. Buddy has done a pretty thorough job of going through just about every ‘what if’ scenario that we pro-abortionists throw at the anti-abortionists, and has given as detailed a rebut one could ever want....

Here's the Difference
I haven’t heard this line of attack yet from any Republicans in office, but conservative ‘news’ outlets are starting to trumpet it: Republicans requesting stimulus funds for their districts is the same thing as Democrats not returning their Bush tax cuts.
Where. To. Begin.
The Republican line of attack on the stimulus isn’t this money could be better spent. It is the...
Bear with me.
Just started two new jobs, so… gotta figure out how they work. My internet might be a bit cobwebby for the next few days or a week or something.

If the United States had a functioning criminal justice system for the powerful – not just for run-of-the-mill offenders – former Vice President Dick Cheney would have convicted himself and some of his Bush administration colleagues with his comments on ABC’s “This Week.”

Seriously, vote. I’d love to see them report this.
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! I DID IT, AND NOW I’M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!
That was fun!
