As a black person, I've always faced discrimination and persecution. People look at me with judgment and disgust when I go outside into the sun, even though that's what they do and it's not really what makes me black. But I'm starting to realize that I deserve to be treated so meanly because it's my own fault for being black. My behavior makes me ( Read more... ) -
Kathleen Parker
Parker is my favorite columnist. She is remarkably level-headed and "non-partisan" (in that her views come from her personal philosophy and not dictated by what her side is supposed to believe). I find myself almost always agreeing with her, if not before I start reading a column of hers, then after ( Read more... ) -
Let the Man Talk
I've made it no secret, particularly here, that I enthusiastically supported McCain for president and apart from Obama's policy on terror strongly disagree with pretty much everything he's done.
But guess what? He's my president. And he's my students' president. When he wants to talk, he has a right to be heard.
So I'm particularly peeved when this ( Read more... ) -
The Ugly Duckling
Once upon a time a mother duck had seven baby ducklings, but one of the ducklings was larger and uglier than the rest. The other ducks would remark behind their backs on how ugly the duckling was. The other ducklings would tease and pick on the poor ugly duckling. The ugly duckling was certain he was doomed to be ugly and happy forever, until one ( Read more... ) -
Because Hamlet is Long
Here's the rules:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies. 2. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie. 3. Post them in a note for everyone to guess. 4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. 5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions. That's cheating and it ruins the fun.
1. "I'm just a fucked up girl ( Read more... ) -

Stranger in a Strange Land
Whenever I'm enjoying a book, I find myself casting the movie.
Movie Title - Stranger: People misunderstand the importance of shortening movie titles. It's not just to make it snazzy. It's so people can say "Hey, you seen Stranger yet?" quickly. Otherwise, everyone twists their tongues talking about your film.

The need for more respectful agreement is becoming a key cause of mine, enough so that I'm not far from getting active about it.
I'm thinking seriously about writing a book:
Fucktard: How the Culture of Nastiness Among Young Adults is Hurting America
Really people, stop being so ugly to each other, you idiots. -
It's Just the Way I Was Raised
As weeks have passed since the Miss USA debacle, several things have gnawed at me:
1. That Perez Hilton is judging anyone and being taken seriously.
2. That Miss California had to answer a serious question while her opponent go thrown a softball (I don't object to the question; I just think Miss NC should have gotten something just as tough).
3. That ( Read more... )
