Debt Ceiling
On one hand, we have a federal government which requires a certain amount of money to function. I’m sure there’s a lot of waste, but there’s also a lot people rely on.
On the other hand, we have Republicans. They are fundamentally opposed to reason.
What little the government does provide in the way of healthcare would have to be slashed; the Department of Education, which...
What's wrong with education
Education is busted as hell and it’s your selfish, entitled parents’ fault for creating a society where we treat learning as a chore and money as the ultimate objective. We think working is for poor people, we vote in anti-government morons to run our government and then complain that our government isn’t working as they sell it off piece by piece to the highest bidders, and we...

Dark Knight Rises plot
“The Dark Knight Rises” should totally have this plot:
Some bad guy is fucking up Gotham, and Batman will not stand for this. So he pursues him and it’s thrilling but pretty standard detective bullshit until the end. Batman kills whichever bad guy it was (it honestly won’t matter) but finds himself lured into a trap.
Enter Joseph Gordon Levitt with CGI assistance as The...

Vegetarian, 2 weeks in
It was a sudden change. Though I have been experimenting with a pescetarian diet off and on for the past few months, it was about two weeks ago that my meat-eating dropped precipitously to zero - and I didn’t even notice.
Most people have ethical or health related reasons for dropping meat from their diets. I’ll be the first to say that I am not a nutritionist. I routinely ask Sarah...

Just did a Judo / Brazilian jiu-jitsu show-and-tell at my co-op and narrowly had my ass beat. Just kidding, I was wrecked but I still had a lot of fun. I should start doing this regularly.

Racism
So Sarah and I are in the local bodega (called “The Bodega,” in upper-case) discussing an unpleasant fellow she is trying to avoid at my co-op. He’s something of a ne’er-do-well self-styled philosopher who is, by all accounts, insufferably narcissistic. She is adamant about avoiding him, going so far as to look furtively out the glass at the street from time to time in case...
I’m closer to Manzanillo, Mexico than New York or Jamaica, and I have actually visited the latter two. Challenge accepted.
