First read this article in Salon about the freak show that is Michael Savage, then visit and sign GLAAD’s online petition to take this guy off his new show on MSNBC. Then go buy this book on The myth of the liberal media, and read why public discourse is being held hostage to right-wing corporate interests.
Oh, yeah — don’t forget to fill out Bill Frist’s Opinion Poll about the war.
Guy gets arrested for wearing a “Pro Peace” T-shirt at the mall, and the really ironic thing is that he BOUGHT THE SHIRT AT THE MALL. Then got arrested for putting it on right there. Yet another case of “Wait, what the hell country do we live in?”
Send the U.N. a message asking them not to support the U.S. resolution to invade Iraq.
Letter of resignation submitted to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell by U.S. diplomat John Brady Kiesling, a career diplomat who has served the United States at embassies from Israel to Morocco to Armenia. My favorite part: “Why does our President condone the swaggering and contemptuous approach to our friends and allies this Administration is fostering, including among its most senior officials. Has “oderint dum metuant” really become our motto?”
Strange Sisters: Lesbian Pulp Fiction: I have a book of pulp fiction covers like this, but the site is also neat. Of course I grabbed all the cover images for my own use.
Last night I finished stripping all the wallpaper off the walls in the living room. I’m very relieved to have that done… Now I just have a thousand other things to do in the room before I’ll be ready to move in and use it. [sigh].
A fun site of kids tag and other games. So far, all the ones I can remember are there. If there are some that you remember, e-mail and let them know. I wish they’d do a site of all the goofy song lyrics we used to sing as kids — like “jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg….” I looked around for a site like that, but haven’t found one.
So this weekend I spent Saturday stripping wallpaper off the walls in the living room, and doing some cleaning in the living room and throughout the house. I finished two walls, have two to go. I felt kind of funny/ill all day, dunno why.
Saturday night Kathy and I went out to the final evening of Utopia, which is now closed. Kim Archer was singing, and Jess Curtis, and others. It was an interesting evening, but I have to say, I didn’t really feel all that sad about the closing. It was a decent club, but I’ve kind of moved on in a lot of ways from going out all the time. And I have to say it was never as much fun as going to the Ten. The crowd at the Ten is just more fun and accessible and doesn’t seem to be made up of people who would blow you off if you spoke to them. The crowd at Talbott Street seems pretty snotty too, come to think of it. Interesting — Talbott Street used to have a website up, but when I searched for it to link to, it’s no longer there. Hmmmm.
Sunday I went shopping for stuff to help organize my house. Then later Kathy came over and we put up two sections of drywall. Then we accidentally bumped the good hammer, and it fell through the hole in the floor down into the crawl space. So Kathy figured out how to fish it out of the hole while I took a break to relax and ummm… de-stress. Then we showered, and she gave me a backrub, and when I fell asleep, she did her laundry and also washed all my dishes, so when I came downstairs, all my dishes were done. Isn’t that the coolest thing? She’s pretty thoughtful.

If you’ve never seen a Fark.com Photoshop contest, then this instant classic one will explain it all – basically they take a photo and alter it in photoshop in a funny way. Today’s contest: What’s missing from George Bush’s hands?
