Apropos of nothing, some short reactions to some newspaper articles I read this morning...

Another Western philosopher (re)discovers Buddhism without realising that's what he's doing.

And look, here's someone with a penis here to tell all the wimmins why they aren't happy.

Also: David Brooks compares the Obama administration to Nazi Germany, race baits with the specter of the Savage Black Man ravaging helpless Caucasians, automatically loses argument¹.

Also, fuck you, California.

¹David Brooks, if I ever see you walking down the street I will stop you and rip your balls off. I say this in the same spirit of "jest" as used in your vomitorious op ed above.

That will be all.

Absolutely. They're trying to please the rich, spoiled, frightened conservatives (e.g. my aunt and uncle) while not alienating the remainder of the population. No, assholes, indeed.

I saw that, and while the optimist in me thinks it's awesome, the conspiracy cynic thinks it's a ploy to take the fight to the Supreme Court in order to lose it, kinda like the radical religious right's concerted efforts to infiltrate pharmacies in order to deny women access to birth control.

I doubt it's a conspiracy, but there is a side of me that hears the ACLU's arguements that this is not the right time for this, because if it goes to the Supreme Court, which is leaning to the right, and likely to stay that way thanks to Obama's gutless choice, it'll get shot down.

But, we may be suprised. If Iowa can pass gay rights legislation, the world's getting better.
