Happy Leap Day 2008

We can take some comfort in the fact that we’ve made SOME progress on the sexism front in the last 100 years. Not that much, since the only female Presidential candidate we’ve ever had has men telling her to iron their shirts, but at least women can ask ask men out on dates more than once every four freaking years.

Isn’t it surprising to see stuff like this and realize how bad things used to be?


A few year back, I blogged about finding Anti-Women’s Suffrage buttons on eBay, and how they were being bought by museums and universities for huge amounts of money. But seeing the postcards and texts were huge eye-openers, not because people’s attitudes have changed all that much, just that they’ve gotten more subtle/less open about their messages.

This is a very cool solution to a problem I currently have – my nightstand is full, and I have no place to put the book I’m reading in bed. This book pocket from a vintage table runner is ideal.

Dear VW: This is not a fucking microbus
How many times to I need to repeat it, before you dudes figure it out? I want a hybrid fucking Microbus. This new van (Routan? WTF) is ugly as hell. Nevertheless, it’s actually in production and will be coming out, although it’s butt ugly.

Build a damn BUS. A hybrid friggin’ BUS. Build THIS:
As a hybrid. It’s really not that friggin’ hard to figure out.
I know I got excited about this spaceUp!Blue thing – and it wasn’t that terrible looking. I was mainly excited about anything resembling a microbus idea at all, plus it’s supposed to be a hybrid. But they’re not going to make it in the US.
Actually, the closest they came to doing it right was the concept Bus that they came out with a few years ago (around 2003 or so)
They scotched it due to “lack of interest.” I doubt that highly – I think it was a lack of interest in square friggin’ headlights. And a potential gas guzzler. Put some round headlights on there, and make it a HYBRID, and people will buy it.
ERRR. It’s not rocket surgery, people.
Pack Rat
my utter lack of blogging lately has been entirely due to playing a Facebook game called pack rat. It’s a card trading game and is completely addicting. I’ve completely neglected numerous obligations to friends and household maintenance due to this game.
In other news, my eye doctor says my eyes are healing exactly as expected. Though they’re still blurry and I’m really impatient about it, that’s good news and makes me relieved. I was a bit worried avoid the pace.

Why do these guys never get fired for shit like this? Anyone else would. I guess if you want to be a sexist, homophobic asshole unchecked, get a job in the media.

Duly noted.

“A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.” No shit.
